Debating Getting Out of Fanlistings

2 Comments

As I’ve started to putter around fixing up my fanlistings page, I’ve found that almost half of my links are broken, and of those broken fanlistings, many have been simply shut down and not restarted elsewhere. It’s going to be a lot of work to revamp it all, which has made me question the value of keeping a joined fanlistings page in the first place.

I never really got into fanlistings much, not like many of my compatriots in webdesign–I pretty much just hopped on the bandwagon because everyone else did. I don’t host any of my own anymore, and haven’t for years; my fanlistings page is a glorified page of links which I have to keep policing and relinking. But in a way I hate the thought of going through and removing my memberships from all those various sites, and I kinda like having a place to display my favorite things… I just don’t know if I want my list of favorite things to be completely dependent on other webdesigners’ choices to keep their sites alive or not.

I’m going to give this more thought…what do you think?

Sitemap Fixed

In puttering around the site, I realized my sitemap was in BAD need of updating–thus, it is now tidied up! Woot for finally getting around to a random project that’s been probably out of date for about a year. (Snow days make for excellent web productivity days, especially when you’re aggressively avoiding other work)

Removed: MTG Trades Page

Finally got around to removing my MTG trades database–I got tired of trying to make the database script work, and I was no longer interested in trying to maintain it. Hopefully sometime in the future I’ll learn how to make a searchable PHP database, but for now it was more important to tidy up the domain.

As far as I know, I’ve removed all the links to the trades database–if you find a stray one lingering around, leave me a comment 🙂

Slowly Getting Things Ready for Version 14

2 Comments

I’m taking time with this redesign (but don’t I always? LOL)!

One reason this is taking so long is because I’m giving all the mini-sites a new look, similar to what the video games site and the British TV shows site have. (Once their redesigns are complete, I hope to not have to redesign them again for a while…whew!)

The main domain look has been pretty “set” for a while, but I actually might change a few things more before it goes live. I’ve also got to do the news blog look…and then I think (THINK) I’ll be ready to launch V14. Just trying to squish out all the air bubbles and kill all the code bugs first. XD

Busy with Blogging, but Still Here!

If you’ve wondered why there has been a lot of radio silence here at WMW.org, it’s because I’ve been keeping up with my blog, Crooked Glasses. (If you’ve never checked it out, please do so–I write about all kinds of topics, because my personal life is just not that interesting. LOL)

I’ve also been trying to put together many of the little fansites I’ve been promising for over a year. My video game fansite, as well as my Dove fansite and my British TV shows site, are all in various stages of completion. (Actually, I think my Brit-TV site might be almost done…haven’t glanced in the folder in, uh, a while. XD)

Keep up with this page for further updates–I promise you, when a site of mine is actually finished, you’ll hear the whoop of joy from wherever you are in the world. XD
