Wesley's Tool-Box

In the old Tool-Box website, I had LinkExchange ads placed. That was sort of okay, but it didn't do much and was pain to manage. So in this new Tool-Box website, I'm trying Google ads. I'm hoping this one's better.

I'm trying two types of shapes here. Since the main page is long, I put a tall banner on the right. In each of the entry page, it's not typically as long, so I put a wide banner on the top.

Serendipity does not support 'top' or 'bottom' sidebar, so I made a plug-in so that you can put HTML nuggets on the top of the entry page. I call it HTML Nugget on Page Top plug-in. It should appear on the SourceForge CVS as serendipity_event_topnugget soon. This plug-in enabled me to put the banner ad as an HTML nugget so it appears on the top of an entry.

I have edited the MySQL, phpBB, and s9y installation method slightly to reflect a more secure way of doing it.

After giving some thoughts, I bit the bullet and instead of using that 'wes.mine.nu' as the base domain of the website and having 'Tool-Box.info' redirecting to it, the 'Tool-Box.info' is now the base domain itself. This service cost some money, but I thought it would be worth the trouble.

What happens at the moment is that http://wes.mine.nu/ and http://tool-box.info/ both connects to the same location. However, I had previously configured http://tool-box.info/ to redirect to http://wes.mine.nu/blog/ which goes to the blog site (yes, this place). http://wes.mine.nu/ had a test page set up that I had created in a minute to test out the DDNS connection and it didn't make any sense anymore. So basically, you would need to connect to http://tool-box.info/blog/ to see this place instead of http://tool-box.info/ because you would end up with the test page instead.

But that doesn't look as good as before, right?

Since I'm too lazy to set up a new 'front page' for the site, I have now configured the server so that connecting to http://tool-box.info/ will be exactly like connecting to http://tool-box.info/blog/ .

You don't have to remember a new URL. Yay!

Now, I will be deprecating the 'wes.mine.nu' domain in a few days, so if you had any URL linked from my site, now is the time to update to the 'tool-box.info' domain.

Static page plugin on my blog was having problems... seems to be fixed now. Sorry for the minor inconvenience while I was trying various settings to try overcome it.

The much awaited 10.4.2 update is here... Hope it fixes a bunch.
