The DNA site is down at the moment. I'm not gonna get into the specifics about why, but the short of it is: Cloudflare and I are having issues with each other.

It'll be back tomorrow at latest, probably.

Not that you're missing much, I guess.

Same for my other site too, actually, if either one just Does Not Work when it should, let me know

I'm pretty sure I know where the vulnerability is and if I'm right, it's actually kinda funny because that means it lies in a weird misuse of a DOM element that shouldn't even exist anyway.

My old site's been obiliterated so I can't test to confirm lmao, but. yeah.

Hey if anybody is still using the seemingly abandoned WordPress plugin Comic Easel for whatever reason?

Stop doing that--it's vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

All versions are affected and there has been no patch made.

ok that's all, just wanted to spread the word.

lol.

I also need to rework how my site template files get used, too, i kinda don't like how that is at the moment.

Did some minor refactoring last night. New site is still undergoing active development tbh, every time i notice something that could be improved or tightened up some, i do it.

Sometimes i do forget to update a variable, though. If something is ever not working when the rest of the site is fine, please tell me what page it's on and I'll sort it out asap.

This weekend I'm going to finish some art, but I'm also going to work on the thing that's going to generate link image previews for me, too.

Figured out what this was and fixed it! It should no longer happen.

I'm yelling into the void and it's unlikely I'll get an answer, but if you were on my site at around the time listed in this screenshot (translated to your timezone of course) and you kept getting 500 errors, can you let me know what you were doing so I can recreate it and fix this?

This shouldn't be happening, and I'm baffled. There's like 30 of this, over and over, over the course of like, 7 minutes.

It looks like somebody kept refreshing and was getting frustrated they had no access.

Fortunately I know how to write SQL queries now, so it wasn't that hard to find what I actually wanted but oh my god? oh my god.

Imagine my shock and horror when I logged into phpMyAdmin to go pulling entries i wanted to transfer from the old site to the new and realized I had OVER 1800 ENTRIES in the blog post table.

Only 6 of them were actual posts!! The rest were old drafts, like... what? why. that is so much wasted space.

I've also been correcting some layout issues here and there, specifically in the blog archive. There were things revealing themselves on the live site that weren't happening on the test site (which is to be expected, it's a wholly different environment). I've been filling my test entries with "lorem ipsum" text--the real thing is, of course, going to be different.

That's fixed now, I think.

The new site is holding up very, very well. I've only had to fix two small bugs since publishing, and they were just "undefined variables".

There's only been one time that a "PHP fatal error" occured, and given what was described in the log, I'm prettty sure it was just a weird fluke...?

Idk, I have no way of knowing the conditions under which that happened lmao, but I'm keeping an eye on things.

It feels good to have the new site up, even if the version y'all are getting is incomplete.

I pulled the trigger early because of this. The old site was running wordpress with the comicpress and comic easel plugins, neither of which have had an update pushed to them since around 2018 or so.

My site finally just... completely broke and presented me with This when i upgraded the version of PHP my server is running lmao, it was just time for it to go whether things are ready or not.

Oof, okay, we are... we are alive, I guess.https://dnathewebcomic.com/blog/so-i-guess-this-is-the-new-site

In the process of trashing the old site in favor of the new one.

If you're on the discord, you know why already. I'll make a blog post on the site when everything's in place.
