Front page articles

Changed something on the front page so that only the first paragraph of an article is shown properly.

Adding Pictures III

Fixed a small bug where a thumbnail of a larger image was never added to an article. Stupid, stupid bug.

Buttons

The buttons on the left are now not longer images which have to be loaded every time. I'm using the free version of Typekit.com allowing me to use sexy fonts on my website.

Monkeytroops

I fixed some long standing things that I never quite got around to fixing. I left them inactive to all users because I found it to be no priority and not essential for the site to function.

It was the concept of 'monkeytroops' where you can make some sort of address book of the monkeys you like and send them messages. The will be able to view those messages in their own monkeymailbox.

So I made a great advancement towards that. No idea when it will be finished, though: very busy with... Whatchamacallit... Life.

Wait spinner

I fixed yet another bug in the image selecting routine and made a new animation (a so-called spinner) to play while the contents of the RSS-feed is retrieved from the external source.

Here it is in all its glory:

Editing Articles

Made some improvements to the article editing section.

Now I don't have to select the thumbnail to each picture. And now I can delete articles at will.

Adding Pictures II

Updated the admin section in order to make it easier for me to add pictures to an article. It can now select pictures that are uploaded to the server but are not being used in any article. I should probably be using Ajax to make it work in a pretty way, but it works for now for me.

Adding Pictures

Fixed a stupid bug which was obviously introduced when I was working on the embedding of Youtube videos. It wouldn't let me add pictures to any article anymore.

Fixed the positioning and sizing of Youtube videos.

Currently I'm exploring the use of Mootools with some features of this site. It looks promising but the documentation is too sparse for my liking. Will have to experiment a lot before I even let it near my site.

Pix

Finally the 'Pix' section has been updated to look more appealing. But there's more to come!

It's not the length that counts

Changed the routine which builds the article overview on the frontpage. The articles are now all the same length.
