I got the index-redirect to work, though I will continue to hope that Invite lets me set an index.php instead.

The dropcap CSS trick works, but I need to tinker with the spacing and alignment parameters. It looks a bit off in Mozilla/NS6+, and it looks way off in IE6. The beauty of using CSS, though, is that once I fix it, all of the journal entries that use it will look good automagically. Go stylesheets!

Yes, I’m going to do a better “logo banner” include section. I had to do something, right? Give me a few days in which to play with Photoshop/Fireworks/Gimp and I’ll do this place up nicely.

I haven’t decided on which other Channels I’m going to create. I’m probably going to add in Work, and I think I’m also going to add a couple of Media channels so I can do reviews. (I’m going to salvage my book review from the old journal database, dammit!)

Oh, and I’ll figure out someplace to put my name. If you’re reading this, it’s probably because I told you to… but eventually I’m going to have visitors who don’t know who the hell I am. (And once they’ve left, they still won’t! Muahaha! Er. Ahem.) I’m trying to think of a non-cheesy way of doing so, which probably means I’m going to spend some time websurfing so I can rip off somebody else’s cool technique. Viva la Web, baby.

All this and more, just as soon as I get through today’s festivities: Gaming with Ben, Legend Of The Rangers in the evening. It’s a good day.

What do you know, it works!

Yes, that’s right, I’m back in the saddle again. I know I originally hoped to recover the material from the old journal on Zero, but I’ve had a change of heart: A lot of that stuff wasn’t the kind of thing I want to stare at again any time soon. Pain, much pain.

Next steps: Fix index.html to go directly to the journal page, do color changes to the journal config file, add some graphics, add in the rest of the channels. And probably some other stuff too, but those are the biggies.

IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!
