Site Updates This Week 
Well, I've been spending some time working on the website lately. Main goal was to get the image attachments to work. What are image attachments? It is a feature that allows me to attach images along with every article I post here converting them to thumbnails so that you can see them easier. You can then click any thumbnail to see the full size image. Very useful to me as I had to host images on external hosts before and then linked to them in my article. If you remember that Dell 2405FPW article, well, I had lost all of my images because their host deleted them. I don't want that to ever happen again, so from now on all images are hosted here.
So, there are three thumbnails per row, with each being 160 pixels wide and 120 pixels high. It should be a reasonable size to see what the image is all about and find out if it's interesting enough to view it in full size. If you're using 'liquid' layout which is wider than default 'ice', you should see 4 thumbnails per row.
There was a little poll added. I had always wanted to be able to receive some feedback on my work. Some people will leave comments, but I needed some better, more general statistics. There are many visitors who don't bother posting comments, yet I still would like to know what they thought of my website's layout, content, etc. Now it is possible with my poll system. It is very simple, uses a set of flat files on its backend, but at the same time features IP checks to prevent multiple votes from the same visitor. However, it wasn't my main concern to prevent you from voting more than once, there are obviously ways around. I simply decided to allow one vote per visitor per day. Another thing is that I would like you to vote before seeing the results as I believe that leads to more accurate data.
Another and last change for now has happened to the comment system. Now the form to leave your comments is that the very bottom of the article, after all other posted comments. It makes more sense I thought as you would probably like to read comments before leaving your own. Right where the comment section starts you will find a link that will bring you directly to the comment form if you don't want to scroll through the rest of comments for whatever reason.
That is about all for now, as always, feel free to let me know what needs to be done for you to like p1x44r.com even better and I promise I will do my best. Also, please be patient with any possible bugs you might encounter. Although I'm pretty certain everything is running smoothly at this point, you never know what I could miss.
