Welcome to the New
I’ve been working on this for a few months now. First off, on the old website, I noted that I was working on a new site. I also noted that I might do a redesign of Royfuss… well this is the redesign. The site I was working on and never let anyone know about didn’t work out. I didn’t secure it and it got hacked. As a result, the site got butchered. I have since abandoned the site. This site is secured up the wazzoo, and I’ll make sure it stays that way.
The old site is still available. I am thinking about transferring the old news posts to the new design. That will be very large task, and I’m trying to think if it will be worth it. The old site is completely hard coded HTML. If I can do it efficiently, I’d be happy. Meaning, if I do another redesign that I can transfer it easily to a new design.
Comments are enabled. Feel free to comment. I might need to approve it. If I start getting spam (which I am expecting) I’ll have to switch up some stuff. Ideally, I’d like to be able to have you login with your Facebook, Twitter, or whatever social network login. Those plugins were hard to test without uploading to a server, so if you notice random Facebook widgets popping up, that’s what I’m doing. I’ll give you heads up if I do do that.
No forum. Also no downloads page or media page. Too much of a headache, and I saw no point. I decided that royfuss.com exists for two reasons: a blog and a portal. The Blog is self explanatory. I also want to do tutorials. I might have to test a few things with the tutorials page. The portal is the Royfuss Sites page. It’s a page that links to pet projects of mine. If I do create a wiki or something for another project, but don’t want to buy a domain, I want an easy link for people to follow.
Anyways, welcome to the new site. I hope you like the design. I went through three designs to get this far. I’ll be doing some tweaking over the next few weeks, but this is pretty much the final design. As a few cosmetic things will get tweaked, as well the tutorials jazz. Obviously will add more text to the About page. I’m going to put images in most posts, and they’ll float to the right like on this post, at least for the time being. I’ll decide how I want it and might experiment with a few ideas.
