First REAL post
Yeah, what the hell. Even though it's not completely finished I decided to give my blog a proper start.
I've been blogging on Hyves since 2006 but not on what you can call a regular basis. Then a few months ago I started writing programming (less confusing word when you're talking about writing blogs blogging 
) a blog for People2People. That inspired me to start my own blog, away from Hyves. This gives me the benefit of writing in both English and Dutch (writing an English blog on a website for Dutch people is just silly), I can change the layout to whatever I like and... and... well, it just gives me more freedom.
And here it is: a blog that originated from People2People and a layout inspired by Tweakblogs.net. The star icon for categories and the folder icon for archives are taken from the LGPL-licenced Nuvola icons.
To be continued... got to get up early tomorrow...
Right. Yesterday I planned on writing the rest of this post, when I realised there was no edit-functionality 
so I had to implement that and if you can read the rest of this post, it must mean that it worked
I also found out the importance of thorough testing. Just after posting this post I noticed the whole design messed up, which didn't happen when I was testing locally. It turned out that I only tested posts of a few words to see how the page would look with more content, and long posts with nothing more than just text. I didn't try long posts with markup such as links and such.
Long posts get cut off at 500 characters, and when that happened inside an HTML-tag, everything broke. Right now I "fixed" it by switching the order: first cut off the text, then convert to HTML. This might result in seeing the original BBCode, but so be it. I'll make a proper fix when I feel like it.
