This is the page where I let you all know what's going on with OFP.
Originally, I included personal items on this page. During
the redesign, I haven't been including many updates, and
I've moved ALL of the personal stuff
to its own page. I also
have a blog, now, and some will be included there.
Links have been updated to point to OFPv2 versions of pages.
Please note that some OFPv1 pages have been split into
multiple pages.

It's been a while. My computer died, and it
took a couple of weeks to get a new one, and I'm
STILL trying to get it back up-to-snuff with
everything I used. Meanwhile:

Seems my site gets hit the most on the
infomercial pages. Apparently, there are plenty
of other people out there checking things out
for their family. Then again, a lot of them are
looking for the girls in the infomercials. My
guess is they're looking for nekkid pix of 'em.
Sorry guys... I haven't found any. Now and then
I get a few hits on other pages, but nothing
like those "Flim-Flam" ones! And, apparently,
people thought to check out my blog. Guess I'm
gonna have to update that, too! (It's been a
while.)
That's it for now. -bs

- Changed titles of all Rumors pages - They
used to be numbered, though the page name
used the actual title. I think they make
more sense, now, and I don't have to find

- Worked a while getting the pages to appear
correctly in both IE and Firefox browsers.
(all CSS work). Apparently, still having
problems with SOME of the Print CSS, though
many pages will print correctly.
- Moved OFP1 pages and folders to an OFP1
folder
- Moved OFPv2 pages and folders into the main
domain section and created Google Sitemap.
Tried to get HTACCESS to work correctly to
make sure links to OFP1 pages went to the
correct OFPv2 pages, but couldn't. Created a
sitemap using the OFP1 sitemap, pointing all
links to OFPv2 pages.
- I've added a Site
Help page to explain how defined
words/abbreviations and the glossary work,
what the "new window" buttons mean (and
examples), and about printing OFPv2.
- The last couple of days I've been adding a
Malware FAQ
page,
Computer Security Links and
Example Emails of those I've received
that contained viruses.
|
| 2006/09/29 |
- All pages were finished and published to
OFP2 directory to make sure everything works
right, and to validate all pages.
- 09/29/2006 - All pages were validated to be
4.01 Transitional compliant. (I know they
shouldn't be "transitional" as new design,
but I didn't think about it as I was
designing them, and am leery of
mass-changing the "transitional" header to
"strict", then having the whole thing fail.)
- The Screen and Print CSSes validated,
yesterday, also, except for the InLine
Buttons (on a few pages, right now, so I can
set the text links as opening in the current
window, and the inline buttons will open the
new window). They have been defined using
hacks. I also got warnings about not having
background colors when I defined colors (and
transparent doesn't count as a color!)
Everything else validated.
- Add "Plans"
page.
|
| 2006/09/xx |
- While I'm still working on the rewrite, the
existing OFP pages have all been converted
to the new formats and CSS. I have to
"standardize" many pages, but doing them as
I was converting them was taking too long.
- Still to do:
- Make sure all links use real text, not the
actual link
- Verify the links I didn't as I revamped the
pages.
- Any external link should include the "Off
Site/New Window" button by it, where the
text link uses the current window and the
button opens a new window.
- Define many more terms, and add links for
the ones already defined. (Glossary)
- I did separate many pages from the
originals, which is what took so long... I
had to figure out how I wanted to split
things up. I hope I did a good job.
- THIS is one of the few tables left in the
new site. All other tables have been
converted to DIVs.
- I've spent far too long doing this
conversion, but I hope it makes OFPv2 MUCH
better than OFPv1.

From the prior What's New(s) page:
I'm working on revamping OFP. When I'm done, it may not LOOK
much different, but trust me, it will be. Among the changes:
- Complete rewrite of the CSS and HTML formats
- Use SSIs in place of external Javascripts
- Use INTERNAL Javascripts when necessary (save email from spam, etc.)
Between these two, it SHOULD get rid of the "This site uses
scripts... Click here to allow..." problem.
- Create "sections" - Main, Owner and
Scams, Shams and Flim-Flam sections
- Break some of the longer, more detailed pages down to separate pages
- Create a "print" CSS, using Black & White only,
and not showing the sidebar and linkbars
As you can see, the majority of the changes will be "behind the
scenes", but hopefully it will be easier to find stuff.
Keep an eye out for the changes.

research on many of the stuff in the Scams/Shams and
More Flim-Flams section, as well as making things
easier to read and see. Just a few more pages, and I

redirect people from the old page names to the new
ones... :-\ )

- Found a problem I was having with the Rumors pages "pushing
the right-margin" out past the side of the page. It appears
it has to do with "unbreaking URLS" (no place for them
to wrap), and the way they overflow (the right-side of the page,
especially in tables, blockquotes and lists). This may only be a
problem in certain browsers (like IE), but needs to be addressed.
One way is to only display a "Click Here", a name or
a small picture for the hyperlink, However if it's desirable or
necessary to display the hyperlink, this poses a problem. Another
way (especially for pages like "Rumors", could be to
"source" them, listing them at the end of the page, but
there are some that are long enough, even this would not help.
Solutions? Please let me know! (
). [OFPv2 standard is that all links be
"semantic", most using the actual link's
page title. If they don't have one, I make
it up, drawn from or based on the page,
itself]

- In Mid-to-Late December, 2004, I was asked to redevelop the Lafayette
Church of the Brethren website. Within a few days, I had the new graphics and style
of the site complete, and published it as a subweb of OFP for the clients
to review. Changes at the church and on the server put off actual publication
until recently. Check out www.lafayettecob.org
to see the new site, and OFP Developed/Designed Websites at

(Hosted at GoDaddy.
- Updated splash pages and robot.txts for Say Cheese,

crawlers can't find them.
- OFP - Added
OFP and Family Member Website Links to Link Central.
|
2004/08
thru
2004/10/20 |
- Have been working off-and-on for the past few months
on my sister's new business website. Beginning in late
September, there were problems with the server on which
OFP and the new site were located - hardware problems
started making it crash every few minutes, usually not
even long enough to save the site back to my computer.
The administrator managed to make a copy, then it stayed
on long enough for me to make some major changes to it.
I finally managed to get all the changed pages since the
copy down, and it was installed to GoDaddy's hosting
servers 10/20/2004. Check out
www.saycheesenovelts.com. I think I did a pretty
good job, there. I also created the order forms and all
of the on-site graphics, except the splash-screen.
- The same server was hosting Orange Frog Productions
(OFP), and finally stayed up long enough for me to copy
it all down to my computer. I made a few changes
(following) and moved it to GoDaddy's hosting.
- Updated the Site Map (apparently forgot to do
so, before) with the Opinions/Rants page.
- Changed the Home page.
- Personal stuff. (See
What's
News - Personal Edition):

"&". :-s )
- Added note of site's compliance to CSS and HTML 4.01
standards in page bottom.
|
| 2003/07/16 |

the same for tables in general.
- Move code for Sidebar Button Table into a Javascript.
