Publishing System Addendum: Home Page
Forgot to blog about how I did the home page (http://www.theeislers.com). This page is designed as a composite of all the things we have: KT's blog, my blog, our blog about our boys, and our pictures. A while back, I wrote some PHP that can read an atom or RSS file and create links to the recent blog entries. I leveraged this, plus the random picture selecting code I wrote for the pictures page to build our home page.
The home page still links to individual pages for KT & I, the boys, and our dog (poor cats don't get a page!). That is pretty obsolete, my thinking going forward is that the blogs should be the primary page, with links in the side bars to the kinds of things that are linked to from the individual page.
Here is the code you need: homepage.zip (3 KB). It has to be copied to the root of your web site. Index.php is the file to customize for the blogs, pictures, links etc.
This is incremental to the site code for pictures that was part of the first publishing blog below - SiteRoot.zip (8 KB)
