Developments

Yep, I ended up coding the whole Comments section myself!

-=-=-

Disqus would let me export both the databases for the old Blog and GameArchive comment sections, but wouldn't then upload them back!
I spent half of yesterday sifting through the exported data, trying to figure out what comments belonged to which posts, then renumbering all that to match the new database's IDs.
It certainly wasn't a fun experience, but it was a nice enough puzzle to keep my mind active!

Once done, I uploaded all the comments to a fresh database, and then got to work on the output, before finally adding the "Post a comment" stuff, and then working on the Admin functions.

When I think about it, that's a remarkable amount of stuff to have done in just a single day. .. So, knowing my luck, it'll probably explode!!!
Grrr!

Anyway, assuming it doesn't, then you may now safely post your comments, and they'll be added to the permanent AGameAWeek archive, along with all my other gubbins!!

So..
What next?
Well, the sidebar and footer contents are kinda static, right now, and there's a couple of "Some stuff goes in here" boxes that I haven't done anything with, yet.
Time to have a play with those!!!

Recent Comments seems the most likely addition.

Busy busy busy!!

Normal AGameAWeek status will resume shortly. Maybe next week..?!
