Colors

PostDateIcon March 7, 2010 - 10:02pm | PostAuthorIcon wilson

Please excuse the messy color scheme on the page.  I'm in the process of changing it to something cleaner, but in addition to there being lots of intricate details in the CSS file and images I have to recolor, I'm also nearing the end of the quarter (which translates to a sudden burst of due dates), so it might take a while to tune them all to the same frequency.  Thanks!

PS:  I still haven't forgotten about my Projects page.  I plan on uploading the functional projects up there as soon as possible.  Only two more weeks until spring break!

Lightbox, Thickbox, Madness

PostDateIcon February 11, 2010 - 1:30am | PostAuthorIcon wilson

Drupal makes a simple thing such as organizing images extremely difficult. Their modules are a nightmare to work with; so many compatibility issues and problems with UI. Together, this soup of disorganization--which includes poor documentation--is keeping me from implementing Lightbox2 or Thickbox, and I give up.  This should be simple. The most complicated thing that should happen is that I need to type in ref="lighbox" somewhere, and that should work for my images.

Feed-a-Burnin'

PostDateIcon February 6, 2010 - 3:21pm | PostAuthorIcon wilson

I'm using Feedburner now (completely for the stats) so please subscribe to the right!  Otherwise I have no problem with the regular .rss/.xml that gets generated.  So far it's a bit confusing to me how it generally works.  I added my other blogs to FeedBurner too, but I don't think it's counting existing readers for those.  I'm almost certain I have at least one existing reader for my other blogs, but it's not showing up.  Maybe I don't have any readers for that one, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.  I also can't seem to burn just the "icam120" tag using the FeedBurner Drupal module, which is a shame, cuz I know that I have readers for that one since my professor told everyone to subscribe to every student's blog.  Ah well, not that important I guess.

Updated Projects

PostDateIcon January 24, 2010 - 10:51pm | PostAuthorIcon wilson

I added some content to my projects page.  So far it's just text description and some screen shots.  Actual links are on the way.  Additionally, I cleaned up my posts; it's now differentiated between blog and story.  This is a story.  Stories will be be strictly about my website--updates, etc.  It goes on the main page only.  Blog posts go under the posts tab.  Blog posts will be for everything else, personal and scholastic, or both at the same time.  I was questioning my organizational skills and why I had the exact same content on two different tabs.  Laying things out blindly typically leads to disorganization.

Post Numero Uno

PostDateIcon January 10, 2010 - 1:44am | PostAuthorIcon wilson

My first post/update with my new design (finally done in Drupal like I said I would do). The learning process was incredibly tedious. It took me a while to realize that Drupal isn't exactly a design tool per se, but a CMS--which I also had to learn about before I could understand how Drupal works. In a nutshell, by using Drupal, my entire website's data gets organized through Drupal's core, and by using the really crappy UI which made up a bulk of the learning, I can maintain my website much easier than having to publish an individual page through Dreamweaver or something.
