If you haven’t heard yet, The Return of the King won the Golden Globe last night for Best Dramatic Film. Seen as a precursor to Oscar success, ROTK is looking good. Also winning was Peter Jackson for directing the movie. ROTK also won 2 more awards for best original score in a motion picture and best original song.

WordPress 1.0.1 Miles released
It looks like tonight I might be updating the news script again. WordPress 1.0.1 “Miles” has been released. Time to move on from the release candidate and on to the final version. The update a few days ago required a rebuilding of the index page. This upgrade will hopefully be seemless and trouble free.
Update: WordPress 1.0.1 Miles installed successfully
New Links Page
I’ve changed another portion of the website. The Add a Link page has been changed to a better script. One which is searchable and one I can administer better. Now I can easily stop spam links from showing up on the pages.
New Photo Gallery Online
I’ve changed the photo gallery to a much more featured filled one. This one allows personalized favorites, integration with user accounts on the forum, send image as a post card, voting for images, comments, slideshow and more. The images from the old gallery have all been moved over and there are a few additions.
GeoURL and XFN
I’ve just set my website up to use GeoURL and am looking into adding XFN support for my site as well. GeoURL is a location-to-URL reverse directory. This will allow you to find URLs by their proximity to a given location. Find your neighbor’s blog, perhaps, or the web page of the restaurants near you. While XFN™ (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls have become the fastest growing area of the Web. XFN enables web authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their blogrolls simply by adding a ‘rel’ attribute to their <a href> tags.
WordPress 1.0.1 RC1
Well, I have updated my news script from WordPress 0.72 to 1.0.1 RC1. It took a bit of work to get everything back to it’s original look (at least for the most part it is). I did have to go through each and every post that I’ve put up and fix a few things in almost all of them. Hopefully, I won’t have to do that ever again. I’m looking at changing the photo gallery this weekend. So if it’s missing when you look, you know why.
