Recent News

Things have been rather slow around these parts...

...'cause things have been pretty hectic for me since the start of this term. Will make an effort to update this at least semi-regularly.
Also, I added some new content to the music page. Go look!

OGOD I'VE BEEN HACKED!

DUGGAN, WATCH OUT.
...
If I'm going to leave the hack up, why not make it look nice?

Now with excessive randominity.

Because I had the code lying around, I decided to implement a cycling background. Every hour half hour, you'll be treated with a new background image.
Now, all I need to do is create the background images...

And yes, randominity is actually a word. A neologism, but a word nonetheless.

Also, I fixed a weird glitch that caused the CSS stylesheet not to be loaded. Thanks to Abraham for discovering it.

Wow, a title!

In an attempt to make this page look more like the blog page, I've implemented a way of adding titles to these posts. Had to do a bit of brainstorming to come up with a way to implement it without breaking the existing system I had in place. In the end, it was simple enough: store the titles and the entry content in PHP variables, and get the main page to just echo those. It doesn't break the regular 'include' method I used before, so I'm happy with it.

I just made updating this page MUCH less tedious. To post an update, all I need to do is create a plain text file with the date as the filename. My code automatically generates the heading from the filename, and applies (most of) the correct formatting by itself. The main page, after sorting everything, only displays the four most recent posts (again, determined from the filenames). The rest are hidden away under the 'view older posts' link (which, convieniently, only appears if there are any older posts).
In short, it's MUCH easier than having everything in one large file.

I'm going to attempt making the recent news sidebar feature use the same sort of setup, but I'm not sure how easy that'll be.

Turns out it wasn't that hard after all! :D
