Remember a couple weeks ago when I was talking about this horribly dorky idea that was floating around in my head? Well it's been done. I set the silly thing up and it is now live.
It's mostly just dummy entries right now, but it all works. This all started with something I have to do every day at work. We run this little "On This Day in History" thing every day. I write it up and put the video in it the night before. Most of the time we get video and something that happened from NewsOne. But about once a week (sometimes more if they're being really stupid) they either don't send one, or don't give us the information we need. (like what year it happened!) A lot of the time it'll be something from just a year ago, practically ancient history! It always frustrates me and I'll go searching on-line for something that's actually interesting that happened on that day.
I've found a couple good sites, there's a science one, military one, and a music one that are pretty good. But I haven't been able to find anything that's more comprehensive. And when I stumble across interesting things that have happened I don't have somewhere to put that information. So, I set something up myself!
It's not the prettiest thing right now, but it's a work in progress and the meat of it is there. There's a dummy page for each day of the year so anyone can add anything. I realize it's incredibly dorky, but at least it's out of my head now!
And in other geek news. I'm thinking about abandoning my Photo Album and just putting all my pictures in the Photoblog. If I add categories to it it would be pretty much the same thing, but a lot less work for me! I dunno, it's something I'm toying around with at any rate.
