Search broken

Just realised (as of last night) that the search form is actually broken. Who knows, maybe has not been working since I upgraded to v2.63? Will try to resolve it during this weekend. There should not be any problem with the underlying MySQL database, since in editing mode, search is possible.

Spelling

After I was kindly informed, decided to do a spell-check on every entry that has been posted. Well, can’t believe how many errors were unearthed! Hopefully all you can see here is free from spelling mistakes.

Rain or shine?

Added in some real-time weather information on the front page. Implemented in PHP, this was based on the code from cruelacid, with the data pulled from Intercept Vector. Incidentally, there was already an MT plugin which pulled figures from the same Intercept Vector site, as I later discovered after searching on the :mt: Forum. However, it did not suit my needs, hence I needed to make my own modifications. That’s the beauty of using Open Source stuff!

ps. No longer applicable as I am now using :wp: (8/12/2005).

PHP reference

Tonight decided to bite the bullet and ordered the Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL, 2nd Edition from SitePoint. I have enjoyed the style of writing, after reading the (free for download) first 4 chapters. Also, since I have a few PHP+MySQL projects I would like to work on but don’t really have the time to browse all the resources on the internet, this should be a good reference to have. Will post some opinions of this book once I receive it.

Smileys

For the past half hour, have been following the directions given by Jasra so that I can put smileys in my entries, but no luck so far 🙁
