Yeah, I finally joined the rest of the internet and added some Google ads to the site. Why? I'm not entirely sure. I'm not so foolish to think that my little experiments are getting so much traffic that this will give me any sort of income, but I decided what the hell, I'll do it. Thus far, I've made a whopping ten cents. Too bad I won't see any of it until I earn $100, as that's when Google sends out the checks.
Well, I hope nobody is disappointed in me for selling out or anything like that, but if you are, I'll get over it.
Just as I did with the
Metroid Prime: Hunters Image Profiles, I've begun linking the
ACWW Turnip Market with
Kaaosa.com. Relevant updates from Kaaosa.com will be visible on the Turnip Market site and user accounts from there will be usable across the network for any future endeavors Kaaosa.com should take on.
Also, a number of users have emailed me to let me know that the ACWW profile images are not displaying names. I am actively working to fix this bug, but I cannot say when it will be fixed, because I hadn't changed anything when it began (and so I have no real idea what might be causing the problem), and nothing I've tried chaning thus far has worked. I'll keep you all updated.
EDIT: Ha! Fixed it. Profile images are once again functioning as they should.
I tried setting up the MP:H image profiles to add entries to the
spy page on Kaaosa.com, but the page had to update so fast that it kept breaking. So, I removed that and I'll get around to it later. I definitely want to get it working. It was pretty cool each time I checked it, to see how fast things were moving.. until it broke each time. Oh well. I'll make it happen sometime.
So I'm getting back in tot he swing of things with these images, and I'm wondering what I should update next. I've taken a look through my old code, and it's a bit embarassing. The first thing I might do is rewrite the whole thing. If I do that, when it's finished I want to try developing an interface to allow users to customize all aspects of their image profiles, from positioning of individual elements to colors to size. That's going to be a pretty big undertaking, but I think I can do it. I think it's something that's been due for a while as well. If any of you out there who are using the images have any suggestions, let me know; I am building these for you guys, after all!
So I decided to make Kaaosa.com a centralized hub sort of thing for all the sites I run. To start that process, I made it so that the news at
http://metroid.kaaosa.com is the same as the news in the metroid category here. I'm going to do that for
http://turnips.kaaosa.com as well. Then I'm gonna do a bunch of stuff to make running them easier for me. You people won't see that stuff though. That stuff is just for me.
