Bringing the creature to life

So I know this isn’t really my blog, but what the heck, I thought I’d post on it anyway
As the middle of the year is fast approaching I thought I’d better get my ass into gear and get poor Timmy’s site finished. So I’m attempting to do that… If you’ve been checking out the site occasionally, you’ll notice new updates to the Blog as of this morning… You can now comment your life away, the sidebar has been updated, and I’ve also implemented search so you can find the ramblings you wish with the greatest of ease.
We’re also rejigging a couple of things on the main site… There’s a lot that’s half finished at the moment, so hopefully this week we should be able to get some polish happening, and tick some boxes on the “finished” list.
By the way… I’m v. proud of the Gallery hehe… For those of you who are more technically minded, I would like to gloat that the gallery is actually generated using fairly basic content management system that I wrote. Like very basic. But it brings together a few technologies (most of which I still only have a vague knowledge of) which we’ve done at uni, such as:
- XML
- XSL (XML Stylesheets)
- XSLT (XSL Transformations)
- Javascript
- PHP
Hehe. It’s my baby
Anyways I do believe that’s enough rambling on my part. If you find any technical issues with the blog/site, please let me or Tim know and I’ll fix it up as soon as possible! But overall I’m pretty happy with how the beast is progressing ![]()
