![]() Version 6.0Ī new server deserved a new site, so as soon as I signed up for the new host in August 2005, I began work on a new site. Toward the end, pics made their way back to the site after being removed in v4.0. I again used BBEdit, with layout accomplished by CSS floats. While I did intent to finish the site, I instead became side tracked into outright moving from iBlog, and spent most spare time preparing for the move and writing Version 6 instead. In fact, most site pages said only “Comming soon” (Note that “coming” was spelled wrong). ![]() The blog made it up, along with place holders for most site pages, but never any content on the site. Though I accomplished my goal of getting the site and blog to match, the site was never finished. The plain white was wonderful on the site, but blogs really need sidebars for navigation, and that just wouldn’t be possible with this template. Since the very plain format of the site just wouldn’t work for the blog, it would need to be changed again. I learned as much as I could about editing the iBlog template files, and set out. In March of 2005, I decided the blog and site should look more similar. It was dubbed hooji 1.0, but is version 4 of the site. It was a plain white with bright colors, stories and pics were now in the blog, and there was no sidebar on the site. Version 4.0Īfter playing with v3b4 and b5 for a few months, I began implementing some of the changes outlined for b5 in October 2004. This move resulted in V3 never having a “final” version, all 5 were betas. I liked it, but was tiring of V3 consisting of endless betas, so it was never publicly released and mostly rolled over to V4. Again, a hand coded, ground up rewrite using BBEdit. Some sections, such as Stories and Pics would be moved to the blog to further streamline the site. ![]() Version 3.0 beta 5Īfter v3b4 being kinda ugly and too flashy, I decided maybe a very plain, simple page, with no sidebar, and some nice bright category images would be better. It was planned to become final on May 27, 2004, but do to looking rather crappy it was a permanent beta. A try to hide my lack of content with eye candy. CSS and JS were planned to be included, and I even tried to put an RSS feed from the blog on then front page. In March 2004, armed with the lessons from betas 1-3, I began work on v3b4, a showcase of all I knew. The v3 series was hand coded from scratch, using no previous code. Though they were early versions of v3, some features were used for v2.5. I also played with the idea of dual sidebars. I used BBEdit again, but CSS absolute positioning for layout of 2 of these betas, and tables for the third. The underlaying point behind them was to bring CSS to the site and prove I could hand write the entire thing from scratch. The first 3 betas were trial and error, playing with different things I had learned at Delta College in my various classes and from past versions of the site. Version 3.0 betas 1, 2, and 3Īlso during February of 2004 while working on v2.5, I decided that while the upgrade was nice a more thorough rewrite was about due. From the user’s perspective, it actually looks identical to 2.1 but functioned a bit faster. In February of 2004, I decided that the file structure of the site was rather poor and unorganized, so cleaned it all up while also removing the last bits of GoLive code. Also, much of the “wasteful” GoLive code was stripped away, as I was now using BBEdit for site building. v2.1 upgraded 2.0 with a JS created header, footer, and sidebar, and added the library, system, and stories sections. In January of 2004, I was learning JavaScript and decided it would be a good idea to use it on the site, so I did. Built using GoLive but now with tables for layout and featuring actual content for the first time rather than just a pretty layout to host a couple photos. Version 2.0īy September 2003 I decided the website was really sucking, so I rebuilt it. The initial iBlog blog was completely different looking from the website, something I rather hated and would plague me for 2 years (until v5.0). Built using Adobe GoLive with frames for layout.Ībout midway through 1.0, I moved from Blogger to iBlog, that like the website was hosted through my. Originally, it was planned to be hosted in my geocities webspace, but I decided since I was paying for. ![]() Version 1.0Īfter I started to blog in May 2003, I found the need for a website, and by June I created Nick’s Rants to host pictures for the blog (at the time on Blogger). Hosted on my PowerMacintosh 7600 when we had internet service and were capable of running a web server from home. ![]()
