Website upgrades

Posted at 10:23 AM | Filed under Blog Life | Permalink

Fixing up this website has surely been a big distraction, but I think all the upgrades are finally complete.

Bug fixes

I should've delayed the release of Green Beam City. If you visited the website last week, you wouldn't noticed a series of broken links and internal server errors. All those errors are now a thing of the past. Knock on wood.

Re-archiving Entries

As you recall from this entry, I was able to recover most of my blog entries from Mattism, expect for the image components. So I spent most of the weekend, recovering pictures from my picture archives and Google image search. You should be able to browse through the archives without encountering a billion broken image links.

Expanded footer panel

I've added a two components in the footer panel: Latest Tweets and Recent Comments. These two are pretty self explanatory.

Dynamic Publishing

I never fully understood how to get dynamic publishing to work back when my blog was on the Mattism subdomain, but after some endless trial and error, email threads with tech support, lots of permission changes, it's finally working. You will notice the cleaner URLs for each entry, which were inspired by Ram's blog.

As a result of the transition to dynamic publishing, the links made prior to the upgrades are now be broken. Sorry for all the trouble.

Thanks Ram.

Nope, I hope to fix a few small things with incompatibilites with Internet Explorer, but other than that, it's time for a break from this stuff.
