void-star.net Relaunch WiP // VOID-STAR.NET

So ever since I created it, I’ve been slowly working on the decommissioning of β in order to migrate it back up to the root of void-star.net. This project included writing JournalPress, WP-Flock, my sk.log-to-WordPress converter and now, finally, actually making a layout for the damn thing.

So here’s the work-in-progress version of just that. The screenshot, sadly,  fails to capture my AWESOME GRAND PLAN for the index page, which is basically to feature:

1. an excerpt from the most recent blog post
2. a list of the last five blog posts before the most recent
3. a list of the last five “Meanwhile, on the Internet…” posts
4. the last four-or-so pieces of uploaded art.

Drill-down pages will have only one navigation sidebar and less overall clutter.

I’m on to the hard part of styling the main details and figuring out what the hell I want to do with the footer (I hate footers), but I’ve been working on this on-and-off for a couple of weeks now and I don’t loathe it, which is a good sign.

Hrm…

Damn you, anti-smoking ad for introducing me to this totally awesome song I now can’t get out of my head.

Here, now you people can have it too.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the Captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful
Ah, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody knows that it’s me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah, when you’ve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joes still pickin’ cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it’s moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it’s coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
