OK, I got the bugs out of the new software (most of them, anyway). There's still a couple of ugly pages, but that's my fault and not the programmer's. I'm fixing them as I spot them (you'd be surprised at how many there are).
So, what have I been babbling about, you ask?
Our links page is now database driven. A powerful mySQL backend, the same type that drives this forum, now will let us store and categorize our favorite bookmarks for everyone to share.
More than just a link storage page, it allows descriptions (requires, in fact), continually checks for dead links and duplicate links, has password-protected access to individual links (so only the owner can update them), and eventually will even be tied in with this forum to unlock a bunch of other features that I currently have disabled.
So, why should you care? We need your bookmarks. All your relevant bookmarks, that is. Take some time and put in your favorite sites (don't forget an accurate description). If you can't figure out which category they go in, put them in misc. and I'll move them.
If nothing else, at least put in your own website (assuming you have one, and you should by now).
Got some extra time? Hit Yahoo or Google and pick a category you think would be handy for us and start inputting them.
I'd also like input on more categories and anything else you think would improve how things work. And be sure to tell me if you spot a bug
