I was about two clicks away from scrapping this whole website and going up with a prebuilt package called Typo. I was doing all of my editing in phpMyAdmin before and hating every minute of it, and it made me never want to post. I had Typo set up and everything, and even had the configuration file ready for it to go live on the site here, but something inside stopped me. I can't figure out if it was the fact that I would be giving up on something I believe in so much or the spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, but I couldn't do. Too make a long story short, about 8 hours and 15 commits to subversion later, things were the way I wanted them to be with a full, integrated CMS (I didn't work on it for 8 hours, that would be mad, it was just the time span).
Now that we have that out of the way, on to what's new. I've added tagging into this thing, so now I can keep a little better track of the topics of posts. I'm going to have to go back and add tags for posts of the past, but that should take every bit of five minutes. I've also added a cool tool called Lightbox, which you can test out by clicking here and crossing your fingers. Like I said before, I've added a full CMS, where I can manage everything on this site rather than using yucky phpMyAdmin. Lastly, I added a nice little effect to the "cool" link at the top of the page.
The end.
