Styles 'Done'!

I finally have the styles pretty much how I want them. Everything looks great in Firefox, and if someone only uses IE, it will look fine, and they'll never know it's not exactly how it's supposed to look. ;)

I definitely learned more about making CSS and DIVs do what you actually want them to from getting the site to DIV only layout. So... now the next step is to get more pages added. I also need to get a 'showroom' of sorts set up, since this website IS supposed to eventually be about the work I've done and what I'm working on.

In other news, It is kind of nice to be able to use a blog to update the front page with FeedBurner (see link below), so I will likely be splitting my blog up again into site news and personal, with the personal blog being the one linked to on the comm page, and this one only feeding to the front page. We'll see.

I need to spiff up the look of this feed too, a little bit. Someday.

Fixed

Well, I fixed it by making it put the output as plain text. It's not like the post info really needs to pull that anyways, as it will format from my overall CSS.

Ah... the joys of being a webmaster. I'm sure glad that's not my career!

Scripts

The script that pulls my latest blog entry to my website front page does not appear to be working correctly. How droll.

Site Updated - Other News

I've worked on matching the style of the blog up better with the style of the webpage. There is still something funny going on with the spacing of my divs in Firefox, that I haven't figured out yet. I also updated the Comm page so that I don't have the old link to the guestbook that is no longer there anymore.

In other news, I will post up a recap of the summer in a few days. The Fall quarter starts up in a week and a half (right after Labor Day), so I will likely start mentioning that more.

The Lost Muffins game design team is starting to make real progress again, so look for more information on that in the future as well.

Website Is Back Online

At long last, Crazy Ivan Studios is back online.

Game Team

For those who don't know, the Midwest Regional Design Contest and Fair is coming up in about 3 weeks for 2009. Last year, I won the 3D Animated Short category, with an entry made from my first 3DS Max project. You can see clips of this movie in this compilation:



Well, this year, I am on a team called the Lost Muffins®, and we are making a game called The Pirates of Galactic Proportions®. Our website is now open for the public, and it is located at http://www.lostmuffins.com. Right now, we are working on having a complete level and the core of the game play finished up by the due date. We're doing pretty well and have high hopes, but we'll be continuing on this after the fair, to have a complete game.

Importing Posts

Since it's all working, I'm going to port on in the posts from my first blog too... it'll be GREAT! Now anyone who is so exceedingly bored that they want to read back to 2005... they'll be able to all in one place. I'll bet you're excited.
