Journey into Game Development and Freelance Web Development
I spent the last two days implementing my own blogging framework using the same technologies used to build this website, though before there was no database and now there is. It was a fun little exercise. I'm happy with the initial implementation and it's got enough basics to be deployed and used (by me, initially). Initial features include: functionality for a logged in user to make a blog post (currently I'm the only user), allow a user to delete any post they have made, navigate through all the blog posts, page by page, filter blog posts via author or via tag. Upcoming features: edit a post, subscribe to the blog (get email alerts when a new post is made), make comments on a post, list view of blog posts that just list title and date. I'm sure as I start to use this more, I'll come up with more features that I'd like to have. Or I guess I can look at what other blogging tools do. I'll probably migrate my previous blog posts from another site that documented my game dev experiences just so I can have it all in one place. Feel free to shoot me an email with any comments you have on the blog design itself or the website or the contents of a blog entry.
