Weblog (update)
It has been a while since I have added any new features, and to the general public (you) it will seem as if I still haven’t added anything. I have, however, added the capability to delete an entry! While I am mostly satisified with the way my weblog engine works, it is seriously lacking in the administration department. I can’t edit posts once they have been submitted unless I log directly into my database (Microsoft SQL Server) and perform edits to my entries within the database itself, which is not the best way to do things to say the least. So my next step is… creating the ability to edit my entries from within the weblog engine.
I did learn a new trick while working on the ability to delete entries. This new found trick is called “transactions”. It is relatively simple actually, and while I did not know it existed per se, I figured something like it had to be available. Basically, the “transaction” holds onto all of the database edits until you have decided that everything is ok, then it commits all of the edits to the database for good.
