I've no excuse now.

Hi,

after following Ciber's advice, I now have an rss agregator. I haven't got everyone's blogs on there yet, but will have in the next hour or so.. if they are suported of course. Min-Data, Blogger etc. are fine, as is blogware.. but for some reason blog-city is a few months behind??

I've also put my Haloscan comments feed on there as well, so I won't miss a reply there now. I'll have to read up on how to implement it for my sites. I have a feeling that I may have to rewrite Liamsworld for that. That's okay though; I've had the domain for about 3-4 months now and really need to develop it soon. Unlike other sites that I've built, that have a fair bit of thought into the design, but little content, my own site suffers from the reverse.

It's not exactly packed with galleries yet, but there are some in there, plus the makings of an educational game. I'm sort of getting there.. just need a full day to really get stuck in to it. I haven't put much in the way of explanation into it yet, but it's basically drag and drop spelling for kiddies.. or anyone in the second year of their 3* McDonalds degree in food preparation. It needs some new tiles knocking up (they're all my own work) for blends as well. A friend at the club is a teacher's assistant at the local primary school and has said that when finished (or a close approximation) that she'd test it out on her charges. I'd also like it to read out the letters eventually, as they're dragged. That's going to get complicated though.. we'll see.

At some point it will also include some sort of basic numeric games.. counting apples and stuff, adding the contents of one pile of stuff to another pile of stuff; that sort of thing.

I'll be doing something with the gallery presentation as well. I haven't taken enough good quality pictures yet, but when I do, I'll have to sort them into categories etc.

Right.. I'd better finish loading up the rss feeds.. I just noticed that on my browser (Avant) that there is a drop down for feeds. So I had an agregator all along so it seems. Still, I like the one I downloaded, so I'll stick with that for now. To Ciber, SEF or whoever.. what's the feed url for the comments on Min-Data? I get a flag that a comment has been added, by the post going bold, and a count being added, but I have to go back to the site to read it. If this bit of the post dissapears soon, it's because I've found it. :D

Cheers

Liam

Edit: I've added NatSci to it, so I can keep up with that now SEF. And unlike the site, I get the pictures via rss, so have now seen them. :)
