Conversion to Database-Driven Site Complete
12/6/2004
I have recently finished converting the entire site to a php database driven site. I am very excited about this change, because it brings several advantages. First of all, I will be able to update the layout instantly, because there are only two html files that load the pages on the site. It also means I can update more often, and it means that the site will always have the most up-to-date data. Before I converted the site, I relied on a variety of methods to upload my files, which lead to not always being able to upload the most recent version of a page. This led to a few errors on some pages, which have now been fixed. The site should also be much faster, because it only loads part of the html once. Most importantly, the site now uses a fluid width, so it will fill your browser window no matter what your resolution. Also, you will notice the links have changed to php links, but the old links will still work, so don’t worry about that. Look for some new additions to the site in the coming weeks!
