creating a searchable index page so I can get the messy list out of the dropdown menu and make it more user friendly. I sometimes want to look back over things. Can't imagine it will interest anyone else

i find myself browse your blog archives (albeitly just entirely randomly) quite often, actually

I never thought anyone would. I don't like to delete old posts. But what to do with them. Sometimes I want to check when something happened and it's a chore looking for a post. So this is mainly for me. But I'm happy if it gets a wider use. You'll be able to do searches for yourself and EarRat!

Fascinated by implementing search. I'd like to try something similar in the future :-)

@ophanimkei. The page I'm doing is based on the search page I already have for reviews. The problem is modifying it when neocities lags to see the updates, and getting all the information in

Thanks! I’ve taken a brief look at your website (will look more later – I have a lot to get done today!) I love the home movies. I’ve put some up on YouTube, myself. Thought I’d show you one I did when our boys were kids. Nothing to do with our website, but the following is one I put up for our website channel, originally, from when our sons were young. Now on another channel: https://youtu.be/pCdRtCFSH2k

Incredible! As fellow makers of silly movies, we know the time it takes (And with kids? Wow!) balancing fun with ambition. From the writing and musical numbers to the visual effects and convincing acting (Dulcinea rejection scene!) we loved the creativity and heart. Sure is hard growing up. Such a sweet way to preserve a moment in time—something the kids will cherish (or cringe at haha) now. Thanks for sharing!

The cringe factor is strong. The boys are 27 and 25 years old now!

Been fixing up a few things. What happened? You didn’t get a bunch at once did you?

I'm not 100% clear on RSS feed updates being pushed, but I thiiiiink if you change the GUID or if you enter a link address that isn't in the feed already it will send the item as an update

Sorry. I’ve had to delete lines from all my files that call on a specific favicon, so that whatever is in the root directory is used by default. A new thing I learned. So I was looking at RSS because the favicon wasn’t changing in the RSS feeds from what I saw. In doing that I saw that I had a mistake in a line (a missing angle bracket). I fixed it. And then you got mass updated.

I always add a new RSS item after every review. Have you not been receiving updates until this happened?

i haven't noticed any updates from readingproj in a little while, no. maybe the missing bracket was creating a incomplete feed? do you test your feed after an update?

I tested it after updating today and I will in the future. The thing is, the feed was still working on the program I use so I had no idea there was a problem

i use a website that sends RSS updates to an email inbox of my choice as opposed to a feed reader; it's possible that the website i use has stricter guidelines for acceptable feeds that their code will detect and send? but i remember a while back realizing i hadn't seen RSS updates from readingproj in a while and i just figured you had stopped updating the feed intentionally

No. RSS was your gift to me and I update it religiously
