kaolin fire presents :: news
all the news that's fit me to mention
- 2007-12-15
- Hokay, I didn't mention one revision I did to the site that made it one of the uglies things to look at (really just a coloro scheme change... happened at the same time, roughly, as I made GUD the happy clouds background site instead of the dark oppressive asteroid bullets site... I had to put the dark oppressive asteroid bullets somewhere. ;) Anyway, TODAY I integrated Aaron Ganschow's "Tidy Blog" theme. OMFG it's wonderful. And I finally FINALLY set up all of my crazy amounts of content with some serious rethinking of organization. Hopefully it works for people. Right now, I'm thrilled, even though there's holes all around.

- Gods, has it been this long? Yes, yes it has. The site could really use some real design (still, again, what-have-you). I just added a "feed" to my "outstanding submissions" file to the home page and my writing page. Maybe I'll add a feed to http://thoughts.keenspace.com/, too. Maybe. Some day.

- Split the 'oil paintings' section into three parts, moved all paintings in order of chronology, updated the paintings a bit, simplified the browse display to show all items a bit more quickly. Somewhere in there I updated lots of other bits, rather did a huge revamp, etc. Largely related to things I complained about in my last post. Yay me?
- 09/01/03
- Updated the Art section. Added blurbs about everything, a section about my own artistic history (or, well, yeah, something like that), and... and and and. That took an insane amount of time, and was a bit depressing as I found several pieces that I'd lost the digital originals for. I also cut out a bunch of pieces that I thought were just cluttering it up (weren't representational of my current abilities as I see them), and added a couple I'd somehow overlooked that I thought were particularly good. Still need to make it so you can "post" to the guestbook, and should make the "writing" (stories, poetry) cleaner, have blurbs, ... don't know where to put my comics, if anywhere. And projects REALLY needs to be cleaned out. organized. given a couple more layers. Probably first I should figure out how I want to work my layers (practice in art? fair amount of duplicated code in it, kinda). Also thoughts could maybe use some. Think think thoughts. And "code" should be linked under projects. Of course. Also "experiments" probably. I can't believe how this thing grew out of control.

- Da frames be gone. This thing's finally getting the makeover it needed a long time ago. It deserved. It really, REALLY needed. It's going to take a while, but I started yesterday and I might have figured out a color scheme to stick with for a while. Templating everything through php, as much as I don't like php, just because it's easier to do on my friend's machine than jsp, due to file permissions and other wonkiness.

- This site now requires frames. Sorry, yo. I should do something about that at some point, like give the old index page or something. Ah, hell. I'll at least put all the links back so that the spiders stay fed. Maybe stylesheets will get better enough that I can do the frame-like layout I wanted with stylesheets. Or maybe they already ARE better enough, but I can't get them to work. :/
