And for my next trick: CameronHinkle.com/blog
The exciting news is that while you may be viewing this blog at my Blogspot domain, you might also be viewing this blog at my own personal domain. While the differences in url are subtle, I'm pretty excited about having my own domain and actually hosting my blog there.
My initial thought was to create a blogger layout and somehow...host...the blog...from...cameronhinkle.com? I'm actually not really sure what I was going to do, but what I ended up doing has turned out much better. Rather than creating a template, I integrated with Blogger's API. I've put a lot of work into it and so far it is very bare bones, but that's because I spent several hours converting my site from static HTML to a site completely controlled by PHP. It's a pretty slick setup and I'll blog about the whole thing when I get some more time. The best part is I can easily integrate with Picasa, where I have a few albums stored and plan to put some more. So after the blog is a little more full featured, I'll be taking that up as my next task.
I hope you'll all take a few minutes to check out the new site. Unfortunately I'm still building it and I don't have a development environment to speak of so it will go down occasionally. Once everything is the way I want it (hopefully in a week or two), I'll remove the Blog widget from this site and just put up a link to the new site, so you might find your bookmark (assuming anyone has actually bookmarked this blog) expiring soon. Anyway, just a heads up.
