Uploader Fixed

It’s up again – now with a nice little php script that password protects it. So yeah… Nothing else to say. You put the username and password in and use the uploader. If you have access to it, consider yourself special. Don’t forget to log out by clicking the button on the upper right corner of the uploader, especially if you are on public computers. (*cough school cough*)

Now it’s time for me to watch the Superbowl. W00t.

Edit: The script is a little funky in Internet Explorer (If you press the back button you will get a “page can not be displayed” message. To correct, just go to the main uploaderr page and log in again. Firefox keeps you logged in). How may times do I tell you children to use Firefox?? IE stinks. Oh yeah – make sure cookies are enabled. If the cookies are blocked, you’re not getting in…

Uploader Down Again

The uploader will be offline until I can write a good php password protection script to prevent the abuse that’s been occurring… I can’t put a .htpwd on the directory, because then images remotely loaded on my forums or other forums will then nag for a password. For instance, you can be on another site, but if an image was in my password protected folder, then it would ask for a Portfolioso.com password on another site – and that’s not fair. (If you don’t get what I’m saying, then forget it.) All you need to know is that I will have a simple php authentication script (aka password login box). That should do the trick.

Edit: I got the php script working. Now it’s a matter of matching the layout and adding last minute fixes.

More Site Maintainence

I updated some more stuff. I’ll start out with the boring stuff no one cares about. I got rid of a lot of useless html for my layout. Instead of having a style tag for each page, I just made one css stylesheet and made all the pages use that. It saves a lot of junk on each page and cleans it up nicely. The site will look the same

And now for the good part. I liked the links page so much that I updated the image gallery page using the same format (minus the thumbnails). The gallery was boring and had dumb text links. The image gallery itself is the same, but the main page is in the pretty new format. People are getting confused though. Just because the box highlights on mouseover does not mean it’s a link. You need to click on the actual word to use the link.

New Links Page

The old links page was extremely plain and boring so I changed the layout a little to make it better. It was a pain and took a while, but was worth it. This new page has thumbnails of the other sites’ logos (if they have one) and there is a nice on-mouseover color changer, all located neatly within a table. As usual, the links are the same and they are all good ones, so check them out.
