Evolving websites. [Future ] [AA ] [Thoughts ] [Interest ]

I was looking around Talam's site and I got to thinking about what I would like to add to my site. While I would love to do this sometime soon... that isn't really going to be happening now is it?

One of the main things I would like to add is that search bar. I like to randomly look through my post and what not (and I have a decent memory as to what I typed where) but it would help a shit load more if I had that for what I'm thinking about doing.

While this is hardly even a website, I would like to make it a little bit more user friendly. Considering the fact that I will want to talk about something in real life and not know where it is or if I talked about it on here. So I got to thinking, why not have a little button for anime and manga on the top of my page. This is kind of like the "Home" button but it redirects to another page with a list of the anime and manga that I have rambled on about. While it can be done without me, I would rather be there to give an idea as to what the fuck I'm thinking about. Besides, I'm going to be doing a shit load to it, so it's best that I'm actually there to understand how it is done.

I think by the time summer comes around I'll start to make a review for almost every anime that I've watched. It's not like I don't already have a handful of them already, but if you look at my AA account you'll see I've watched quite a bit. Thirty six it would appear.

So, I've gone from a simple blog site, to a slightly more complex one (that of having links), to pictures, and then videos (which is the easiest one to do since it's nothing more than copy and paste), and now I'm looking to add a page that links to other pages... Yay?

I can't wait for this week to end. I only have about three classes (one that I know for sure) to attend to on Monday and Tuesday of next week and then I can sleep and... well, hopefully get my damn phone fixed. It is kind of annoying that we aren't going to be doing anything cool on Thanksgiving (not like I really like the shitty holiday, but I'll miss seeing a bunch of people) and we won't be doing any shopping afterwards either... Which really is a good thing since I can spend fifty bucks on manga (and if I had my way almost a thousand for other things... anime...) and there is supposed to be more of the series that I'm following coming out soon.

I'm supposed to be returning "home" on Tuesday, sometime around five of six depending on traffic and how fast the "Nolan Aunt" drives. After I get "home," the first thing I'm going to do, of course, is to drive to your place. The next day I have an appointment and will need to at least return to Loogootee so it's not like I'll be staying long. But I had this idea: if you two aren't doing anything, why not get a ride form me to Loogootee for Thanksgiving. You can then go to either one of the houses and spend time with the families there (they both are what? two hundred feet away from each other?). It sounds like a great idea and it's up to you. I should be able to take you back to your home the next day. Depends on the game and when you want to go back. We can talk about it more whenever I pop by.


Box codes.

Here is a current list of box codes for you:

     ostbox      ostboxonly !loginbox !searchbox !searchboxfull !searchbar !catlist !catcloud !catbar !catbaronly !twit5

They should all work to some varying degree. I use catbar, postboxonly, twit5, and catlist on my page.

As for linking to pages, the url is http://rooksaves.us/index.html?user=rook;page= title of page

Now lets see if this formats properly or if I am going to have to retype it. :)

I was afraid of that.

Put an exclamation point in front of these words:

postbox postboxonly loginbox searchbox searchboxfull searchbar catlist catcloud catbar catbaronly twit5

And you might want to delete my last post. :)

Damnit

And I wrote a couple wrong...

postonlybox instead of postboxonly

catonlybar instead of catbaronly

searchfullbar instead of searchboxfull

Hehe

Not sure if you got to see your page before I made all the edits to rantfest, but it wasn't pretty. It is much better now. I adjusted it so the box codes won't work in user comments anymore.

Nope...

I was on my way to class when I got the first message. I'll probably still need your help anyways. Thanks though.

I wondered how long it would take for you to read this rant...

Actually

I was debating on calling or posting, wasn't sure which would be easier, then I forgot. It just popped back into my head earlier.
