Hey hey! I still do work! Sometimes.

Honestly, I have done far less than I should have for a while. Mostly just made sure things didn't burn down and did updates for events while everybody else did the hard stuff like make or delightful items and post regularly.

So. Sorry about that, users.

BUT. Here I am! And by glob, I will get things done.



You may have noticed that I made a new (closed) sticky, Dev Updates Log I will list stuff I did each day I actually make an update to the site. (Things that I work on, but do not put on the site itself will not be posted there.)

As you can see from that, I've done a bit in the past few days relating to Item Tagging, which I've mentioned a few times in the past as being kind of seriously mission critical. As such, I need to get that finished before I can do anything particularly important.

There's not really too much to say about it in particular that I haven't already said. There'll be a fixed list of tags of several different types (colors, type [clothing piece, type of body part, scene, companion, etc], and theming), with everything that applies going on an item.

The first place that I'll use this is the Avatar Editor, which is already using it...but almost no tags are actually done.

Naturally, that means the thing I actually need to do now is a tool to tag items easily, in addition to ensuring our Item Creation tools do it for us as easily as possible.



I'll also mention that I have a tendency to fix things that I notice and am bothered by as I'm using the site--such as flipping item previews in the shops when appropriate. Right now I'm thinking the most like next "I can't take this any longer" update is gonna be how "Preview Post" looks nothing like a real post.



Anyway, folks, how ya doin'? Any thoughts about current dev priorities? Something that's not broke, but you still wanna see fixed?
