The fairly large increase in traffic that I’ve been getting over the last week or two has made the desire to update the site into a reality. So, as of about three hours ago I am working on new site features while will probably take another day or two. There won’t be any huge changes to the overall look of the site, but I do plan to smooth out the overall style; maybe tweak some colors and formats a bit. I’ll be adding a number of miscellaneous features during this time period too, as well as making the site a bit more friendly to commenters and such. I’m also going to be trying to tie together a number of the previously disconnected features of the site into the main page, so hopefully this won’t all crash and burn on me.
If you see any bugs, have any recommendations for tweaks/additions, or anything else then, please, leave a comment and let me know. I’m seeing a lot of new readers to the site lately (along with a lot more spambots, but the increase in traffic appears to be primarily some sort of human), so I’d be very happy to see a move towards a more vocal group of readers.
And due to some life-related stuffs, the update to yesterday’s entry may take a day or two longer than originally planned. I’ll probably just make a new post regarding this when I hit “full draft” status.
That’s all for now. I hope you all enjoy some of the very minimal updates I have planned.
Update: I’m currently updating the old Gallery to Gallery 2 and it’s not going as smooth as one might hope. So, essentially, if you’ve ever linked to anything in that gallery for your own purposes then it’ll be broken until I can get it to cooperate when I wake up tomorrow. All apologies and such.
Update 2: Gallery 2.0 is kind of terrible. And by “kind of terrible,” I really mean that it is so bad that if you actually feel even the most remote inkling of compassion for the software that it will come to your house and piss on your walls, rub honey all of your body, and release a colony of killer African bees into your house. If you still feel sorry for Gallery 2.0, the thing will just continue to torture you until you give it the hate it so rightly deserves. Anyway, so now my unnecessarily extensive Gallery is back in action in the same form we all know and love. And I’m sorry if its downtime caused some sort of problem for anyone. I sure know that the number of hits and unique visitors that had cause to come here by means of a 404 page (Gallery 2.0 liked to change URLs for no reason) made the total hit/visit counter skyrocket, so that at least means that if no one reads the front page that they sure as hell link to the gallery. Anyhoo, more subtle, insignificant, and damn near pointless updates to follow.
