Twenty Years!!!

Thu, 08/02/2007 - 9:49am

Fear not, fkfanfic.com will be around for at least the next 9 years:

Domain Name: FKFANFIC.COM
Record expires on 08-Oct-2016 
Record created on 07-Oct-1996

This will make the site 20 years old (wtf?) when I next need to renew the domain

Also, mega happy birthdays to immajer today, who did the original site design and graphics.

JADFE progress update

Wed, 05/23/2007 - 6:56pm

I was able to contact the JADFE archive owner and:

a.  her site is back up

b.  I'm still going to rehost JADFE on www.fkfanfic.com

c.  I've decided to scrap re-doing the pages (frontpage mess) and just move JADFE to Efiction  (in progress)

Now I'm not sure how many stories are missing, as I just figured out that a bunch of the stories were done in frames (ugh).  Which is also why moving to Efiction will be much much better, in addition to allowing new stories to be added.

It's going to take alot of work but it will be a good test of how well the archival software is working

Anyone with JADFE old or new stories that would like to test it out for me, let me know!   Existing stories - your stories will likely get added manually by me but it will help me alot if you can add your own. 

JADFE

It appears the website that was hosting JADFE is no longer available.  If anyone knows how to get in touch with the owner, let me know.

In the meantime, since I have some time and have been working on the fanfic site a little (stuff incoming again!), I've decided to try and host it on www.fkfanfic.com.  Short term, maybe long term so we can have one definite and home spot for it.  I have the room and bandwidth now.

I have a backup copy of the website, but it appears to be missing some stories and files.  If anyone knows who might have a backup of some of the stories, that would help.  The first ones I noticed missing were the LaCroix/Divia ones.

Additionally, the HTML in these pages is horrible (no offense to whomever did them, but Frontpage was used and it does horrid things to HTML code).  Thus, I'm working on updating the pages and making them a tad bit more usable and customizable with a CSS, also a good practice for me, and using Dreamweaver, which I'm going to be using to update the old archive and V4S site, as it is a faster way to update HTML without having to handcode everything..

Unfortunately, I also terribly suck at graphics, but I can at least get a functional website up and working, so thus, I'm gonna try and get this up and working this week.  Anyone who would like to design some graphics, especially a logo, let me know!

Here's a preview of what I'm working on.  The links aren't working yet, but you can see the layout.   When I'm feeling more ambitious, I might redesign it with a database etc. and reformat the stories, as well.  Feedback on colors, readability, etc. welcome.  In the long run, I can add links, history and maybe a way to submit stories, or to add the stories to the new archive once ready.

Let me know what you think!
