Incoming Website Fixes

There are website fixes and changes incoming! For one, I'm going to set up a functioning search function in two weeks based on the wonderful magic of Google Custom Search JSON API. I want results to display in the same format as ordinary entries, and other tools I've looked into don't do a very good job at this: they cling to their own style or inject ads. So it's time to dust off my JavaScript coat and work some magic.

And just in case you are wondering why I haven't fixed it before . . .

In all honesty, I simply didn't notice that search wasn't working. I intended to set the function up when I first brought my website online, but since I used the site rarely, I never tried to search anything until now.

And there was little reason to write here, because putting the effort in while having zero or only one book out is a much worse use of time than simply writing the next book.

But now that I'm nearing the publication of my second novel, I think I'll clean up.

Very excited to do a bit of web-programming again. Since my last go at JavaScript much has changed, and I'm excited to try out the new bells and whistles. Then again, the task is quite simple, so I'll probably end up implementing the functionality using one non-minified script without really using modules and automatic encapsulation and everything else. If I had more time, I'd write a simple game in JavaScript–now that would be fun.
