Thumbnail Issues

2013-08-24T14:41:00.000-07:00

I am aware that newly-approved sites have issues with their thumbnails. I'm currently working to fix this issue. I apologize for any inconveniences this might cause.

-Edit-
Issue has been fixed, and all thumbnails should be now uploaded and working. Thank you for your patience.

Add to Blogger and Copy to Clipboard

2012-03-03T08:09:00.002-08:00

Adding your blog or site is now made simpler with the addition of the "Add to Blogger" and "Copy to Clipboard" buttons. These should be self explanatory--the "Add to Blogger" button pops-up a new tab or window wherein you can instantly select one of your blogs where the referral code will be added. The "Copy to Clipboard" button is for lazy people who don't want to select the entire code.

Outbound Links Fixed

2012-02-28T18:47:00.000-08:00

Outbound links should now properly redirect to their respective entries, and not just the parent blog. There might be cached pages that still carry the broken links, but they should roll out within the next hour.

Database Problems Fixed

2012-02-27T07:18:00.003-08:00

The database issues should be fixed, at least those that are known. If you find others, please report it to this post. Thank you!

Hits not registering? Clear your cache

2012-02-21T19:04:00.000-08:00

It has come to my attention that some hits do not get registered. It should now be fixed, but the old script might still linger in your cache. Just to be safe, please clear your cache by pressing Ctrl+F5 when refreshing in all modern browsers.

To Do - 2012.02.17

2012-02-17T03:14:00.000-08:00

So, I've gotten all the basic features planned out working. What's next for link.nyo.me? Aside from actually putting it out to the public, I still have the following on my to-do list in a random order:

Facebook / Twitter integration
Yes, this would mean you will be able to register and sign in to the site using your FB / Twitter account. Of course, I'm planning to add this as a layer over the current authentication system, so it shouldn't conflict with what already exists.
Link Exchange SystemThe "what-makes-link.nyo.me-different" from other site directories and link exchanges. This includes building links between sites and scoring (or penalizing) them accordingly. I already have a link checker, so this should be easy to implement. What's preventing me is the lack of participating sites.
Featured SitesThis is actually already in the system—only the view files are missing. I don't want to put it in yet because of the lack of sites.

Hopefully, I'll get this done in the weekend.

Soft Launch

2012-02-16T02:48:00.000-08:00

Finally done with the back-end. I'm now asking some friends to try it out. If you somehow stumbled here, feel free to take part in it:

As always, please report errors by commenting in this post. Thanks!

a in h1 in Navigation

2012-02-09T05:26:00.000-08:00

If you're an avid web designer, you've probably heard about the <h1> as logo vs. main heading debate. I personally take the side of heading. The way I get around it is I wrap the item to the current page in my navigation, which is an unordered list <ul>, with <h1> tags. For visualization:

<ul>

<li><a href="...">Page 1</a></li>

<li><h1>Current Page</h1></li>

<li><a href="...">Page ... and so on, you get the point.

Anyway, I usually don't make my current page an anchor, so it doesn't really present a problem. For link.nyo.me, though, I decided to make it one mainly because I won't be using indexed pagination. However, when I did, the anchor inherited the styles of the other anchors:

I had to explicitly set the styles of h1 a and even make it !important to fix it.

T.I.L.
