Busy Busy Busy
Had some free time today now that I'm done working on all the new forum themes. Updated MT all the way from 3.17 to 3.20. I know what you're thinking, such a big upgrade. A pitty there's not an actual sarcasm tag for marking up text that can make it really jump out at you. I'm not exactly sure what 3.20 brings to the table, something about importing styles for dummies, but I'm rather anal about having the latest and greatest. Before you ask, no. I'm not gonna go through all that trouble to update the forums from 6.7.0 to 6.7.3. Please don't be offended when I say this but you guys aren't worth that amount of time. After updating MT I busied myself with applying the old design theme to the new code. Brain Farts is now officially back online. Over the next few days I will be tweaking the code to get it Just Right™. If you're interested in seeing the forum themes now available to you in your forum profile just continue reading.

I Can Do That
So I decided to have a link to my blog on the main page. It should help those one or two passerby's that I'm not able to spam to death with the actual link or email. Helps to own the site and everything. It will also allow those in the clan who are curious to see what The Ruler of all That Is mAc™ is up to on the off chance I post about clan matters. You never know...

Proudly presenting Brain Farts version 2.0.
Welcome to the new and improved version of Brain Farts. It is my utmost hope that you enjoy the spiffeh new look and find some of the new features useful.(I give no guarantees on the content, though.) If this is your first time here, or just plain forget what the old site looked like, you must see this example in order to fully understand how much it has changed. Ever since I started clan-mac.com three years ago I have always had an active hand in how it looks and functions. No matter who the web-guru was at the time or which team I had assembled to put it all together, nothing went on the site unless I approved of it. In every iteration that the main site went through I have always been proud of the work invested and the people who put forth their personal time. If you've been here since the start you can easily assume that I've only gotten prouder over time. The single thing I've been proudest of all is the forum section of the site. This area alone entails an unfathomable amount of pain staking troubleshooting just to get it all to look just right.(In fact, parts of it still don't.) Since the forums are so extensive you must be very meticulous when it comes to the color palette you select. Put simply, that's the difference between looking tacky and looking professional.
But, as of now, the section of the site I'm now proudest of is my very own part of it. The single, underlying reason why it holds that position is because I designed the look myself. With the exception of a graphic whipped up by my dear friend Carbon and an image ripped from the forums, which was in turn ripped from Apple, I did the coding and layout myself working from the default style. During the process of re-doing the look and feel of my weblog I ended up teaching myself CSS. If you are a web designer and do not know or utilize CSS then I highly recommend you do. This language makes site layout simple and easy, browser of choice be damned. Throughout the never-ending ordeal of revamping the main site I always knew it wasn't an easy thing and always made sure that those working on it felt appreciated. It is only now that I fully understand the labor of love it was for those who have helped out in the past and continue to support the site. At this point I must give out mad props to all those that have ever worked on clan-mac.com.(In no particular order: TonyTheMad, Death, Kaboom, Cube, Tarth, Jazz and anyone else I might have forgotten over time .) Take a bow guys, you deserve it, wherever you are.
