Alright, I have just finished up the first working version of the administrative side rewrite for my webpage (I am going to disable it after this as there is no security yikes). This has been a project for me the past few weeks as I have used it as a chance to really test the growth I have had with Javascript and programming since the initial writing of this webpage. I have learned a lot about good design and have adopted a number of ideals with version control, software design (this uses a bunch of independent interfaces rather than some messy, hacked together mess), and standards (?). I have a lot more to do (there is no gallery control yet and these posts don’t get tagged) including moving to using markdown for the entry markup rather than my crappy personal one (which means going through and fixing all the old entries that use it). I also want to clean up all the old Django code (which I looked at a few days ago and cringed). I am keeping all this stuff on my github page (the webpage will exist in private for a while as I continue to clean up the security), but I will put two of the modules I wrote for the admin side into public repos, just need to clean out some of the stuff.
I will be moving the backend server to Arch this Friday (I took the day off) so that I can be a bit more active on the server itself (I have become a lot more fluent in Linux since moving to Chicago). I will hopefully write some more now (especially to test some of the new changes). It is getting a bit late right now and I am at a stopping point with all of this working. Maybe I will get a screen shot up of this sometime, or maybe I will move the front facing side to something based on this in the future (this uses ideas I have floated around for a while, I showed Kim, I think she finds it snazzy :P). I have written this post 3 times in testing, but this is my favorite version (probably because I know everything works this time).
