2600 Website Complete

After a year’s worth of promises, I’ve finally completed the *new* *dynamic* Ottawa 2600 website. This beats the old website (here), which was static. You had to edit the HTML pages manually to update news and meeting info on the website. While that manual-labour aspect could of been handled by a Bash script, this new PHP-based system is just easier. Editors can write new entries, which are updated throughout the menus of the site automatically.

Plus it looks cool. The code base for this was not mine – I used a WordPress Theme called CLI 1.0 by Rod McFarland. It’s very clean, well organized, code. For instance, he didn’t have support for parsing the ?cat=x in the URL bar, which I desperately needed. Adding it in, thanks to his cleanliness, was a synch. I also added a few functions (among them recognition of at least one swear word.)
