More Hacking

Did some more hacking around just now.

I pretty much finished the top navigational bar. As you can see it now has a ‘Home’ link before the ‘Blog’ one. In fact, you’ll probably have been greeted by the placeholder telling you to go here!
I’ve moved the blog to http://blog.gonewacko.com/, so be sure to update your bookmarks if you only want to check my blog.

The top ‘navbar’ as I’ve dubbed it, is actually generated by a tiny php script that gets all the links from a database. This way I don’t have to go through too much fuss if I want to add new pages (or sections, as I’ve started calling them, to distinguish them from wordpress ‘pages’).
I’m still thinking of a good way to make it highlight the ‘active’ page, but this is not really a high priority task.

So, what’s planned for the site?
Firstly, the ‘About Me’ page will probably be moved to it’s own section.
I will also make the suggested portfolio section, with a list of things I’ve made or worked on; Possibly with the option of click for more detailed information.
I also plan to perhaps do some longer rantings or columns, if you will, every now and then, when I have stuff to whine about or if I have things I want to give my opinion on. I’m not sure if I’ll actually do that, though, because I don’t know if I’d actually be good enough at writing anything worthwhile.

I’m still open for suggestions and feedback
