Code Frenzy

So I have finally finished my TravelBlog . Well, as much as it will probably ever be finished anyway. There are probably a few ‘niceties’ that I could have added (such as an RSS feed or commenting… or a calendar that actually lets you navigate months and years… oh dear, this is sounding worse and worse…).

But anyway, it MUST be finished because I am going on holiday TOMORROW and I’m not doing anything else on it. Really. I’m not.

Its taken me a while to do but I have added most of the things that I said I still wanted to do. Now I can have named users on the site, a login section, adding, editting and deleting articles for logged-in users (with extracts even)! And the best part is the photo upload / management / viewing side of it. When writing an article, you can upload photos and they will be resized to fit the page and a little thumbnail will be created. They are displayed underneath the article. And of course there is the management of these photos… but I’m sure thats enough detail

I’m not sure if writing it from scratch was the best idea but it sure did give me heaps of flexibility in terms of what functionality I wanted. The whole interaction with the Google Map is quite neat, and the photo management thing works like I want it. But as I’ve said, it took a fair bit of work to get it to this stage (many late nights) which can lead to some not-feeling-that-great-at-work type days…

So, I probably won’t be adding any articles to this blog for a while but I will hopefully be keeping my travelblog quite up to date
