I got my book database started by gosh. Still having a problem with searching by genre for my page, although I can search that way in phpMyAdmin no problem. Getting it right for a webpage is a bit tricky.

My Books

This is but a drop in the bucket, but I’m off to a good start!

I made that title because well, it’s supposed to be apt and catch the eye, so there it is! I’ve been building a website for a friend in Flash. I know my Flash pretty well, or so I thought but that actionscript can be so tricky. I breathed a sigh of relief today when I got to code in good old html. Felt like returning to an old friend.

This is the second site I made for friends and I know so much more than the first time. Since I solved a huge snag I had today I’m feeling rather proud and thought I’d share them. This was the first one and the very first time I attempted an entire site done in Flash. It’s actually pretty cool, you can import everything in xml files so the owner can update those with images and text without having to own Flash.

This is my latest and it’s incomplete yet but it won’t be long now that I solved the snag I was having. I plan on redoing my site at some point but so many interesting things get in the way. Plus I signed up for the Asp class this term. I expect it to be just as challenging as the php one was. Challenging is good, I love this stuff

Edit: Second site is done and uploaded to his host and working perfectly!

A video tutorial showing how to backup your mysql database. Sandy posted this on her blog so I watched it. Seemed like a good time to back mine up! I’d have done it wrong if not for this, the part about under structure click on add drop table. Easy peasy

After reading this weeks lesson and realizing that I can’t edit the css or use javascript I just had to go for it. So my website might actually be out of commission for a few days. I signed up to have it hosted but then got an email from my registrar saying it was refused because I had a private registration. So I had to cancel that and now am awaiting word that my new host can also reregister it for me. Nothing like deciding to do it on a holiday weekend.
