The Countdown Conversion-Migration-Exodus-Thingy!

Alright, today went mostly smooth. Here's what I'm dealing with and then I gotta run.

1. First off, I took care of The Flashpoint Event. It's now wrapped up very nicely.

2. I've started the implementation of a "TSL This Week" event on my website. Basically, I get to write a summary of the most important things that happened in comic books for the last seven days. It's working nicely (although I'll have to see how it works).

3. All my updates went good...but...

4. It leads me to my conversion project. When Squidoo had problems in August, that led me to try to create a Countdown List on my own website. It's called The Top 10 Greatest Agents of SHIELD (feel free to check it out). I'm not heavily promoting it; what I wanted is a contingency plan if something ever happened on Squidoo.

Well, it's doing ok, but I'm seeing some formatting problems when I try to stick social media boxes on it. Check out the Facebook Like, Share, and Twitter buttons; when I came in today to update the page, they were in an ERROR 404 pattern. So I deleted it and rewrote the script; now it's working.

In other words, it's not all shiny yet, but I'm getting there.

5. And finally, there's the Countdown Widget I'm using in conjunction with my website countdown project. It works great, but it took more than 30 minutes for me to break apart the script and figure out how to manually tweak it on my own. (30 minutes means I took a little longer than I had.)

Ok, I'm out! It was a good day.
