Wezzul.com - It's the Dinglez

O2 News - Wezzul.com
So I finally broke down and wrote something that will accept images sent from a phone, put them in the gallery, and display a random one on the sidebar. Cool I guess...

I added a tag cloud and tags to the site. I like it ok thus far. It may need some tweaking as far as display goes, but I'll get to that eventually...

Eventually...

I just noticed comments are fucked up right now. I fixed it so you can post, but it's ugly. I'll take care of it later/tomorrow.

I am now using mod_rewrite to do a bunch of stuff as far as making nice looking URLs point to pages that would normally have to have a query string. For instance, now, instead of going to something like http://wezzul.com/747/, you can go to http://wezzul.com/General/Festival!-Festival!-SMASH!. This is mostly for the search engines, though a URL without a query string looks a fuck of a lot better than one with one.

Dinglez to that, I'm happy that the site still interests me enough to work on it every so often.

Here are some of the keywords that have been used to access my site recently:

Google:
"caught my wife"
what size should my cock be, I'm 13 years old
azalia ubuntu (about 3 of these a day)
hauppage lirc ubuntu (same)
teh site
corecomm sucks
bear vs shark alia

MSN:
jingle jangle dropkick murphys
seabass cowboy boots
lickmypussy (a lot of times)
beer can size cocks
Flat dog crips
drunk driving leave girl disfigured
prostetics for the homeless
Pregnant Fat Six (my favorite)
fun kids oral fuck
elephant size cocks

No really good ones from Yahoo, but this is just odd. And me typing these out and putting them here should INCREASE MY RANKINGS with these keywords. God, I hope so.

Ok, so I've taken advantage of some Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) to make the site a bit more user friendly, in my opinion. A few of the things I've done:

--Now using XMLHttpRequest to send form data. This allows for form data to be sent easily, using the POST method, without refreshing the page at all.

--Inline post editing. Clearly, this is something that only I see, but now I can edit the posts from the main page without going to some other form. A form opens up where the post was, I can edit it, submit it, and the post is back to where it was before, with it's new content in place.

--Commenting. Users can now comment, and when they do, the comment is automatically inserted below the last comment, in place of the comment field (using the fade anything technique). Not only does this look cool, but it prevents spamming to some degree as the form disappears after one comment is submitted


In addition to those Ajax things, you can see I changed the theme some (I know it emulated Wordpress' Kubrick, but it's not), added a new banner (thanks to Motts at Opacity.us ), and cleaned up the stylesheet for some added effects.

Something on the docket now is to improve the navigation on the left side so that it also uses javascript/ajax, perhaps dropdown menus or something of the like. All in all, I'm much happier with how the site looks/acts now than I was before. Let's see how long it lasts.

Implemented a currently listening to thing. I guess that's pretty cool. I stole the idea from the dreaded Live Journal. I'm not sure I totally like the layout of it yet, but I'll fuck around with it and see what I can get.

Also, I registered mysticaljackass.com . Go check it out, it's a lesson in good web design.

So I implemented a search. It's pretty shoddy right now though. It seems to be secure, but then again, I don't know. I backed up my database as I test it. In any case, it will work as long as you include the full word as it is a mysql FULLTEXT search. If you include partial words, it doesn't do much of shit.

You can read more about mysql fulltext searches here

So this seems to be pretty nice... Imagemagick is the bomb... using the convert script that comes with imagemagick makes it fairly easy to create dynamic text and effect using a php script... here is the imagemagick command:

convert -size 550x60 xc:transparent -font FONTNAME -pointsize 32 -draw "text 15,45 'TEXT'" -channel RGBA -gaussian 0x6 -fill grey -stroke black -draw "text 10,40 'TEXT'" IMAGELOCATION


Sweeeeeettttt

I integrated the photo shit today with this, so it will show up in the main window. Looks pretty nice. Also, thanks to Emily , I added a back/next funtionality in the picture view pop-ups for easy traversal through each album.

Also, I don't know how this looks in IE. I imagine it looks like shit. Fuck IE. Fuck your shitty ass browser. Why don't you use a GOOD browser, eh? Sheesh...

I fixed a few other things.... it's definitely coming along, at any rate...

So, as you can see, I made the changeover to O2... I couldn't stand using that other shit any longer, and I had to switch it.... however, I'm not totally sure how stable this is yet and/or if it has gaping security holes... so if you find something, please email me the problems you found, and let me know that it's not working...

That's all... time for some work on this shit, as the only reason I really switched as it will force development...
