Just want to appologize for being so scarce lately, but i'm working on a surprise.
As has been suggested, the profiles on the board could be so much more. I'd personally like to see the ability to add photos and more detailed stats and info about a person, and it has been suggested that I add the ability to search profiles on location.
I've been furiously learning php and mysql so I can make these modifications. To get myself to the level of being able to do that, i've set out on another project that is starting to come together and is closely related.
I'm converting the exhibitionist section of un-der-wear.com into a more dynamic area that will eventually include a database, the ability to sort through profiles, and the ability to upload pics. I'm actually making a lot of progress.
(beware - this is getting technical...)
To do all this, I needed to turn my home computer into a server. I've installed apache, php and mysql and now I can use my home computer to develop all this stuff.
With that accomplished, I started the actual programming tonight and now have the database structure up, and the pages are being created dynamically from the info in the database.
In case you don't know why this is important - once done, this will save me tons of time. As it goes right now, I have to take all the submitted pics and resize them, rename them, create thumbnails, then code each individual gallery page by hand. With this new system, all I'll have to do is drop the images in a directory and use an admin page to enter the model's data - and that's it, the script will organize and generate the pages automatically.
Once I get that running, I want to add the ability for users to add their own pics and data, saving me even more time.
ok, it's late and i'm going to bed now.....just one more thing...
i'm really not a geek. really.
