Wezzul.com - It's the Dinglez

So it's been a while, right?

I've done some re-design on the site, as far as the navigation goes. The drop downs were one of my huge problems with the site, and I fixed it. At first, I was unclear as to how to make the sidebar work with css. That is because I am a moron. It was an easy fix, and works well now, in my opinion. I also made some changes to the .htaccess file, allowing for some better looking direct links into individual posts. That should allow for some better indexing of the content by the search engines, and also, keywords will now point to the actual post they reference instead of just going to the default main index. After attending the Webmaster World Conference in Boston, I realized that moving away from query strings would be easy, and allows for pages to be much more indexable. On that same note, the conference provided alot of hints as to optimizing content for search ranking. I'll be working on that in the near future.

Things are getting better in IE. Not great, but better. Comments still don't work in IE. However, the page looks alot better now. Different theme / css there. Since imagemagick on my new server does not seem to recognize the channel RGBA (which makes NO sense), the newest title image is fucked up over there. I'll find a fix for that relatively easy I think.

Anyone that knows me knows of my love for the local baseball team, the Detroit Tigers. Well, they have been on a tear as of late, winning six straight and now being tied for first in the AL Central. This is pretty exciting, especially because of the first round exit by the Red Wings. I'd love to see the Tigers turn in a good season, and perhaps compete for a wild card spot. We'll see how it turns out, but my hopes are high right now.

The weather has been outstanding lately which means disc golf has been going on with some frequency. I currently stand at 3-5 for the season series with Seabass. I am, much like the Tigers, on a winning streak, though, winning the last three games. We found a beautiful course in Northville, which is relatively close to my residence. There is one majestic hole, where the tee is on top of a 150 ft hill, and the distance to the pin is 740ft. Teeing off from up there is just so beautiful, it feels as if you are throwing off the top of the world. This weekend, we have plans to play Kensington as well as perhaps playing Firefighter's park today.

That's all I got for now. Once again, thanks to Jake for hosting this, as well as Mysticaljackass.com , IHateLlamas.com and Dan's blog . I may attempt to write more in the future, get some content up here. But saying that is the death knell for any activity on the site at all.

Edit: Turns out commenting in IE does work. Who'd of thought.
