Below is a series of quick posts from the day. I am calling these ‘Blips.’ Read more about my homebuilt system, Glowbug, here, as well as updates on my work coding it at the end of this post.

Glowbug Development Notes:
I didn’t get to do too much development today. But there were a few things:
- I enabled paging in my viewing of blips on the admin side. Up to now it’s just shown me the top 20 in my admin view and I had to go into the database if I needed to see anything past that.
- I modified the output to account for if blips occur on multiple days (as exemplified by today’s posts.)
- I cleaned up some of the admin display CSS, nothing major and still not perfect. Just a step in the right direction.
- Okay, well as I was making this post I ended up uncovering some other weird corner case display bugs. So I did more work on cleaning up the export to make it cleaner in regards to HTML code generation for the output moving forward.
