PsiPog.net

Hello,
This post will concern PsiPog.net and the Articles, and have nothing to do with actual psychic experiences.

I haven't posted new articles on PsiPog.net in a while, and that sucks. One, it sucks because I have discovered a lot of cool things since my last article, and I still haven't written about all the other new things I've discovered about psi manipulation, etc. So I have a lot to write about.

Two, it sucks because the lack of new articles is a reflection of a bad system for posting articles by other people. I can post articles by myself pretty easily, however, posting an article from someone else (ESPECIALLY new authors) is very tedious, hard, long, boring, and overall difficult.

Three, I am working on new code as the back-end of PsiPog.net. This means that the way articles are stored on the PsiPog.net server, along with how all pages are delivered to the client (that's you), will be changed. This change is being made to partly solve the "bad system for posting articles" problem, but also a few other problems. For example, in the new back-end system, it will be 100 times easier to update articles and fix corrections.

The current system requires me to do about 10 minutes of work to correct one misspelled word on a page. Or another 10 minutes of work to add a new link to the links page. Pretty much any update (with the exception of making a new poll and posting in the news) will take me minimum of 10 minutes. That sucks.

With the new system, updating an article will take about 4 clicks. This is MUCH better. I.e., if I find a misspelled word, or want to add a link, or want to update one little thing, it will take me literally 1 minute.

This new system will allow for the entire website to run smoothly, and also allow the website to be updated when I'm not even at my computer (I can update the site on other computers, or even give other users to update the website).

Now: the problem is that I want to post articles. I currently have articles completely DONE. But I don't want to post them, because it will take a long time to post it, and it will then take even longer to convert to the new system.

So, I am focusing my efforts in two areas:
1. Getting this new back-end system up and running smoothly.
2. Getting the forums online and functional.

Now, on top of that, I also have goals for writing as well...
1. Write more for my book (which I have started)
2. Write more for my eBook (which I have about 25% done)
3. Write more articles (which I have a million ideas for)

With the new article system in place, we will have more categories to write for. If you want to see the current progress of the new system, check out: http://psipog.net/bn/articles.php. That is where I am working on getting things correct. Once I have it STABLE (not 100% done, just STABLE), then I plan on updating PsiPog.net to the new system.

Once it's on the new system, then I can start updating everything with more content a lot easier.
