Although I didn’t know HTML/CSS at that time, I finally made my first set of templates after a lot of hack editing. What impressed me most was a 1px dislocation in Firefox, but I couldn’t fix it. Ha ha ha, of course, There was no Such thing as Chrome…
Fast forward to 2006, because of a tragedy that can’t remember the details… All the data on my blog is dead (I’m a web nerd and it’s been a long time since I got my data back up…). “, so I made up my mind to change the blog program into WordPress, which was already popular at that time. I had already designed and made the template locally, but fate, or my server played a joke on me again… I don’t know why THE speed of WP installed online is very slow, but some friends who are familiar with it still have no solution after looking around. Frustrated and disappointed, I had to look back at Bo-Blog 2.0 and suddenly found that the new version added a lot of useful features, and achieved the effect of installing multiple plug-ins on WP without any bother. I was so impressed that I stopped struggling and fell into the trap. It’s been almost ten years… Now…
The theme I originally designed for WP was ported to Bo, and one of my biggest hobbies in the past few years has been tinkering with the template of my blog, even if no one knows what I changed. So I got a little bit better at changing CSS, but basically the Bo was constantly updated, and I didn’t really touch the source code until I got tired of using that template and threw it away and released it. There was still no Chrome at that time. I’m still a big fan of Internet Explorer… Debug scold scold, use or use every day…… Later, the visual style of the blog changed three times in 2008, 2010 and 2012, with the change of domain name and repeated “boredom”
Until one day I came back with a PHP+MySQL tome and went into “big changes” mode… I soon found it difficult to upgrade even after Bob had restored the update because the code had changed so much: For example, I added photo captions to the UBB, changed the time of blog posts to relative time, and completely redesigned the editor after removing countless features from the background (yes, you read that right, it’s almost 2016, I still use the UBB editor) and thought it was funny that Panic’s official blog had a completely different visual design for each category, so I implemented it in Bo as well, because I like Github’s commit I changed the archive page to a similar style, and recently added a custom background image with a direct link and a summary of the home page using unused fields in the blog table, etc. I still can’t write PHP or JS, but the process of tinkering with the code gave me a vague understanding of things like regular expressions and timestamps, which made it impossible for me to be a programmer for the rest of my life, but I enjoyed the process.
Over time, my friends in the links stopped opening one by one, RSS stopped being popular, Google Reader died, people began to say we media instead of Blog, even WordPress began to embrace THE JS framework, along with the rise and fall of Blog culture, I have been quietly using Bo-blog. Think about is the force of habit, my friends told me many times to switch to the WP, but every time I light back to the sentence “I’m not happy with database”, in fact I know, time spent on Bo over more than one hundred times, one thousand times more than the conversion database, really has been using Bo is a bit, although stubborn, but I still enjoy it,
Thank you Bo-blog, and thank you Bob for writing such a great thing to make me mess with, hahaha
