Progress!!

Finally, some headway has been made. Text posts are trimmed down to the most relevant. Excerpts are removed from all posts, and the <more> tag is used almost everywhere. Also, unified the text styling. (Do you like the drop caps?)

The big part of this project is updating all of the image posts. There were images that were not titled or only had file names as titles. Tags were completely absent on most of the images. And all of the images lacked decent thumbnails. All-in-all, 515 pictures had to be updated individually. Now I have questions about which gallery method to use: NextGen Gallery or Website’s Galleries options. Both are compelling.

Oh, and I have the new design in place. Still a little uncertain if this is the final. I may decide to use the same layout, but add color to it. Simple enough to try. For the time being, it will work. Now to prepare for a long weekend with the girlfriend.

“Did he die?”

No little children, Uncle Ted has not died. I have just been very, very, very neglectful. Strange Hungers has been a pet project of mine since the late Nineties. That’s right. This is an old site and of late a lot of new projects, distractions, and general disinterest have drug my attention from this site.

My humble apologies. I know that I have lost a lot of readers (my mom among them), but I aim to get them back.
