I'm actually digging this minimalistic look a little....
This skin is designed for use with photoblogs, which mine sort of is, but I like the idea of users interacting with other users and so I feel a need to add some things on the side to aide in this. An ajax shoutbox would be nice.....
I'm upgrading the site folks, so things may look a little weird for a bit but I'm working on it. Gotta get my old skin and a few plugins working again.
There is now a shoutbox to your right, underneath the "Who's Online?" section. Now you can attempt to communicate with other users visiting the site at the same time you are, something I've always wanted to have available. It's not all AJAXy like I wanted, but it'll do for now.
Keep it clean folks and try not to abuse it, it does still have a blacklist, and i'll use it if I have to.
Sorry about the downtime in the wee hours of this morning. Damn corrupt tables. Problem is fixed now......and while I'm doing a site related post, please direct your attention to addition of the weather widget to the left. I'm still working on adding a tagcloud, and the return of the shoutbox which so many of you enjoyed. Keep your eyes open.
Server upgrades:
So yeah the site backend has been upgraded with greater functionality, but it killed my skin, so I'm using one of the defaults for the time being. Hopefully tonight I get everything back to normal. Wish me luck.
Edit: Fixed the skin related issues.
In lue of the post below, I'm going to start doing more beverage reviews as I have always been one to try out new ones. Anything for the caffeine. I have added a new category to accommodate this and a new section in the gallery as well. So expect new things soon.
I figured out how to fix it without losing anything, and the site seems to be happy now. It dropped a couple of tables in the process of freaking out over not having any space. Luckily it was only the linkblog table to the right and the antispam table. I managed to rebuild those two tables and now we're all good. This is only a semi-permanent fix in that the database is going to have to be moved to a drive with more space, as I only managed to free up a gig or so, and in that I'd still like to move to another backend. I'm thinking Wordpress, but I haven't really decided yet. Suggestions are welcome. As an added bonus, I can now continue making posts!
I've run out of space on my webserver, literally 0 bytes free. So I'm likely going to backup the posts, convert them to a new backend, and completely redo the server. Don't know when the site is going to be back up, may take a while, so the new posts I have planned are going to have to wait. This sadly means the St. Patrick's Day party pics are going to have to wait as well. Sorry for the inconvenience folks.
