Site Updates

Saturday, April 10th, 2010 at 5:54 pm

I decided to post my warrenshea.com site updates…I kind of want a log of what I’ve worked on, etc.

1. Complete – I got my RSS Reader widget (on right hand side) working. I had to mess with the wordpress widget code so that it’d be styled properly. Finding the code probably took the longest…figuring it out was tricky too, but doable.

2. To Do – I’m creating a TO DO page….to keep track and status of the shows I’m watching. I generally can’t stay up to date with my shows because I don’t know when they air, and I don’t know what episode I left off at. I’m going to create a database table and an admin page for simple updating…Googling PHP and CRUD gave me what I needed in a few minutes. Hopefully finish building that tonight! Then I’ll have 3 sections to my site! Yay!

3. To Do – I’m bringing all my comments over from blogspot, WITH correct timestamp. It’s taking FOREVER and it’s uber annoying for reasons I won’t go in to.

4. Comment – So far, I’m finding that PHP is a lot like regular ASP…very spaghetti code-ish. I tend to like spaghetti code, I find it linear and easy to read….but, I figure spaghetti code is kinda like inline styles of which I don’t like…I like keeping my styles and stylesheets completely separate from the rest of my code. It’s probably that I just don’t have much experience with Ravioli code…I’ve used it before but I grew up with spaghetti code. Still…I’ll have to change that, Ravioli >> Spaghetti after all…my EPIC SITE will be Ravioli, that I guarantee.
