Hey there! It's unlikely many people will be reading this by the time that it is posted but this is my first test post for my blog feature on the page. I don't use WordPress or a template builder for this site so there's a lot of research, planning, and learning involved in getting the small features up and running. In the end however, I hope it'll allow me to provide a unique experience for users who visit. I want to integrate features similar to social networking and am researching how to embed a discord channel onto the page.
There are many platforms and groups out there and many sites that use forums. I'm 'old school' with the web and remember the magic of chat rooms as a kid and want to bring that kind of novelty to my site where people can talk to each other in real time and let discord handle the labor. At this point in development, I have coded the basic structure and layout for the site in its first iteration and have begun to build the database for my products that I'll be putting up for sale. I've connected that(What a journey) and after I'm satisfied with it I'll integrate a payment platform and look into tracking services for packages.
It's getting to that time of the year where things will begin to wake up and almost time for me to set and divide plants up for the new season. I'm looking towards doing some events again here in the near future and I'm also looking into tissue culture. Always found it fascinating and believe it'd be a vital asset in the future.
I'll be making blogs from time to time to share updates with the site and FG in general. I hope to see you all again! -Ryan
