12/26/09: New Main Page Updates

Tonight, actually early this morning, I changed a portion of the main page. For a while I have been using the Quack to record changes to my website. Instead of entering these changes on the main page in text, they are now shown through an RSS feed that is using feedburner. This is a service offered by Google that I have added to my website. The new object will show the most recent posts, and cycle through them continually helping to clean up that part of the main page and conserve some space. Over the next few days there will likely continue to be some tweaking. Currently clicking on the object will take you directly to the main page of the blog, showing the most recent blog entry. Now since it's 5AM I'm off to sleep. Merry Christmas!

Travel Map Updated

Finally added something to my website again, and it's an update of the travel map. This addition includes my trip to and from Oklahoma in August and Knoxville in October. Now I'll have to make a trip to Kentucky to clear some holes.

Travel Map Updated

Updated the travel map tonight. I think the only thing that had to be added was the trip to Tennessee. That adds another state to my list, with a visit to Cocke and Sevier counties. Gatlinburg was a really cool town, though granted a bit of a tourist trap. I'll have to post the pics. On the way back, Mary, Caglar, and I took a detour and did some hiking in the Smokies, and drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The mountains were beautiful and the air refreshing compared to the 90 degree heat Columbia has been experiencing. The new map replaced the old one, of the same name (travelmap.gif) and is located in the Maps folder. I'm working on a GIS solution for this which will allow updating to be easier and for me to expand this mapping to a few other projects.

Main Page and About Me Updated

I made a number of edits tonight to the website. The About Me page was revised and updated. I also made changes to the format of the main page, changing the banner, and some font issues below. I still cannot figure out how to get IE to recognize the iframe for the webcams. Firefox is showing them correctly. When I make the next update I will likely move the travel map into the Maps. A few other code changes need to be made. I need to work on standardizing the css tags in a separate file.

the Pictures Updated

Click on the Pictures, it will take you to pictures I've posted that have been collecting on my desktop.

Main Weather Page Update

The main weather page was updated again, this time adding links to other weather pages, and fixing the other temperatures menu. The fourth (bottom) temperature is linked to the menu choice, which was previously extremely small; it is now the same size as the other temperatures.

A few changes....

Made a few edits to the main page of the website tonight. I updated the About me page and loaded it up. Basically it now goes up to this summer. I also rerouted a few things on the main page, such as updates linking to here instead of the update page. I haven't decided if I am going to post something containing the changes I've made since July 2005. I also added color to the recent changes, though that was a minor screw-up from changing a piece of code around a few months back. Also, the default web cam is changed to Mt. Nittany, since the IST cam is currently not working. I hope in the next week to complete all of the other changes I have in mind.

Website Updates

As this is a much easier forum to post changes to currently, and this will become only increasingly linked to my website, I will begin posting changes to my website on here. All changes will be labelled Edits.
