SITE UPDATE-15.6.5

CLICK HERE to go back to the past changes "2013 MONTHS" menu.
V.15.6.5-This is about the bottom bar:
  • The bottom bar has officially been removed.
    • I figured out way it was gone. You can read about it here.
    • Since it's going, I updated the Site Layout Help page with the news.
    • I updated the floating warning at the top of the screen with the news.
    • And lastly, I moved the Back-to-Top arrow to the bottom of the screen again.
      • I moved it up to make room for the bottom bar.
I'm going to miss that bar. It was awesome.

    On my official blog, I made a post about the making of one of the POTW's. Now, instead of flooding the main site with the same picture everywhere, I'll just keep the post over there. CLICK HERE to see it. I'll be doing loads of "Making of's" and they'll only be posted on my blog. Also, there is a BTS video made for the new picture. It's 11:45 in length. You can CLICK HERE to see the video or look below.

    Update Blog...Update-6-24-13

    This is a post from my UPDATE BLOG.
    Wednesday, June 24th, 2013- Ok, today was epic. We had a EPIC storm. I would have tracked it like the last storm, but I wasn't excepting it. The last big storm was suppose to be a derecho and directly hit us. So, I was ready and tracked it with updates. But it didn't happen. Well, guess what! That's what this storm was! I was able to track it like I did becuase...I didn't know it was there!! Until it was here! Well, I saw it in Chicago and it took a hour to get here. Anyways, it's like it was making up for what I missed out on. And boy...I made up for it. Here's the pictures I uploaded on personal Facebook. Which is pubic so I don't know why I made my other one. I had a blast with this storm. It was on the top for this year. And it's just starting. We'll have to see what tomorrow or any other time holds.

    SITE UPDATE-15.6.1144

    CLICK HERE to go back to the past changes "2013 MONTHS" menu.
    V.15.6.114-This is a quick little update. Here's what I did:
    • The bottom bar is still missing. I don't know why.
      • The codes are still there, the hosting site still has them, it's just weird!
      • And so, that made me put a warning at the top of the site.
      • But I wanted more than just a warning at the top, I wanted it to be where the bar was, floating.
    • And so, thus the warning hovers comes it.
      • I looked into ways to make the words float or snap with the screen and stay there while you scroll.
        • I finally figured it out and it worked.
        • I put it where the original warning was under the red HELP link at the top of the site.
          • When you scrolled past it popped to the bottom of the screen and stayed there until you scroll back up.
            • However...there are a problem.
        • It looked like it worked, but it blocked the WHOLE site!
          • Since it was on top of everything.
            • So, I had to re-think.
      • And that leads to the point of it being at the top.
        • The code was made for it to be up there and I changed it to be at the bottom.
          • I see why it was only at the top. :-P
        • I had to move things around.
          • Like the floating quick links.
            • They were up the with the warning and it was overlapping them and you could use them.
            • So, I made the vertical and moved them down along with the floating shares.
              • It looks different, but it works.
      • And then I thought... Maybe I could put the HELP link there too!
        • The code has a left and right columns.
          • So with a little tweaking, I got it to work.
      • And now there will always be a help link.
        • Even after a solve the bottom bar problem.
        • I'll just take out the bar warning and leave the help link.
          • It's awesome.
    • Oh, last random thing, I added a BTS link under the POTW in the menu.
      • So, now you can see how I made the photo on my blog, right from the menu.
        • Can't believe I didn't think of that before.
    And that's all I did basically. This bottom bar issue is getting annoying. I'll figure it out. I just want to warning you and make it easier to help with the issue.

    Update Blog...Update-6-12-13

    This is a post from my UPDATE BLOG.
    Wednesday, June 12th, 2013- Ok, this well be fun. This is one of those continuing posts. I did this before with one of our epic snow storms
    • 1:00 p.m.- Today, we are in the line of fire for some epic storms. We are in the PINK zone! I don't get to say that a lot. 
    • 5:00 p.m.- Right now, we are getting the pop-ups in Illinois. It's still clear over here. But it's starting. I'm getting ready.
    • 5:30 p.m.- Even more pop-up are forming, it's turning into a line. HERE WE GO! It'll be here in an hour, maybe more. Unless a pop-up forms on us.
    • 6:00 p.m.- It's getting better. There are storms forming above the other line. We just have to wait and see. My area has a TOR:CON (a chance for tornadoes  of 5 out of 10. A 50% chance!
    • 6:30 p.m.- It's getting closer. It's on my radar now. And we are getting some pop-ups, only one. Back at 1:00, the future track show them getting here at 7:00. I don't trust future tracks, but this one might be right. We'll have to wait and see.
    • 7:30 p.m.- It's ok, here we go. There are pop-ups below us and they all have tornado warnings. The are going east though. It's getting better. I had a feeling we would be missed...but then I look at my other radar that's for Chicago... and this one. Yep, this could be epic.
    • 7:30 p.m.- Judging by my radars and the news tracking of the storms, they are going to miss us. They are going to go just below us. I knew it.
    • 9:30 p.m.- We got missed. But we did get clipped. Here's some pictures. There was a boat load lightning. I got some good video. There's still more forming, so we'll have to see.
    • 11:59 p.m.- Nothing happened...Goodnight.

    Update Blog...Update-6-10-13

    This is a post from my UPDATE BLOG.
    Monday, June 10th, 2013- Well, I have been sick for a few days and I come back to my bottom bar missing... :-o!!! I investigated to find that all the codes are there...it's just not there. The hosting site still has them, I can still customize it, it just...not there. Maybe it'll come back. I already took the code out and put it back in and that didn't work. We'll have to see. I liked that bottom bar. :'(

    This is a post from my UPDATE BLOG.
    Tuesday, June 4th, 2013- Well...I'm sick. But that started today. The reason this update is delayed is because I have just been too busy! BUSY HAVING FUN!! However, I did make the update video for this month today. The past few days have been...ehh. We did get a few storms. But nothing to good. I need to upload my videos that I'm behind on. Things will happen. They just take time.
