Oops, I Did It Again

SubSite
Become an Ordained Minister NOW...
It's hard ot believe that it's been this long, but it has.

In the fall of 2003, after having lost my job, i sat down and banged out a new set of index pages for subgenius.com. It took a few weeks of plugging away at it, and several attempts at different "looks" and whatnot, but it finally got done.

A few months after that, (maybe six, but i wasn't counting) it ended up on the web, as the new look of subsite.

Well, i got bored again and redid the whole damned thing. The version i'd done back in '03 was not my best work. Actually, it was a "quicky" version that eventually went up. It took me several tries to get anything done with the damned thing, and when i fianlly established what needed to go where, and how much of it needed to change to present a complete index, etc, etc...

I was about to move!

See, i was just about to move to new jersey and had to show something for all those weeks of frustration, so i threw something together that i wasn't totally happy with. But it worked. It replaced several multicoloured, hard to read, mysteriously laid-out pages with a group that all looked the same, and that linked to all the stuff that was most commonly checked up on by regular visitors to the site.

But now, i've managed to sort out all the things that i'd wanted to do, and actually do them right! It took a total of 25 months from start to finish, but i finally got things sorted out to my own satisfaction.

Now i'm just hoping that it meets with the approval of the Rev. Ivan Stang. It's usually his responsibility to update and maintain the thing, so if it turns out that it's not to his liking, it's back to square one.

Here's hoping!
