Well, I hope everyone's holidays went well. I figured that it's time for me to get in gear. Sorry about the very few updates the last month or so.

I'll be honest, I've not made a great deal of progress on the new site since the last time I updated about it. I've been focusing on Quixotic, work, and the holiday season that was approaching. However in the last few days I've been hacking away it and improving the photo gallery portion of the member profiles.

I know that this doesn't look all that different, but I promise that it is. First off, let me say that I've never been all the happy with the way that I coded them. It was first made using an html form which if you clicked it, it would take you to the correct photo, which is what I wanted, but if you decided that you needed to refresh the page you got that annoying pop-up thing saying that it contained "POST DATA" and "Are you sure yadda yadda yadda..."

Well, now that's gone. I've taken the time to make it work the way that it should. Now, it's like clicking an image and the link taking you to the bigger version of it. It shouldn't have been as difficult as it was to get it to work, but it was and I'm glad I got through it.

Some other things I intend to do with the galleries is to tinker around with some php and dynamically create thumbnails of all the images so they don't look all wonky being resized in the sidebar. That shouldn't be too hard... I hope. Also, I'm going to add comment features to all the pictures, so now you can talk about them.
