MidnightConMan.com - Anime News and Conventions Directory

My most recent PHP project presented me with a few new challenges, and reminded me of a few old ones. This site was meant as a replacement for my Animeimmersion.com website, as I felt that I would better appreciate the anime convention scene in a smaller niche market (after-hours). I am not sure how much time I have spent on this site, as I work on it from time-to-time. This is my most advanced site to date, and here are a few things it has above and beyond the other sites I have built:
  • Modular site design: The website is made of small packages that operate indepently of other packages on the site, but can work together in special circumstances.
  • Single Site Wide Authentication System, which allows for easy and robust authentication of users and visitors.
  • Dynamic Comments Engine, which allows users to comment on anything on the site.

I have not completed this project as of yet, but should be putting the finishing touches on it within the next few weeks, so stay tuned. As always, I will update this blog as time and body permit.
