Update my PEOWW, Doctor
Well, the new PEOWW is up and running. At first glance it's pretty similar to the old one but it's now powered by Wordpress which is a good thing as it means I can update articles much quicker. On the downside, I didn't fancy using any themes and did it all myself which = extraordinary pain when you're a tech-spazzy as I am.
Old PEOWW. Bye bye, Joan.
This all came about just a couple of weeks ago when Sidekick from the PEOWW forum suggested that we add a blog of sorts (fuck... I've still got to do that). I'd been playing around with content management systems (namely Joomla) and it was making me cry constantly. The blog thing got me onto Wordpress and I was able to whip up a site pretty quickly.
Making it look like PEOWW took the most time. It kind of does, yes? Especially when the eagle-eyed among you spot which famous celebrity I've snuck onto the front page. We spent a week adding old reviews and features to the site (have done 70, only 130ish to go... it'd be more but I'm trying to max Skate 2) and then the IMMENSE PANIC of realising that whilst it looked good in Firefox, the whole site was FUCK-O in Internet Explorer. Hngggggggg!
Still, fixed it (well not really but came up with a clever way to mask the fuck up using lovely colours... heeeeee!) and was able to launch yesterday. Oh and then I broke all the links when I changed the url to www.peoww.co.uk rather than the temp WP directory. Oh and I seem to have fucked some of staff log-ins up.
So that's the story of PEOWW 2. Ooooh.
Still plenty to add and new stuff on the way. Once we add all the old pieces and I risk playing around in the code again, we'll be looking good.
Editorially (editLOLiaLOLy) I've made a couple of decisions. One was to drop the score in our first ever review (Space Giraffe) because the patch made things too difficult. The second was to do a complete rewrite of one review because I'd spent so much time with the game and wanted to add some extra perspective.
Oh and you can now leave comments on the reviews and ting. Which is neat-o.
