Progress on the Site and Such
Current Music: When It’s Sleepy Down South (By Satchmo. Performed by Arturo Sandoval et al)
I am setting a goal of having my website up by Friday 3 June. That means:
- my blog will be there instead of here
- there will be no (intentionally) dead links
- none of the pages linked to will be without real content
- I will make an alpha release of jackalBlog on SourceForge under the GPL
- everything (CSS, XHTML, RSS) will be validated, strict if applicable
I decided to make all of my pages fully dynamic. *All* of the text of *every* page will be read from MySQL tables and stuffed into appropriate XHTML tags by `smart’ PHP code. I also need to add RSS , pinging, and haloscan support to the blogging code. At some point I’d like to redesign the posting backend (make it cuspier) and adapt it to the task changing page content and creating pages on-the-fly. But that can wait until after I get the site up, as no one sees such things but me.
Boring post, but it’s an update anyway.
