Whew, think I've hit a point where the work I've done this last week has come together. My new comments system is live + all old comments imported:

I've also posted the tutorial and Fine Art 6 there.
Next = close my old sites down and move projects to the new one.
Comments are Live! | Scott's Site
I've developed a comment system and this site now uses it. Yay!
I didn't have access to the computer I'm doing my coding on for a while, just a spare laptop. And so I decided to create another grand fine art masterpiece.
This... perhaps... represents everyone's crushed dreams and the depressing nature of life in general :).

It's been one of those programming days where I got like 1/3 of what I thought I was gonna get done done (despite working very hard). Eh well, maybe tomorrow I'll clear my "version 1 list" xD.
Wohoooo! The first version of my new comments system is live. I'm seriously considering developing this into something others could use. But, anywho, for now this.

My site has comments again.

Tutorial: XAMPP – Local https and multiple domains (vhosts) (Windows)
Alrighty, so this took me a day to get working lol. I wanted to be able to visit my different local dev web projects using different local https domain names. I also wanted to use my own folders fo…

Q'PLAAAAAA! Working on a comment system, got an early version working (locally). Just need to sort a few more things and I think I can start using it. A thread can even be loaded via an iframe so I'll probs be adding comments back to my old site too (prev ditched Disqus due to too much ads).
Aright, after several hours of tryna figure out which random combination of config, vhosts and htaccess shenanigans actually works, I've gotten https working on my local dev. That was frustrating but now maybe tomorrow I can get back to actually coding my project lol xD.
I didn't realise with CSS flex AND grid you could effectively do colspan=2. Combine that with media queries and order and you gots yourself some powerful responsive design tools. Guess having a cold + only having the energy to mess with some old web templates paid off and learned something lol xD.
