Another Step Closer
I'm pretty giddy.
I think the website is pretty much done. All my pages have the information they require. I also have the code validated. That makes me happy. A few typos and a few illegal use of div tags. They didn't like my encasing my navigation in link tags. Found a work arounds and fix any errors I had and still had errors, but that was because I was using a wordpress plugin for a poll, and the plugin was poorly written so that code didn't validate. found a different poll plugin that validates and I like much better. Required a little extra work to get it to work, but in the end it has more customization options, but yet simpler to add polls. I need to customize the look of that, but other than that the main site is done.
I'm working on the forum as well. Using MyBB for a forum, and using a premade theme. It's a lot of work to create a forum theme from scratch, and it's not something that I want to do. It doesn't really match the website, but it has the same spirit as it. Takes some time to configure a forum. I think I have most of the forum settings the way I want them. I need to create a few users and go through the motions and see if I need to tweak anymore settings. I also need to create the categories and what not. Forum rules are also on the things to do.
In non website related news, Brett Detar [link removed], the former lead singer of the former band Juliana Theory, released his solo album for free today. Not what I was expecting from him. It's still execellent. Has a country/western vibe to it. Banjos and violins (or fiddles... honestly don't know the difference, other than how they are played). He writes very poetic lyrics, which I really like. I suggest you check it out via the link on his name. It's free.
I'm gonna go again. That's what I do. I work on the webiste, post an update, leave you with some extra information, then leave.
