Since 1999 |

This website has gone through countless iterations since its first launch in 1999—or so I believe. It may have been 1997 or 1998. The version pictured above was replaced by a newer design in 2014. Looking back, it seems I was quite sentimental about that particular version. Here’s what I wrote at the time:

“I really liked the dungeon feel of it, and I was proud that bpinspire.com listed it as an inspiring implementation of the Buddypress social network plugin for WordPress.”

I still adore Buddypress, just as much as I’ve always loved WordPress. However, the compatibility issues with some gallery plugins within the WP and BP framework eventually became too much to handle. In the end, I chose to strip things back and return to a simpler site—not one that pretended to be its own social network.

That said, it was a lot of fun while it lasted. I might have dedicated more time to wrestling with the bugs in BP Gallery plugins, but I decided a responsive site that worked well on smartphones, tablets, and other devices was ultimately more beneficial.
