I made a few changes to the way comments work on the site, not that many people leave comments though. 🙂 In an effort to help prevent Spam comments from getting added to old posts, in addition to the spam software running on the back end, I have decided to close comments on posts older than 14 days. This means that if a post was published more than 14 days in the past the ability to comment on that post will be turned off. In addition I have enabled the use of Gravatar’s for comments, this will allow for people’s gravatars to be displayed if they leave a comment using there gravatar address. Additionally I have enabled nested comments in the event that one commenter replies to another. These changes were also retroactive and have gone back and been applied to all comments on the site. A good post to view to see all of these changes is this one.

Holiday Portraits
Today we went to Sears and had Kylie’s holiday portraits taken. As usual they came out terrific and Kylie did a great job! The pictures are up in the gallery and can be found here. I love that I can get the pictures instantaneously on CD with the copyrights from Sears, so even though we wont have the physical prints for 2 weeks; we already have all the shots from the session. Aren’t digital pictures the greatest?
Just found some more
Pictures that needed to be added into Kylie’s gallery. These can be found in the August 2009 album (08-15-2009 and 08-29-2009) and the October 2009 album (10-12-2009). The ones from the August 29th are the first few of many to come from the day of the Renaissance Festival, these first few happen to be of us having break fast at IHOP before going to the festival. I have no idea when I am going to get to those pictures as the ones I took are still on my camera and I have not even looked at the ones from Melissa’s camera yet (though she has at least gotten hers off her camera). In any event this has been a very productive week in terms of things getting done on the site. Guess I hit some type of web work flourish, it’s been kind of nice…
Two More
Just finished adding two more (older) videos of Kylie to the videos page; they are 2008-12-05 7:21 PM and 2009-01-13 6:57 PM. These are in avi format because I needed to rotate them landscape view to portrait view. They load a little differently than the others, but converting them back to mpg format could result in quality loss, and seeing as they were taken on a cell phone that is already pretty low.
A Few Videos
I added a few older videos tonight and they can be find on the videos page. For simplicity the new ones that got added are:
There are at least 3 others that I have to post as well, but i need to figure out how to rotate a video 90 degrees so they are viewable at the proper angle.
More Pictures
I just added more pictures to Kylie’s Year 5 Gallery. Now all the pictures that I currently have for the month of September are up and ready for viewing. I still have to go through all the pictures we took when we went to the Renaissance Festival (I haven’t even gotten them off the camera yet 🙁 ) I also have some videos to try and upload and some more audio files as well (not necessarily voice mails as now I can record conversations with Kylie too).
Post Time
I finally got around to adding a small tweak that I have been meaning to implement for a long time now; the post time. Now under each post title it shows the time the post was written in addition to the date and the categories that the post was filled under. The rest of the post information (i.e. comments and tags) are still displayed as normal. I should also note that some time ago the post print function moved from the main view and is now only seen on in the individual post page (which is accessible for any post by clicking on the post title).
I Was Really Behind
I am finally getting around to catching up on website related work. New pictures have long been overdue and I discovered that not only do I have new recent photos I have some new ones going all the way back to May! Here are the new pictures that went into Kylie’s Year 4 gallery:
And here are the new pictures that went into Kylie’s Year 5 gallery:
There are still more to come, but I have already been working on this for many hours today. Hopefully I will get the rest up soon, as I also have a few videos to go up as well.
One Year Anniversary
One year ago today Kingspride.org was born in after the idea came to me after coming across the image that is now the header image of this site. A lot has changed behind the scenes in the last year, but most noticably is the layout of the site. The original announcement for the release of the new site from a year ago can be found here. I wonder what the next year will bring?
Videos Page is Up, and some other additions
After many hours of work this weekend I am happy to announce that the videos page is finally up! It can be found along the top navigation section next to the Voice Mails page. I know I have talked about getting this page up for a very long time, and though it is not exactly how I had pictured it, I do like how it turned out.
In addition I also added some messages to the voice mail page. I am hoping to go back through and add details to the voice mails (two already have them) like with the videos, but I honestly don’t know when that will happen.
Also, a few pictures have been added into the gallery, mainly in Kylie’s year 5 album, but also a few others scattered through out as well.
