Empty Cage

After perhaps the greatest battle I have ever had with anything website related I have finally created the second version of Empty Cage, this one actually features an empty cage I would like to point out.

Now you may be asking what it is that makes this perhaps the most difficult coding webdesign job ever, despite the fact that it’s not a far cry from my usual digital fare. I’ve been a fan of the two column divs since they were new and hip. (As they are no longer cool, I here CSS has taken over…) Well the crucial difference lies in two places.

First, it is compatible with Mozilla Firefox which, though many of my others technically are they are all complete flukes. This one I worked HARD for all you Firefoxians, so I demand your love and appreciation. I even sacrified a bit of spacing on the comment box in IE for you!

Second, I integrated WordPress into this layout, while it sounds like a happy jaunt in the park do not let that decieve you. I have never known digital agony like WordPress integration, you’d think it was brain surgery at some points. Maybe I’ll write a tutorial now that I know how its done. I used a combo of four or five tutorials while tearing a WordPress theme apart. Not-bloody-fun-let-me-tell-you!

So, I’m getting my plane ticket tomorrow, which was the real reason I was so anal about getting the blog potion of my website up so quickly. People on my side of the pond will want to witness my exploits I imagine, as well as see the hundreds of pictures I will undoubtedly take. I’m both excited and nervous about the whole thing, it’s such a huge adventure though and I cannot help being overjoyed at the mere thought!

For my websiting, everything will be getting an overhaul, starting with the main page, then moving into Cursed, and followed, most likely by Bloodlust. I hope to get a bit of work done during the delirious phase of having my wisdom teeth torn from my head, I have some new websites in the works because of the revolting ammount of space I have.

Speaking of which, any friends, family or acquaintances who are looking for a sizable chunk of webspace to put a dash of god-only-knows-what on I have I think four subdomains avaliable. So, I can host a few people… and seriously… space is of no concern right now.

Those of you with websites already, let’s link ^_~

In conclusion, I’m actually working on websites now, which is a huge switch from the usual “I’ll get to it… later.” I got through the hard stuff, so now it’s just filling like there’s no tomorrow.
