First test of blog posting system
Posted by Michael Dale on Fri, 13 Aug 2004 12:01 AMOkay. Josh recommended that I split the two news on each page. This page will be for rants etc and the other page will just be for general site news.
I had problems porting my news posting system over to this page. Now I don't know if you remember ( http://forums.dalegroup.net/viewtopic.php?t=1266 ). But I was talking about how you can't send cookies after you have sent information. Well I do infact sent cookies after I send information. I just didn't know it! :S
This command here:
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
This not only gzips the site but it also turns on output buffering meaning that I can send cookies after I've sent info to the browser. The reason I had problems was because I didn't add that line to this page.
Mmmmm oh well. Shall look into it.
Oh and with this site, there is no emailing for news entries or comments. I could do that but it would take more coding. Although I have a 5 day weekend so I might. ;)
Sweet. It looks... nice. A little too black. And Maddox's comments about staring at a lightbulb aren't actually correct, I'll elaborate more later.
One other thing. The "BBCode" instructions to the right of the comments form are uber munted... well, not uber munted, but... misaligned.
You need to start writing phatt blog posts. And setup an RSS feed already!
