Well, it appears the blog is functioning normally now. Those first few minutes were quite scary. There are a few tweaks to be made here and there (one would be getting permalinks to each article), so keep tight. Hopefully I won’t break the site completely, but given my experience in PHP and MySQL, such a problem cannot be ruled out 😉

First Post!
All right, you got me. This isn’t the first post. But, it is the first in the database, so that must count for something. What I’ve done here is convert my old static HTML blog (oh, the horror) to a fancy, dynamic, sexy PHP/MySQL blog.
I had plans to convert this to my own homegrown news/blog engine, but I was so impressed with WordPress that I decided that for my blog I would use that. I still have plans to create my own “chatty” system, but I wanted to bring my page into the 21st century as soon as possible.
Something else you will notice is that comments are back! Yes, if you want to lament and moan about how drab this page is, you can do that in the comments. I will be changing the style sheets so it more closely resembles something that I actually made, but all that will come in time. Enjoy the site until then 😛
Stuff
Wow, it seems I haven’t actually written something worthwhile on this page for some time now. I’ve been doing a lot of drooling, apparently.
Just to get my UT2K4 info out of the way, the game finally arrived today, so unless something else radical happens, I probably won’t make updates about it anymore 😉
In real life we just got off spring break. I’ve got a few tests coming up next week, so I am getting my studying in every now and again. I am having a tough time keeping up in History, though. I never remember to read the online textbook over the weekend so I am caught up on Mondays. I have two exams to take in that class and a book review due in a few weeks so we’ll just have to ride it out and see how it goes.
In other news, I have drafted plans for how I want this website to work. I started prototyping a few aspects of it. It looks to be quite a chore. It will be PHP+MySQL powered and be pretty flexible, but not overly complicated. It might even look professional ;P Expect to see test versions every now and then as I get further and further along.
Well I am about to crack open my copy of UT2K4. You may not see me for some time.
