I have spent another entire day coding. I can hardly remember back to some of the projects I started and completed earlier today. It seems like forever ago. Again, much of the work I did was on the backend. I went through and cleaned up nearly every function used by the weblog system and administration tools to be consistent and have good error checking. I guess it’s a few thousand lines of code in all. In addition to that stuff, there’s a lot of new functionality:

  • TrackBacks have been fully tested and implemented, including Auto-Discovery via permalinks (so if you use Movable Type and have Auto-Discovery enabled, when you post an entry that includes a link to one of my posts, your Movable Type will automagically send me a TrackBack ping)
  • I created a little navigation bar for the archive page, so you can easily go from one post to the ones before and after it. Once I wrote the code for that, I decided to turn it into a function and implement the same navigation bar on the comment and trackback pages.
  • the archive page now displays the post, comments and trackbacks all at once so you don’t need to go to three different pages to see them all.
  • changed the code for displaying posts so that the main page and the archive page uses the same function so they are consistent
  • updated/fixed a million other things that I can no longer remember because I’ve spent way too many hours in a row typing php code.

It’s time for me to take a nap.
