A gift to myself

So I finally took the time to update a few things in the backend of the site as well as fix some stuff in the front end. My motivation came after I offered to buy a Flickr Pro account for whichever Cascade posts the best comment to one of my photos. I decided it would probably be good to finally fix the last few css issues I wanted to change.

Once that was done I decided to go ahead and add in the new “recent pics” section to the sidebar and then change up the order a bit. That turned into wanting to make the Meta list be a bit more verbose in terms of cutesy little icons I felt like making. Which in turn led to me adding in the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin. It’s still a bit dodgy but I’ll soon have a related posts function added in and the archives page tag cloud and the flickr tag cloud will be integrated into the archives page allowing searching any file, story, or content on the site. That brings to a near close everything I plan on changing markupwise in the short term future.

Next week/month I’ll be optimizing the theme files in preparation to add in the stylesheet swapper as well as to throw in a simple header swap before really knuckling down on that aforementioned (many moons ago; the very first post here in fact) ‘Sonata’ theme. I’ve got a ton of ideas but no spare time to work on them. Regardless, expect to see a lot more in the way of integration, optimization and beautification all while keeping everything functional and most importantly, usable.

I leave tomorrow for the holidays for a week but lots of new stuff in the New Year, Happy Holidays to you all and see you post-Christmas most likely.

Hmm oddly the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin seems to be taking my suggested keywords it gives me and adding ALL of them into each post as I edit the tag lists. Wonderous. Oh well it can keep for the next few weeks.

Happy Holidays to you all.
