I have finally managed to convert everything on my site to the new look and feel. Every entry has its own individual page. I also have monthly pages for all posts within a month and category pages for all posts in a category. The category files tend to be quite long, but they’re there. The only section that hasn’t been updated is the pages I had when I was planning my wedding. I will eventually post those, too, but I imagine you can live without them easily.
I’ve converted all the pictures and added a huge collection including: random mix i, torrey pines – part ii, la jolla, muir woods national monument, san francisco – twin peaks, pacific coast highway – big sur, pacific coast highway – ragged point, pacific coast highway – pismo beach, pacific coast highway – on the road, new year’s eve 2003 – hotel del, new year’s eve 2003 – torrey pines, new year’s eve 2003 – pacific beach, sea world, julian cemetery, san diego wild animal park, torrey pines – part i, anze borrego desert, san diego zoo, joshua tree national park, hillside, turkey with my family, and mosques in istanbul. Those should entertain you at least for a while. I’ve also added a feature where the main page in the photograph set shows you thumbnails and then you can click on anything you like. You might or might not be shocked to find out that there are over 5000 photographs posted in the photograps section of this site. I was certainly quite surprised. I wonder if that means I can justify buying a fancy camera, now.
The books section is updated as well and the book names are now alphabetical so you can easily find one you’re searching for in the really long list. There are many book excerpts to be posted in the coming weeks but I need a bit of downtime so I will be taking that first.
In the process of converting this site, I wrote over 40 php scripts so now I am quite familiar with the language and am enjoying having a chunk of my work automated. However, for those parts which weren’t, I have accidentally deleted and recreated many html files in the last two weeks so if you see a mistake, please feel free to point it out.
That’s it for today. Pithy thoughts coming tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing pictures of your new “neighbourhood”. It was my home for about a year (1989/90) and your pictures made me rather homesick.
Absolutely amazing! I love the thumbnail idea! Keep going, you’re on a roll!
