... oh no! you found me.

I'm still not sure why yet but I tinkered with the site today

Posted: Saturday, April 18th, 2009 @ 04:41 PM under Website

I've found that I actually have a lot of free time if I don't sleep. So while my insomnia still keeps hold of me I decided to fix some issues with my bullet lists in Firefox. I ended up doing a lot more in the process. I'm not really sure why but I enjoy messing about with this site. I think it's because I don't actually have any regular people who come here other than one or two. I suppose when your site sucks that you enjoy it more? No, that don't make sense, but I definitly don't feel this motivated to work on my more established sites.

I added a bunch of stuff such as: latest blog posts, latest comments, and site stats info boxes on the left and right panel.

I also added a voting poll, on the right panel, which will show if you're on the home page *only*. Unlike commenting on blog posts you do not need a user account to vote on the polls so knock yourself out and atleast give me the illusion someone out there is reading.

I also redid a lot of the design of the left/right panels. I actually redid them position wise and style wise like 2,000 times in the last few hours but I think I'm finally liking it.


It's kind of ironic; the sites I need to write lots of stuff for I don't ever want to, but the site which only needed a simple blog I keep making lots of stuff for.

I suppose I'll tackle the profile birthday countdown thing and then call it quits on this site again. I'm debating putting comments on the voting poll and still debating a photo gallery. I originally intended to put commenting on the voter poll to begin with but I figured for now it's not really needed, maybe if I setup Guest commenting I'll add it because right now I don't think I'll ever have more than 20 or 30 users here.

Now, come on google, give me the godly PageRank 10 for this spiffy website!
