The Joys of Code

Finally said, "what the hell", repressed the bug (which is waning) and some recent financial stress, and started slapping together some content for the Trawler. Still haven't written the recs for X-files or West Wing (though I have the titles), so those fandoms just won't be mentioned on the first page. Later updates can add those categories back again...it's not hard.

There is nothing so aggravating as text that refuses to display as you want it too. I've just spent 5 minutes scratching my head as to why everything is in bold.

There is nothing more exhilarating than finally fixing it. I finally discovered a faulty closing tag, with the "/" in the wrong place and nearly let out a whoop of exultation.

...of course, now I'm not crazy about the font we're using, but at least content is starting to appear on the page!

ase can edit everything to her hearts content (and I hope she does). I'm just glad to get text on screen.

Anyone know the etiquette of informing writers that you've recced their work?

It's Done!

The Fic Trawler Mk 1.0 is up!

I need to make a few more comments on ase's HP recs, she'll hopefully add some thoughts to my Buffy and Angel recs, the authors we've recced all need to be notified and the other pages are all woefully bare, but at least we've got something for people to actually surf.

Next step (besides everything I've just mentioned) is to get this puppy registered on various search engines, etc.

In other news, watching the Simpson's tribute to fairy tales:

Bart (examining three bowls of porridge): Too hot! Too cold! (looks at third bowl) Well, this doesn't take a genius. (pours cold porridge into hot porridge, chows down).

Really clever. ;-)

OTOH, watching Homer accidentally scalp Rapunzel while trying to climb her hair isn't nearly as funny since something similar happened to my old high school drama director. ::wince::

Argh!

For some reason my computer thought it was tomorrow...so I fixed it...but I did so during an lj update...so now the last two entries are completely Fubared, in re: being displayed on various friends' pages. I'd like to apologize to everyone for the double posting. Trying to backdate and pre-date things just made it worse.

...some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed, it really doesn't.
