I’m going into the studio this Saturday for an hour just to record a few things. I’m still unsure what exactly I’ll record, but I’m thinking it’ll be at least 3 original songs and a couple covers if possible. I’m really looking forward to having people hear the outcome…including me cause I’m curious how it sounds!

Well, I think I’ve sorted out the majority of the music page layout, created a couple playlists, but still need to tweak some settings, etc. If all goes well, this post going into the music section should also be posted on the front page under my Journal.

I haven’t recorded anything in a serious way for quite some time, but I have an hour of studio time planned for December 3rd to allow me to hammer out some rough recordings. Until then, I’ve put two songs in the “Myoldsong” playlist that I recorded roughly 15 years ago! lol They’re both instrumentals by other people with fairly poor recording quality since they were recorded in my basement using an old 4-track.

You can now subscribe so that when I update the site you get an email !

I’ve added commenting abilities to the site now so you should be able to comment on any of the news and see comments from other people. I’ve also added a few preliminary links for Registering and logging in and out. The process needs to be tied into the site a little bit better so that it’s seemless. It’s not really hard to do, but it’s time consuming.

The one thing I’m having issues with is verifying authentication. I have it working fine within the wordpress site itself, but or some reason when I try to use the same exact script on the index.php externally it doesn’t register. The people at the wordpress forums have not only been no help, but they haven’t even tried to help by replying to my posts.

< ?php global $user_ID; get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_ID) {
echo "logged in"; }
else {
echo "logged out"; }
?>

Here’s wishing all of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving to all you USA’rs out there Make sure to stuff yourself full and be merry

Oh and root for the Cowboys!

I was able to get a few things done. I fixed the footers to look better and started to rework the divs (divisions in the pages) a bit since a good portion of them didn’t even have a div name. Also some of them were shared across pages which could easily cause problems if I adjust content later on. With the holiday coming up I’m unsure how much work I’ll get to do on it tonight. I’m in charge of the mashed potatoes, which is quite the responsibility, so I’ll have to spend a good portion of my night working on those.

I feel like I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I don’t mind. It’s a lot of fun and I’m happy I brought up this site.

The site is now up in very beta form. I still have to do a lot of work to get it running the way I would like, but that’s going to take some time to do. No problem there. The site will just improve as time goes by.

Things yet to add:

blog integration: comments, login, logout, register, etc
welcome page: links portion
everywhere: misc alignments on each of the pages
music page: more content
music page: creation of playlists
writing page: blog integration
everywhere: fixing of the footer

That’ll last me a while I think Welcome to my site!

No, this blog page is not the site lol The site is being worked on and is coming along nicely, but there’s a bit more to do, but once completed, this blog will be integrated into the page and will act for posting news and writings, etc.
