Just Let It Flow!

It’s been literally years I’ve been working on this site. I’ve literally rode the wheel around and around several times on this. The site has been released with basic functionality needed for the site to grow. As the weeks continue to pass, I am going to be adding functionality to it. Some of those being: commenting, messaging, icons, contests, and activities.

I now need to work on the promotion of the website, touch the design up a tad bit, and get a more official logo.

If anyone reading this can help, please feel free to comment.

Now, that the site is done, I have more projects to work on. Though, one has jumped into the mix, ahead of all others. I will update when I complete that one as well.

This year has had its ups and its downs. Needless to say, it was just another year. People coming up with New Year’s resolutions, that probably won’t last for more than the first month, if two weeks. This brings me on to the next subject. I don’t have a New Year’s resolution, however, I do have goals that I would like to meet/achieve by the end of this year. They go as follows:

• Be employed by a company/corporation doing web development.
• Finish projects on time.
• Receive some sort of certification.
• Learn a new development language.

My goals, to me, seem reasonable and worth attempting to do.

Now on with the next subject at hand. I currently have some projects in the works.

1. Babetemplates.com - This site has been under development for sometime now and is long overdue. It has been constantly thrown on the back burner. The designer has lost ideas for the site, and has come to what he calls a “designer block”. The coding for the site is next to none. We plan on making it a wallpaper site as long as a ‘reference’ to find ‘babe’ pictures.
2. Poetrycircle.net - This site too, has been under development for ages. It was almost complete at one time, but then lost the time to complete it. The domain is roughly 4 years old. I have a great designer who has made a design for the site. I have coded it and it is using Smarty Template Engine. I have few things left to do on the site. It is functional — has registration, login, logout, add/edit/delete poems, and view poems. I plan on adding a few more features to it before I release it to the public.
3. MyStorytime.net - I mentioned this website in a previous blog. I haven’t touched the code for this in a while and as a matter of fact, it has become buried (not good). I’m going to dig it up eventually and complete it. Most of the code is done for this site as well, I just need to integrate it.
4. Oceanempires.com - This website/domain is an Open Source project. It is planned out to be a text based online game. Visit www.oceanempires.com to read the design document and to visit the office SF.net page.

These projects are currently marked ‘todo’, by me. I will post status on these as time goes on.

To begin, I haven’t posted anything in a while, simply because I have had no updates.  My partner that works on BabeTemplates.com with me, has went out of town, so the development has been put on hold for a week or so.

MyStorytime.net is almost complete with development.  The idea is from the founder of HackThisSite.org and Hulla-Balloo.com, Jeremy Hammond.  I worked on the ‘Storytime’ idea with him, however, I was a novice developer at the time and the website’s coding was poor.  I was given the okay to re-develop the idea and make a domain for it.

I am beginning a new project on BabeTemplates.com. The site is a graphic community with the work being focused on women. BabeTemplates.com once consisted of approximately 1,500+ members, with little to no promoting. Though, due to lack of time, I (creator/founder), let the site slowly die.
The goal of the website is to attract members with like interests, whom will help the community grow by bringing other members and creating unique designs for the site.

The backend of the website is going to be developed in a PHP/MySQL environment. I will be integrating the forums (VBulletin), into the main site. The coding of the website is pretty straight forward. A file upload system will be needed so that users can upload their work for approval. An administration panel will be created to approve or deny the submitted work. Searching of the database will be allowed, to look for a specific ‘babe’.

I’ve been up since Sunday, July 23rd, 6:00PM EST.

I am one tired man,

Goodnight.
