Suggestions welcome, i still need to tweak the comments form (which you can’t see) to have some updated graphics, but other than that what you see is what you get.
I’m still unsure about the navigation etc.
I was speaking with Brandon today, and he mentioned that IF3 was in the works. Yes, thats right, IF3.
Ok, i lie. So shoot me.
On an unrelated note, I updated the Mood Changer to now allow me to write a sentance or so about my mood, and it displays that on the image. Using PHP to create images has been pretty interesting (although i’ve only done relativly basic things with it).
The What kind of mood are you in? thread over at the InvisionFree Support forums got me thinking about something i’d like to make, but am not 100% sure about.
I’d like to make something showing my current “mood” which i can display somewhere (such as a forum or webpage), which can be easily changeable without hassle. The way i have this planned in my head is that i have a simple web-based control panel (perhaps even a wordpress plugin so i could do it when blogging?) where i can log in, and simply choose from a list of pre-defined “moods”. Because I want to display this on forums/webpages etc. it’d most likely be an image i’d want to display (i used to have an unhappy avatar over at InvisionFree Support which is similar to what i’d want now). Once i’ve chosen a mood, the script - most likely written in PHP - would just copy an existing image and rename it “mood.png” or something (keeping the original) so that in a signature I could just easily link the image.
The bit i’m unsure as to how to do is the copying and renaming of images. I *think* i’ve done something similar before when I did the CMS for GTA Xtreme, but it wasn’t 100% the same.
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions about how to do this, with code snippets or links to references that I could look at, that would be awesome.
Woo Woo! Yeah, i got WordPress to work with my layout just about, but it was a bit touch and go! I have some plans for this layout (which actually involves multiple themes when i can get around to making them!) which are going to hopefully be implemented soon. I fell in love with the header image which i’ve used (gotta love stock photo’s!) and plan on incorporating more great header images for themes. Credit for it will be put in the About page once it’s done.
If you find any problems, please let me know. I’m unsure as to how the comments section will work out. Chances are there will be a problem or something there.
Due to various circumstances, my old blog went kaput!
Basically, for some reason i can’t upload anything properly when i’m at uni and i was trying to upgrade to WordPress 2 and give my website a whole new look (with a shiney new layout i have ready). So not being able to upload properly and attempting to upgrade means that it’s all gone wrong.
I’m not too fussed because i barely used to blog anyway, and this gives me a fresh start. I will get around to porting my layout to wordpress and getting the rest of the site up and ready too. I’m playing around with a few things at the moment, and tweaking the layout (it’s a bit plain in the body of it at the moment) to get it just right. Once that’s all done, i will unleash it on you all
