Why’d ya stop

Sunday, January 15th, 2006 | Uncategorized

I suppose it was probably just a fluke that a bunch of people went and posted questions on my ask-a-smartass page, but so many happened all at once. I was really thinking it was going to continue.

In doing some testing I discovered that the form on that page was not correctly posting website addresses etc.. so I fixed that. You can now use the page to shamelessly promote your own website url (fyi: probably nobody will click it, but the more links to your own site that other popular sites have the higher your search engine page rank is).

Yes it is still showing in an annoying order where you need to scroll down to see new posts, so it’s hard to see new posts however I am working on changing the output to atom (syndicated feed), so that I can tell the feed to insert on the page in a different order.

Spoiler: I am working on that and a few other things to basically remake this website. When I am done the entire site will be a customizable web 2.0 ajax based page. This will “bring back” the use of this page as “the ultimate start page” instead of just being a videogame hub.

Good times, keep asking questions, feel free to lie about your name and ask different types of questions, just make them ones that I can give interesting answers to.

Well, i’m not sure what it is that’s making it stop, but for me the format of the “ask a smartass” page just looks…wrong. i can’t read the text without highlighting it, and only the first three questions asked are on the page. :(

nevermind. your new format just doesn’t fit with my settings it seems. there are scroll buttons within the scroll buttons that i must find to read the rest of the questions. :(

but i still have to highlight the text.

hmm, yeah i saw that one one computer but not my own… i have been unable to pinpoint why it’s not loading the stylesheet right on those machines

that is NOT the new format, new format doesn’t exist yet!
