It's fun breaking my web site

*Sigh* For the past few weeks I've been working on a new template system for my site. The previous one I implimented was rushed and based off the Smarty Template Engine. I didn't use Smarty but tried to develop something similar to it for my site. While it did work, it was still very limited and not very user friendly when it came to creating new site templates. So I decided to scrap it and redesign my system based off Wordpress' template design. This new system I've actually put a lot of time and effort into and finally got it to my liking last night. So today I decide to go live with it and sure enough, a few thousand things break.

I quickly make note of the issues and reverted back to my old template system. The problem was, I wasn't getting the same issues on my beta/offline site. Everything was exactly the same, but without any errors. So I made some minor changes and tried to switch everything around again. I still got errors but less of them. So I left the system running live and tried to quickly fix everything. And finally, after a few crazy hours of work (and a crazy forum that needed my attention as well), I believe I got all the critical issues resolved. This day sure did fly by.

There are still some problem with the site. For example, I complete broke my archives page and my article topics are not displaying. I don't have the time or energy to figure those out right now, so they'll have to wait. But I got my home page, article pages, etc. working. Again, you guys shouldn't notice any changes, but if you encounter any weird issues, let me know. Thanks!
