Another small item ticked off the list

One of the to-dos on my site redesign was to allow readers with JavaScript-enabled browsers to read book and movie reviews in place while allowing those without to click straight through to the blog archive page with the review. Win-win. Got that one last week.

However, what about readers with JavaScript turned on who want a real URL where they can come back and read the review again, directly? All the way down the food chain where the review gets pulled out of the Blogger database I don’t know that I have access to the necessary information. Maybe yes, maybe no, but too hard to drill in through OPC (other people’s code) and figure it out. So added a new page, singlepost.php, which calls into the same retrieval function as the review pages and gets (a ha!) the post text AND the post (book or movie) title. Et voila, to be fancy about it.

Still a few more edges to sand down but the finish line for this rev of the site is coming into view.
