 catching the programming bug really cannot be overstated. this is my fourth night in a row where i've accidentally gone to sleep at 3am because i've been making amazing nonstop progress on the website. tonight alone i've implemented the homepage tiles and a system to automatically populate the "newest" post on the first tile (which took a little more wrangling than expected). that new system also allowed me to add in a next and previous button which should make the site a lot easier to navigate. i'd like a "back" button on posts to bring you back to the primary collection, but i'd like to do it in a clever way that avoids any manual messing about.
