Cat on the lap and the code is working, I think?
Well, I’m slowly working on it, but the discography page is coming together… See, to let you in a little on the whole “behind the scenes” aspect of things?
I’m trying to install a Perl/CGI script called WideXL. Why? For the reason that if someone’s downloading an album of mine, I’d like to know who’s doing so. Not as much so I have e-mail addresses later on, but just so I have a better sort of tracking idea than the standard “X downloads” that I can get from my Webalyzer stats through cPanel. And also with having e-mail addresses that way, whenever I release a new album, I could very easily just e-mail everyone who downloaded a prior album and they could then come on in and download the new albums without having to worry too much about checking back often.
So finally my admin panel is working on the script that I installed, but for some reason or another, I’m having issues with the links working. It’s a small little thing, and something I’m sure I’ll figure out soon enough as is. Until then, I have two of the zip files online on my site, and I’ll be slowly working on packaging others over these next few days, and I’ll have everything “good to go” by the 31st, I believe.
Until then, though, I did put a neat little thing on there. I added a PayPal Button like this one:
for people who want to bypass the B.S. of putting in their e-mail address for each and every download. Yeah, it’s a bit of a bribe, but to chip a few bucks my way and get all of the downloads would help out this poor college boy/webmaster, and the cat on his lap could get a nice wet food dinner. The Wooster cat on my lap would like that, I know. Yes, yes he would.
So would Cassie, but she’s at my feed, curled up in a ball.
