FeedsMore Site Upgrades
Jul/11/2004 09:14 PM
Have been working on more site upgrades recently. Nothing real big, but I do have a WAP version of this site almost finished, so if your cell phone is WAP enabled, you can browse here no matter where you are. I actually started to write the templates for the WAP page myself, had to learn WML first. But after starting, I decided to search around and see if anybody else had already done this. Sure enough, I did find some site that had pre-made WAP templates. I have them on this site already and if you want to try out a beta version, you can point your cell phones browser to wap.cbulock.com. Right now, some pages are generating fine, but other pages are not rendering correctly. I haven't nailed down exactly what is causing this as I only know basic WML (I have spent maybe like two hours with the code), so, it looks fine to me, but there is likely something that I am not catching yet. I am testing the pages on my Nokia 3650 and my wife's Motorola v300.
I think I might go back to finishing up my own WAP templates for this page, instead of using these other templates that I found since I think the way I was going to do it was a little more how I wanted it, and if I write up the code, it will be easier for me to fix any issues that come up.
The other update that I added is the random picture that shows up on the side of the page here. It will display a random picture from Hailey's photo album.
I also added a page that give info on this site. The about this site page will also give a look at what I plan to add in the future.

Hey Cameron, Nice to see ya at Celebration! Mike and I watched King Arthur (cheesy, don't see it) and Farenheight 911. I've more on my blog. I just want to say that I like what you're doing with the site, and mine is going through a restructuring as well. As soon as I can get the world population plugin to work, i'll work on adding some features and deleting others. I am currently working on the damage that the site took when it decided to get garbled into unreadable code from outer space. I would like to maybe make the code W3C friendly, but I do not know how to do this. I'm thinking of aranging the elements on my site differently, perhaps putting the picture up on the heading. Perhaps if I find a way to scroll the RSS headlines from your site and others I might put them below the quotes. This would be a good way to save space without deleting features. Any suggestions just email or comment on the site.
