So, just now I have realized something. Today is July 16th which means July 26th is coming up in a week.

What's July 26th?

Unhealthy Obsession's anniversary!

This July 26th will mark Unhealthy Obsession's 2nd anniversary. Last year I redesigned the website for celebrating. I can assure you that I'm not redesigning the website again this year. But this has made me begin to wonder. What do I do this year? Anything? Is this really that big of a deal?

I should think so! This is my first website after all. Sure it may still be small even after two years, but we have grown nonetheless. I'm proud of what I've accomplished.

And then it hits me! Just now as I write this. I know what I'm going to do this year for Unhealthy Obsession. It could ultimately fail. But then again, it might go somewhere. I started working on this project of mine about 2 o'clock in the morning yesterday and have been working on it quite vigorously all day today. An... [Read More]

I have just realized something on the forum. The FIF Team member group had access to all the hidden boards of the forum. THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE!. Mind you that these boards are private for a reason. And some of the stuff was NOT to be public. And this was ENTIRELY my fault.

I'm not sure what all you guys read, if anything. But I'll just let you know that during the first year this forum was started, I struggled with a few things. I wanted a big forum fast. Over the past year I have learned a lot. A lot of wisdom in running a website, I have gained much patients when dealing with people, and have come to realize that if I had what I wanted by having a big active forum, I wouldn't know what to do. I still wouldn't know what to do. And that's why I'm growing along with my forum.

I worked heard in getting what I wanted instead of stopping and looking at what I had. I talked a lot and probably said and did things I shouldn't have. And I apologize to a lot of... [Read More]

So I pretty much love this blog right now. I absolutely love SMF. It has such great features. It serves to us a website, and blog, and, what's it's meant for, a forum. So (sorry Garry!), how did I do? With a little knowledge of SMF's SSI function, anything is possible!

Lets start where I started. I made the structure of the blog with HTML, of course. From there I slapped in the PHP include for the SSI. Then I used my loverly script that I found on the Simple Machines website somewhere (I use this everywhere when making threads post to a website). Here's the code:

[code]
<?php

// Some variables. Change these to test this script
$boards = 88; // Boards to use >> 6, 69
$number = 3; // Number of items to return
$length = 1000; // Return this number of characters, followed by "...".

// Get the news
$news_items = ssi_boardNews($boards, $number, null, $length, 'array'); // array(boards), number of items, item to start at,... [Read More]
