    What the heck - a small update

    I figured that I may as well give another small update saying what I plan to do with this place - assuming I can find the time and motivation, of course. I won’t bore you with details of what I’ve been doing for a little bit yet.

    • Update the code to my latest development version; it’s been ready for ages but my host is only just beginning to implement PHP5 (which it requires).
    • Create an importer so that I can grab my entries from WB and put them over here fairly easily.
    • Perhaps create a little guide for the BBCode and stuff so that you can all comment easily. Maybe add some more for functionality.
    • Create an image store; this way I can easily create galleries and put images into my entries without having to worry about uploading them manually.
    • Put all of the photos back up again?
    • Create a new style for the place (perhaps based off of my WB style), as well as a style manager.
    • Create a user control panel (basic).
    • Create the admin control panel (again, basic).
    • Perhaps look into actually releasing the source code (if people would actually be interested in this).

    Well, I’m going to install apache on my new laptop now and see if I can actually come through with any of this. So I suppose that I will try and update tomorrow or sometime soon. Tomorrow isn’t out of the picture, however, since I have about a gazillion frees.

      Surprisingly enough, I’d be interested in the source code. I need something to learn off of, since my PHP skills aren’t all that great (I can write a wiki software, but it’s mostly the simplest ways I can do things).

      That’s cool. Honestly didn’t expect anyone to still be reading this thing :-)
      I’m going to try and get some work done on this in my spare time over the Easter holidays (when I’m not revising). Hopefully I’ll get it all polished up by then. I’ve created a CSS templating system which makes it relatively trivial to implement new styles, but it still needs a little bit of work.
