Podscape

Today I did a little time travel…I went back to the good old bad days of 1998 and was updating Podscape’s CMS live on the production site and relearned one of the central reasons on why we don’t do that anymore…if something is going to go wrong…it definitely will. So the site came down for a few hours and almost looked like it wasn’t going to come back in any kind of quick time frame.

One of the good things is everything is updated but my custom Podscape CSS died in the process. I tried a couple of tricks to bring it back, but nothing worked. It had been THAT long since the last time I updated the site. One of my original Drupal dev blogs died a horrible death for the very same reason. Drupal had moved on to newer versions and I couldn’t update the site through a script anymore.

So today is about trade-offs…the custom CSS is gone, but the site is working. All the links seemingly flow and the comic navigation is active again, not to mention the comics are showing!

I’m about to launch a whole new responsive look and feel so we’ll just live with this version for a little bit longer til I can get the new UX/UI out of testing and launched.

Please let me know if you find any issues in the site in the meantime.
