Two days ago, I had posted of a snag with the future new homepage. Since then, a lot of nothing has happened. Mainly me going “Ugh… should I really go that way?! FUCK!! I need an honest second opinion or this is going to drive me up the wall!”
\nThat and I was also forced to ask around for anyone that knows of a KompoZer replacement. Most of the people had no idea what the hell I was talking about, while some others offered a few suggestions to try out. One was called “Seahorse”, and the other was called “WebPlus Starter Edition”.<\/p>\n
I tried ‘Seahorse’ first, and within 5 minutes, it was uninstalled. Why? This pretty, slidy(yes, that’s a word I totally didn’t make up) program was based around templates. Forced templates. As in, no option to create a blank template. On top of that, it refused to load up a standard .html file. So it went in the trash can.
\nI then “tried” out ‘WebPlus Starter Edition’… more like I said “FUCK YOU!!” to being forced to make an account, JUST to download the damn thing! I HATE websites that do this! It was bad enough for it to ask for my email, and then having to fill out a form, just to download a program… oy. Fuck that. I got too many websites already with all randomized passwords, to remember. I don’t need another.<\/p>\n
So, I’m still stuck with KompoZer. The trusted and true, still working with HTML.. offline visual webpage editor.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I did finally try to use Weebly, but not for the reason of just giving up. It was another reason that I will go over later. It was similar to Seahorse. As in, it had templates. And no way of creating a blank one and playing around with it.
\nAnd now the reason why I was using it. I was on the MRT Server, on my island, in my house, relaxing and thinking about if I should go with Weebly or not. And remembering the nearly forced reason.
\nAnd then something hit me…<\/p>\n
“Wait.. wait… what if instead of Youtube videos, I can take a picture of my video and use it on th— THAT’S IT!!! THAT will solve the error!!! HOLY FUCK THAT’S BRILLIANT!!! \ud83d\ude00 ” I never felt so happy over figuring something out on my own in my life. And this is also a way how they make thumbnails for Youtube videos!<\/p>\n
And so, I did. And it worked as expected! Check out the new and improved homepage! Still cleaning it up, though. But there will be two brand new pages; ‘About’ and ‘Blog Portal’. The ‘About’ page will go over the history of the era of beniesbuilds\/benies-blogs, and the ‘Blog Portal'(which I’m still trying to think of a proper, shit-free design), would have the links and descriptions of all three of my blogs.
\nAnd also, it’ll have a hand-updated news ticker of the latest blog posts of the three blogs. That is, if a ticker still exists that one can put in their website. I haven’t used a news ticker since TheBeaverDam.com.<\/p>\n
Going back to that whole Weebly thing, I wanted an Image Dump (similar to the one that angry had set up on our site when I still had beniesbuilds.com) to put all the images of my videos into. My search results to try to find a free code I can download and use…. nope. So I thought that Weebly might be a good canidate. Then I saw the same thing with Seahorse and was all “fuck that”, then thought of using my semi-old favorite thing that I used as an image dump; tinypic.
\nNo problem whatsoever using it to host my images. So that covers my Image Dump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
