And here’s the site. As the result of a first fix.

Look, I’m not a developer. Don’t know if I ever will be. It fascinates me and I can write code, but in my desire to do things right, I find development projects take a huge seat, and sometimes camp out, in the back of the line. However, this pays no attention to the all-to-often longer lines of things I want to do that are held up by them. Also, in keeping this as simple and concise as possible I’ll plainly state.

For my own reasons, I don’t like a website structure to be right up front. Or “in the root”, as many would call it. I like to look at my sites like my servers and clients. Modularized and Organizable. Who knows if in 5 months I want this to be the front of Putmeinamovie.com so I want to be able to move things at the drop of a hat.

Being old school, mainly due to skipping a lot of class, I was unfamiliar with any type of redirecting other than html. I also know that that type of redirecting is one of the worst sins as it is used in many rings as a way to get you to spam.  This brings me to the problem I fixed today. As I have been wanting to build on this blog and expirement, this problem road blocked me because I KNEW it was wrong, so I did not move forward with it until I knew I had the time. This led me to learning about the 301 redirect and an awesome site that explains it.

Now, through the use of .htaccess, I can quickly and efficiently control the flow of my site as it changes without any real requirements by my hosting company and/or server software. And now, I can move forward.

I have to take out the comments.

This was basically born out of a few things. Mainly my mentor’s request and comment that I have a lot going on in life that he things people would love to hear/read about. Secondly, I got a lot of ideaz yo!

Anyway, There are a few things about me that will speak through this site.

  1. I will manually modify everything, and probably post about it.
  2. I hate this WYSIWYG Editor. I mean DBLSpacing by default? Huh?
  3. This place is completely under construction.

I plan to be fun about this. It should be interesting. Lets see if I stick with it.

First order of business is taking it live. Time to move directories. Used to use a refresh .html redirector that would work and redirect viewers to this site. Then I could move and organize my site, however, it no longer supports IE7.  I think that will be my first challenge.
