TravelBlog – my COMPLETED project! (well, nearly)
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 :)
