Redesign In Progress

by Ryan Parman • February 13, 2004 • Website • 6 comments

I’m sick of it. Some people really like the design of this site. I do too, really, but I want something more. I want to be a LION TAMER! I’ve been significantly inspired by a variety of designs lately, and I think I’m going to attempt to take my favorite elements of a few different [...]


RSS/Atom Feed Changes

by Ryan Parman • February 12, 2004 • Software, Syndication, Technology, Website • No comments

After doing some thinking and such, I’ve made some decisions about my syndication feeds. From now on, RSS 0.91 and RSS 1.0 feeds will contain summary posts, and the RSS 2.0 feed will contain full posts. That way, people can pick and choose which they want. My Atom feed contains both. It’s pretty simple, I [...]


Tweaking My RSS/Atom Feed Reader

by Ryan Parman • February 11, 2004 • Code, Syndication, Technology, Website • No comments

I spent about five hours last night playing with my RSS Reader. I think I’m beginning to get the hang of some of this PHP stuff. Anyways, I’ve made some tweaks here and there to make iot a bit more friendly. The first thing I did was make it more error-friendly. If someone mistypes a [...]


New (To Me) Blogs and RSS/Atom Support

by Ryan Parman • January 13, 2004 • Syndication, Technology, Website • 1 comments

I’ve added some more sites to the Blogs I Read section lately. With how many sites I follow, I should really rename it to “Blogs I Scan”, but I still read more than I scan. On top of that, some aren’t even blogs. They’re news sites. Oh well. Most of them are read in heavy [...]


Kindly Reload

by Ryan Parman • January 9, 2004 • Code, Website • 3 comments

I rewrote parts of Paul Sowden’s Stylesheet Switcher about a year ago to support media types, and to utilize my own cookie functions instead. At one point, this site had multiple styles. Now, it does again. You can switch between the Winter style (the one that’s been here since the beginning of December), or you [...]


Websites of 2003

by Ryan Parman • January 3, 2004 • Website • 7 comments

2003 seems to have been a big year for the web design community… or, at least it seems that way to me. Many of the websites that I read regularly, as well as learn the most from have all come about in 2003. All-in-all, I’d say that this was a good year. Now, I don’t [...]


Woo-Hoo!

by Ryan Parman • January 2, 2004 • Website • 3 comments

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m back up again! For those who aren’t aware, my Movable Type installation wouldn’t rebuild at all, therefore making updates nearly impossible. After an all-out fight with my web host (who wouldn’t check anything for me, and then outright deleted my support request), and several emails from helpful readers, I’ve finally got [...]


Movable Type Problems

by Ryan Parman • December 18, 2003 • Website • 1 comments

My Movable Type installation seems to have broken. I can’t rebuild anything without getting a 500 error, and nobody can post any comments either. I’ve posted for help on the MT support forums, but to no avail. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Has anybody got the answer? I won’t be able to [...]
