A bit of change can be a good thing

Posted on: Mon May 14, 2007 12:52 PM
tags: misc. firefox
I FINALLY got around to integrating the BBCode editing system I'd whipped up a year or so ago into the front end. Now, when I type a new post, instead of having to manually type in the BBCode for bold or italics or any of the other tags I use, I can just click a button and POOF - instant formatting. I'm sure this'll motivate me to post more regularly since I should be able to (theoretically) spend more time on content and less time on typing in all the formatting tags.

The few changes to the front end also accompanied a few changes to the backend. I've recently become a validation Nazi (I coded my work portfolio using valid XHTML 1.1 markup, the strictest of doctypes!), so it brings me great pride to announce that I've eliminated many of the bits of code that were not validating according to the rather lenient XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype. I suppose this is more of a note for myself, since most of you won't notice the changes unless your the kind of person who enjoyes poring over HTML and spotting all the invalid code (or if you have a Firefox extension that does it for you [thanks HTML Validator!]).

There's also a new "Link to me!" page that has HTML or BBCode you can use to link to this site. Look for the link to that page underneath the Affiliates box.

And its come to my attention that a friend of mine is looking for a reason to get my server dugg into the ground; if you have any ideas for worthwhile articles, let me know and I'll get to posting.

And here's a schedule of things to come, subject to change because I'm lazy like that:

1. I FINALLY figured out how to do a proper fluid-height 3-column layout
2. I had the craziest dream involving teleportation and John Candy...its MORE twisted than it seems!
3. Whatever else I can dredge up from my otherwise mundane life

And that reminds me, I need to take more pictures...its a damn shame my life revolves around edu-ma-cation, or else I'd probably be going to myriad parties and cavorting with all calibers of women and SNAPPING ALL SORTS OF PICS OMG LO-[END TRANSMISSION]

The HTML validator is a real processor hog, so I've disabled it. It's nice for debugging though :)

Will there [b]be[/b] BBCode in the comments as well?

i have no clue what you are talking about. so I'm just assuming you said something smart.

@EER: I don't have any plans on allowing for formatting of any kind in comments. I might change that in the future, but right now its not a priority.

@ Kevin: Haha, looks like someone needs to start boning up on his HTML and Web Standards ;)
