Finch is Magical
For damn near three years I’ve want to do some work on my portfolio site. I don’t want a redesign, I’m pretty happy with the current design. I’ve been meaning to implement comment. I’ve been meaning to completely recode the site, it isn’t very elegant… A week ago I started working on it. Everything started smooth, had comments running in half an hour. Had them just about the way I wanted them a few hours later. And was completely satisfied with them the next morning, sorry no link…
Then I hit a snag. The button to close the comments needed to link from the single post back to the category archive, not exactly a simple task. For a week a tried writing a php function that would do that. I was completely unsuccessful.
Then tonight I took my dog for a walk. I had spent hours trying to figure out how to get the link working, wishing there was a way to add information to a post specific to that post. And that’s when it hit me, as Finch lifted his leg to pee on a tree. The meta tag. Don’t remember why I knew that tag, it’s not a tag used in most wordpress themes, I used it for something specific once. It answered atleast three of the problems I was having… Granted this means editing 193 posts, it was something I was gonna have to do anyway.
I might actually finish the site this week…
