New interface
I think it's all working now. Here's what I've done:
- Changed the front page so that it shows the 12 most recent entries, rather than just the entries for one day. Should make it much much easier to see whether I've updated since last time you looked. (Note that the best URL for the journal is still http://www.kith.org/logos/journal/.)
- Changed the format of dates shown for entries to a more human-readable one.
- Added a set of pop-up menus that let you view the titles of all entries for any day you like, or for an entire month at a time.
- Provided month-at-a-time next and previous links.
- Changed the timestamps of all existing entries so that they reflect Pacific time rather than Eastern.
- Changed the insertion code so that new entries are inserted using Pacific time rather than Eastern.
Here's what I haven't done:
- Re-implemented the show-full-text-of-all-entries-on-one-page feature. I'll probably do that at some point, but it seems less useful now somehow, and I was impatient to get the rest of this stuff in place.
- Cleaned up my CSS stylesheet so bulleted lists and indented text look nice.
- Revised my CSS stylesheet so paragraphs are indented and spaced nicely.
- Provided week-at-a-time navigation. With the number of entries I post these days, that would probably be better than month-at-a-time, but something of a pain to implement, so this may never happen. And I imagine that over time I'll be posting fewer entries per week anyway.
- Cleaned up the underlying code in the insertion-form page (which doesn't affect y'all, obviously).
- Provided options in the insertion-form page to use different time zones as desired (so I could indicate local time wherever I happened to be posting from).
- Gotten rid of the now-unnecessary Date and Time columns in the database.
- Implemented various other secret things I can't tell you about (but that should become clear in due course).
Hope everything works.
