SITE UPDATE-22

V.22- This was a decent update. It's pretty big. There's some interesting new things that are really cool. Here's what I did:

• The NEW Bottom Bar...
• I'm proud of this. I spent a week trying to get this one to work out right. Ever since I got burned by my last bottom bar, I wanted another one. I searched for a month, then....I saw it. I started coding it and tried to pop it on the Test Site....it didn't work. :-\ BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP ME! I looked into why it wasn't working. It was inside the code. So, I Googled if anyone fixed the issue...and SOME ONE DID!! I followed what they did and BOOM! it worked!! I was so happy. I worked a few more days on it. I heavily customized everything and it slowly transformed in the Bottom Bar that's on the Main Site. It wasn't what I wanted it to be, but it's something. I took the entire bottom of the Main Site and stuffed it in there. The clocks, Site Version Check and more. I left the favicons and the copyrights alone. I like it. I'm cleaning up the clutter and stuffing it into collapsible panels. It's nice! 
• Transparency Takeover...
• I love transparency. I'm in Windows Vista right now, and I have the windows set to as clear as they can be. I love how that looks. Too bad they got rid of it in Windows 8. At least OS X and iOS is starting it now. Too bad I don't have any of that. My brother does. I play with their iPad. :-P Anyways, I liked the Hover Image Panel when I added it in Version 21. It had kind-of had that look. Just flat, and not so glossy. Moving on, when I was adding the Bottom Bar, I noticed it had a transparency option too. So, I turned it on, adjusted it a bit and it look good. That led me to making and thing floating in the window (as in the Floating Quick Links and Floating Shares along with the Hover Warning) transparent. That also applies to all my sites with anything floating. I looked cool. I like it.
• The NEW Help Page Menu...
• When going through my stack of codes again, I saw the interesting menu system. You can separate a page into segments and use the menu that's always floating at the top of the screen to switch between them. It looked awesome. I just had to figure out where to put it. I decided on the Help Page that's on Webs. It's the only page that has different sections. So, with a little magic and customizing, I got it to work wonderfully. Go take a look.
• The NEW Photo Sections...
• The POTW and the Latest Photo sections in the sidebar had revamp. I integrated the border and caption from the POTW section into the Latest Photo section. Then, I integrated the Flickr widget in the Latest Photo section into the POTW section. So, now the look the same and act the same. When I add an upload and new Latest photo or a POTW photo, it'll update automatically. I still have to update the making of link in the POTW section, but at least I have one less step to do.
• The NEW New Window Selector...
• I added this new test to the Main Site. Above the BWTV section and below the non-hovering Hover Warning, I added a new option thing. I think it's the first thing I actually let you decide what you want to do. It's like a setting on the site. I have any links that go off site open in a new window, which you can set to open into a new tab. The setting is, do you want the links to do that...or not. If you check the box, they'll open into new window. If you un-check it, they'll open link any other link. It's a neat little setting. I like it.
• <nonscript>
• If you put something in a <nonscript> it'll only appear when the site detects that your browser does not support Javascript or you have Java turned off. So, I made a little paragraph like the IE checker that said Java is key to the site, everything runs off of it. 
• No More Navbar...
• I disabled the Blogger Navbar that was at the top of the site. Just to see what it looks like. I like the way it looks.
• Experiments...
• Of course, I did some little secret experiments. Seeing what I could add and looking up more things to think about adding. I'm trying to get a list ready for the next update.
• Even More IE Issues...
• So...I was doing compatibility tests. Loading my sites in different browsers to see what works and what doesn't. Firefox and Opera past the test. Firefox was a bit slow though. Anyways, I got it Internet Explorer 9, the only one I can test. I knew things where about to fall apart. The Main Site did its usual thing, the menu is broken, the Disqus comments didn't work, blah blah, SOME MUCH BROKENNESS! However, when I was testing IE 10, it all worked fine. I can't test that anymore because my sister's computer crashed. :-\ Moving on, I continue though all my sites and things weren't too bad. Then, I got to My Blog. It all looked good...but one thing...my Image Comparison. It doesn't even load. I looked back before the 21.5 update, and they didn't load. So, it's been broken for a while and I didn't know it. To compensate, I added the IE checker from the Main Site to the Blog and that explain the situation.
• Webs Is Dead...
• Webs and I have had issues. I fixed that with the Version 20 update when I made EVERYTHING on the sites run without external codes. Well, when I was trying to add the Bottom Bar, I tried to upload the external code that it needed to Webs so I can have it and edit it. Wellllll....I couldn't. I got "Error: The file type you uploaded may only be used on premium sites." ..................FINE!!! I can still edit what's already uploaded, but I can't upload anything new. So, now Webs and I are parting ways. Except for the Membership site. But that hasn't been updated in a while. I'm trying to think of what to do with it. So, yeah....that's my story. It's a good thing that I have my new standard of things working without external codes. Everything still runs that way. All these new things as well.

Ok, that's it. This was a good update. I'm noticing that I'm starting to hide things on my sites. Mostly on the main site. Version 21 made the Better Way To View section hidden. Version 21.5 hid some of the extra video minks into the Hover Image Panel. And now I hid unnecessary the things at the bottom of the site. I'm cleaning it all up. I think it looks wonderful. I don't know what's in the next update. I didn't know what was going to be in this update until a week ago. :-P ANYWAYS! See you next month!
