This is why programming is cool!

Thanks and a big shout out to Hannes Dorn for his CDir class that gives me a real smooth way to grab a list of the weblog archive files and then I wrote the code to display them in the dropdown list at the top of webLog archive pages.

Another TaaBSO to Phil Ringnalda for his Blogger archive listing scripts that show how to convert the date-based archive filenames to something useful. I’d tell him but there’s no email address across all his great pages!

All in all, I spent about five hours tonight reprogramming the home page and weblog archive pages plus the Blogger templates and I barely noticed the time passing. This was fun. And I’m really looking forward to the new visuals for the site.
