Pulling It All Together
Today (July 7, 2026) is the first day for my new website here at Mike's Writings. I intend to add my stories and those of other members. I also intend to cover news stories that are important, such as the Top Story of the day.
Someone said something about the domain name I selected. The thing is, and you will know this if you have ever tried to pick a domain name. You can never get the one you want. You have to end up choosing something that isn't even close to what you originally wanted. And that is cause all of them are already taken. But when you enter the domain name's URL, which is already taken, in the browser address bar, there is never anything on the site. How long are the domain names that people buy and let expire just sitting around? Something in that regard needs to change.
I am using a Content Management System (CMS) I designed to build this website. HomePage is flexible, easy to use, and comes with easy editing features that the admin can use. I plan on offering it for download later this year, but for now I am combing through it to find any errors. Making minor tweaks and adding them to this site as I go. I'll make updates here as I go.
Updates:
-- Added the comments box to the index page.
-- Redesigned the theme preview page.
-- Fixed the registration not sending out activation emails.
-- Built a new theme "The Lake" and set it as the default.
