Some site Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates, the stupid php image security error locked me out again for a while.

Anyways, I’ve made some changes to the site that I’ve been meaning to make.

First off, I’ve added excerpts to the pages so that it doesn’t take so long to load the homepage. In with all that means that there is a “Read More” link where I choose to cut them off, so you don’t have to scroll through stuff you don’t want to read and the site loads much faster.

I fixed the “Currently Rocking out to” section of the sidebar so it no longer breaks when a band name or song name has a – in it. The band name is no longer bolded but I’m sure you guys can figure out which is which.

I’ve actually put things in my calendar, so you’ll know how to stalk me appropriately. As if Twitter and Facebook updates weren’t enough. Now if I ignore your calls or something you’ll know why.

I’ve added a new section called “Word on the Street”, it parses the latest 15 twitter posts using the hashtag “#Detroit”, so you can see what people are talking about. And for the record, trying to put an RSS feed into a Wordpress page is quite a pain. All the options out there are widgets, which serves me no purpose. When I found something that worked I still had to hack the plugin to get it to work right, but alas, all is well. They link right to the twitter status’, so any links in the tweet themselves don’t work (yet), but it’s a start.

I’m going to start working on some more real content soon, so keep watch for that. Till then, any questions comments or suggestions can be made by contacting me.
