Blog site is now live!

I'm happy to finally be able to publish this project. It's been a rough couple of weeks putting it together, but I am really happy with it.

Here's a couple of feature that currently working:

  • Social Login - Facebook
  • Submitting contact queries / reviews
  • Author online status
    • See when I'm online, as well as what I'm working on! You'll also be able to get updates as to how much I've done on some aspects, such as word counts for writing!
  • Chat
    • When I'm online, I can also open up a chat session to talk with you wonderful visitors. I may not turn this feature on much while I'm working, but hope to have some regular scheduled chats here and there.
    • Chats can be saved for later review.

There are a couple things that aren't completely working on the site. Here are the few I'm aware of now:

  • Social Login - Google - RESOLVED!
    • Pretty sure this has something to do with a hold Google puts on new accounts, pending a review. This has been submitted and I will continue to follow on this. I know some people think Facebook is the devil (it's hard not to agree) so I want people to have options.
  • Newsletter signup - RESOLVED!
    • The back area is done, I'm finishing up some stuff on my account to get this working.

I do have a couple of additions planned for down the road. I don't think there will be a lot due to the nature of this site, but those additions are:

  • Comments section for articles
  • Social Login - Other  (Any request?)

Thanks for stopping by!
