Yeah, so I'm still alive. Some distractions have come up, so my progress has come to a screeching halt. Thankfully, it looks like most of what I have left to do before release is the small, tedious stuff. Fleshing out a controller here, making some views there. Nothing I can't handle, and certainly nothing complicated. All of that was taken care of (with the customary amount of kicking and screaming on my end) at the beginning. My little 404 detour was the last of the hard stuff, and something I didn't anticipate.
Like any good nerd, I already have a growing list of things to put in version 2 of the site, including:
- Revamped layout
- Redesigned database structure (nothing too drastic, just some refinement to make my queries simpler)
- Full text search with Lucene.NET
- Comment system
- Online forums?
My immediate concern is handling file uploads. It seems simple enough (I'm basing what I'm trying to do off a tutorial by Phil Haack:
http://haacked.com/archive/2010/07/16/uploading-files-with-aspnetmvc.aspx), at least on the surface. Hopefully the new edit model I'm almost done writing will work as expected. If not, I can work around it until I can find a better solution to implement in version 2.
In any event, it looks like mostly smooth sailing until I actually upload this sucker to the live environment. I'm sure that will be an experience.
