dragoness_eI finally got back to overhauling my website--it's only been about 6-7 years since I touched it. For the interested, here's the temporary location of the new site: http://www.republicofnewhome.org/lair3/
The only new pages so far are the home page and the Transformers Fanfics page. The rest is "In Progress" and has links to the old versions of the pages so you can find the content.
After poking at Wordpress for a year or so, I decided that the blog/CMS was overkill for what I wanted to do. PHP templates, in the form of SMARTY, turned out to allow the right balance of "I want to hack HTML code" and "I want to automate the repetitive bits".
I got to hack PHP code, too, and that's all good clean fun.
Anyway, take a look, let me know what works and doesn't--keeping in mind that the above two pages are the only new ones. So far. Will be updating as I make progress.
