According to W3Schools, I must be some kind of whiz. But I don't agree. As of now, the integration of these new-found skills just hasn't translated into much of significance. What little of significance that was indeed accomplished, had to take place outside of their system. But that isn't really relevant, except as a way to explain. So there it is.
Now that the calendar project has concluded, what's next? Integration into my blogs, of course. But how? Well, better organization is a good thing, so let's try that.
It so happens that the one thing I've learned in making the calendar was how to manipulate a small database. But this blog is much bigger. If I could manage this blog outside of blogger, perhaps I could improve it. That's the idea. So the idea is this, construct a database of posts that I want to include in a database. The database can be queried in order to find whatever I cannot find while using blogger.
Yep, blogger cannot help me find some posts. It's happened before on this blog, so likely, it will happen again. Maybe this will help, or maybe not.
I don't know if I'll retro-fit the blog with this database. I'll start small, and then move to bigger things if it works okay.
I'll start with videos. One thing I've noticed is that video embeds tend to get obsoleted a lot. I'd like to start doing a check on embedded videos. If one gets taken out, I can updated it with another.
So, to begin I will start with embedded videos. These embeds will go into a database. That's all for now. Time=12:02 PM local
1:26 PM:
Ok, the posts are in, and the database is created, and now has two videos (posts) in it. What's next? Some python code to access it. That should be easy. Famous last words? Nope. The single-machine offline is very predictable. That thing they got over at W3Schools isn't.
