We Have Ignition....
October 20, 2023
It's here! The new site is live! I'm still tweaking here and there - it had a starry background that was hard for me to let go of, and it looked dated, so I pulled out some stops and decided on a solid color, #0b68e1 to be exact. Ironed out a nasty bug that had me perplexed this morning - and I'm sure I'll find more!
I don't know what gets into me to want to redo my website. There was a period of about 10 years when I did not change my graphics set at all - a check in the wayback archive confirmed that. I'll be displaying a history section for this website one of these days - I now have a management tool I built in the background to manage what features I want to develop and a tracker for the same.
I have a site I need to work on for a non profit - so I had to get this off my plate, and I took my time in doing so. I think this is a nice new look for the site. I was able to put it on my local machine to work with it, then get it into a dev environment before I launched it - so I could test stuff I can't test on my local machine (sending email, etc). Then, I made the cut over. The old site still lives at www.21.spacerock.com; I think I'll archive every copy of it going forward. This new site has a new database - stuff from the old one but I revamped a lot of stuff and cleaned out junk I no longer need.
If you are reading this - please drop me a line. I fear no one ever looks at this site except me. I use it for recipe reference, checking my dvds, and uploading fun images for the featured images gallery - which is mirrored at mixedpix.net.
Enjoy!
