Why The Lack Of Updates
Hello all.
You may have noticed a huge lack up updates. First off, been busy. Second, crafting a new website (not a www.royfuss.com redesign). Third, this website design is a mess.
This website design is 100% html, that means I hardcode each news post, which is a stupid decision on my part. After i finish up this new website, I'll get on redesigning this website, which actually won't take long. I kinda want a new look to the website, but even just putting in a mysql/php backend would be nice and less time intesive. So that's my story.
The new website I will not tell you yet, because I have a tendency to start a website and then just stop working on it. However, I've been working on this website for months and it should see the light of day.
Most of the design is done. I've just finished up the banner today, and I absolutely love it. It needs some finishing touches, but the hard part is done. I've using a MySQL/PHP backend, and CSS, and that's complete, except a few minor touches that need to be added to fit the changes I need to do. So hurray for me!
I'm just trying to figure out what I need for the website, section wise. I've got a news, and index pages, but I'm debating if I need to section up the news page a bit, which I think I do. Then I need to decide on the navigation bar structure. Do I want a drop down box, with the sub sections of the news section? Stuff like that. Than I need to create those pages, which should be simple, because of css.
My design process takes way to long. I had a piece of the banner done months ago, but I just couldn't think of a way to finish it up. Finally I just did something simple today, and bam, looked fantastic. I had a layout and design for a few months, but today I decided that it looks great and should be the final design. That's exciting because I can start creating the pages. I'm currently using a local webserver that I created to test my website, and everything looks like it is going smoothly.
I'm going to have a forum, so I need to make that, which is an easy process because I'll use MyBB. I'll be happy if I get this done within a month or two. I'm just really busy with school and work. Saturdays are pretty much the only day for me to work on it.
I'll post updates and let you know a better timeframe in the future, just don't expect too many updates. When I have the site uploaded and ready to go, I'll post a news post and on the home page.
Sorry, but no "Games To The Video" for this half, which makes me sad.
