jimmypribble.com v.1.5
Joy of joys, I’m up late tonight working on the latest version of the site and listening to tranceportal.org’s Trance Tuesday, which is a three hour mix of glorious trance music podcast every Tuesday. Free. Three hours of free music once a week. Plus most of the 25 podcasts are archived on transportal.org, which is 60+ hours of music! Mrs. Pribble and I have long been legitimate, now purchasing our online music through iTunes, but I have continued to swipe electronica from eMule because of its limited availability through legitimate channels and because of the difficulties in finding the specific music I want. I’m in ecstasy!
Listening to this music makes me want go out right now (midnight), find an underground after-hours club, drop some methylenedioxymethamphetamine, and then dance it off for hours until the sun comes up. The only problem with that plan is that I’m already a little sleepy, I haven’t done drugs in years (and besides, X causes severe long-term depression and I don’t need any more help with that), I wouldn’t even begin to know where to go to find an underground club, and I’m almost 40 years old, so you know - inappropriate. I guess I’ll just keep working on the site and I’ll listen to more of this music tomorrow, when I’m on the treadmill. Love to dance, though - love to dance.
Anyway, the biggest change in the website is that I will now be using WordPress blogging software for my blog, rather than coding each page by hand. This will make posting and archiving much easier and it will allow comments and other features that my earlier blog didn’t have. I’m still trying to decide if I should use WordPress to manage all of the pages in my site, or just the blog. In the meantime, I am trying to get the blog page to integrate properly into the site. The site looks fine on Internet Explorer, but looks terrible in Firefox. Graphically, I haven’t done much different with the site. I moved the menu bar so that it is easier to read. Otherwise, I am still stuck on the same black, white, grey, and red color scheme, which I think can do no wrong on the web (or in print). Maybe the v.2.0. will look different. Frankly, I think it’s more important that I write more content and the main change in the site should make it easier for me to do that.
