The Nation Takes Flight

My little side project has turned into more of a daily thing now that the hockey season is underway. The site is built using a CMS that was built almost entirely by me the only thing that I used outside help on was the registration/login script because the one I had written originally was not complex enough for what I required and I did not have the time to go back and rewrite it to fit my needs. So I went on the hunt for a little help and I found something that I could implent into my exisiting script to achieve the result I was looking for.

Each page on PensNation is built dynamically from a database, and most if not all are what you call search engine friendly, with different titles and descriptions that are dynamic to the content of the page. The previous load time issue has been taken care of since the flash header was phased out and the database was cleaned up from the mess that was created during the build. There has also been numerous new features added throughout the site. Now the only thing to finish on the site is the members, the area is currently 75% done at the moment, I hope to have this completed by no later than Thanksgiving. But in all I think the site itself is coming together rather nicely.

It's Been Awhile

Well it has been awhile since my last post, mainly because something with my chryp installation on the site had been messed up along the way and I had not had any free time to work on fixing the problem. As far as I can tell whatever the problem was it has been fixed after the re-install.

 

So back to what I have been working on. PensNation is starting to take off there has been a redesigned layout since my last update on the subject. The new layout is more efficient and more easy to add and remove sections of any page. I have also completed some mock-up logos for the local bar Milestone.

These have been submitted to the owner and I am just waiting on a response and some feed back from him.
