I’m finally done switching over my website. I don’t know why I say ‘finally’ though, it barely took a day. All my content is back up on the main dvondrake.com, and everything is actually using the same URLs since MistCMS is awesome. Okay, that had nothing to do with it, it was just a handy coincidence. That doesn’t mean MistCMS isn’t awesome though–by all means, it is. I tried making something similar to the design on dvondrake.com right now with horizontal menu links in other CMS scripts, and it just never worked. A lot of them were like Wordpress where you have a PHP file for the header, one for the sidebar, one for the footer, etc… Wordpress is great, but just for blogs; not for sites. However, MistCMS was created for sites, so it is therefor better at sites. Did that make sense?
I added a few new things today like visitor logs, a hidden drafts folder, RSS feeds, and dynamic metatags. Of course I also had a lot of bugs to fix, mainly with MistCode. MistCode is like BBCode, but it allows you to do different things like showing the post date or inputting metatag keywords. Don’t worry, you’ll find out more when all the bugs are ironed out and MistCMS is released. However, it looks pretty stable now. I had some problems earlier when you put quotes inside text boxes, but I fixed that pretty easily. Right now I’m just making sure that everything displays properly now, since I’ve added escape characters for quotes and whatnot. The XHTML validator doesn’t like <p> tags for some reason, and the RSS validator gives me a couple warnings, but other than that everything’s running A-OK. Looks great and works perfectly in both IE and Firefox.
Nothing to say about real life stuff, as all I’ve been doing lately is coding again. I’m sure my life is exciting enough for me to list everything I ate today, though. Well, it all started out with a donut…
