The Rebirth of the Site

Who would have thought that the hardest thing to do on this site was going to be the "Weblog is alive once more" entry. Felocity is back with a new logo, new engine underneath it all (ExpressionEngine), and lots of ante-upping PHP. The process has been a long one, mostly due to having only 15-20 minutes here and there to dedicate to the task. Hopefully, at this point it's bug free, but you never know.

It's also worth a mention that my Gaia Profile also got a style upgrade to match. Between the two, graphically, I've had my hands full. Thankfully, Expression Engine made the transition on the website side much easier with its MT-esque syntax. Add to that the ability to use raw PHP in the templates, and it was very easy to build out the content areas as needed. Perhaps the most interesting thing I found in all of the EE things was the ability to mix my PHP tags with my EE code.

The above example is a great way of showing how PHP and EE can work together. In this case, it rotates through 3-4 different blocks of content which appear on the front page. With a week or more between blog updates, but constant links and photos coming in, it keeps things lively around here.

On my remaining tasks are updating my feed links, doing a pass or two in Opera, and bringing everything up to speed.
