Tags! (and other news)

Ok, so I have been working on "tagging" everything on my site sort of like flickr and gmail tags things. It's nicer for searching/browsing my site. For instance if I want to find a bunch of stuff about Kevi, I check out the Kevi tag or for skating I can check out the skating tag. I also made my tags page look sort of like flickr's popular tags page. The more of a certain item there is, the bigger the text. Rule. Obviously there are a lot of pictures with me in them on this site, ha.

In addition to tagging I used mod rewrite to make all my URLS nicer. Instead of links like /?pictures&album=77&pic=1172 they are now like like /photos/tech-n9ne-and-richs-26th/1172/. It's much prettier... for me anyway. The only problem is that this broke all of my articles that link to pictures. I've got a lot of fixing to do... hopefully I can write a script.

This might be annoying, but I also changed the rss feeds. The latest news one is now at /rss/news/ and I added a latest photos one at /rss/photos/

So in other big news, Friday Josh and Jolene had a kid. His name is Keagan Douglas Lueck. Though maybe it should have been Kuegan Lueck for consistancy, ha. So yeah, congrats to him. ALSO, my shed is almost done, haha... yeah right.

Oh, and let me know if you find broken things...
another cool thing is search engines will now be able to pickup and handle your pages.



cuz the urls make sense
right. that is one reason that desmoinesalive is doing good ;)

actually i took the webcam home to do a little timelapse video of me building the shed. it's really crappy quality, but it might be kind of cool when i'm done.



so in a week or so my webcam should be back up.
