This week has been rather hectic. It’s become really evident that the semester is nearly over and the “OMG” feeling has kicked in.
I didn’t spend as much time on further optimizing the Bears Matter site as I would have liked to. I spent 4 hours working on that and trying to further reduce the load time. I’m still not 100% satisfied on that. I have been working on getting a publishing application that will allow the client to publish with minimal fuss to her other social networking accounts (Facebook Page, Twitter, and LinkedIn). I originally had some automatic publishers that would run in the background of the blog but those had a significant impact on the load time of the pages and they were also a little “buggy”. I have since downloaded a Ping.fm extension for Joomla! and have configured the Ping.fm account to link to the different networks. Now I need to get the Joomla! extension linked into the Ping.fm account to facilitate the distribution of the blog posts. Fingers crossed that this will go fairly smoothly and this week I can finalize the optimization of the site.
The majority of this week has been spent working on the PHP project, and to lesser extent the CSS project. I’m troubled with the PHP project. Fortunately, I have a little bit more time on that one in order to get it done. So I’m not going to panic on that one just yet! 
Well short posting this week; my mind is pushing me to do some coding rather than reflecting on my past week. I will endeavor to have a better post next week!
