- Who or what is Mother?

GLaDOS ?

I really like this bio.

In the last part of the adult life description, 'she would always be with there' looks to need editing a little.

Even though I cannot play yet, those look to be good changes.

I haven't seen any information on the work disables (or I may have missed it). Are these just work which our characters won't perform, and skills that they won't increase during gameplay? So if I didn't want my character to mine, I can 'set' that as disabled, and they would never do it?

Ahh. Hmm, a quick search gives me this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/post-to-smf-forum/ (It is for an older version of SMF though.)

I'm not sure about the Weblog posts showing the fora post count, as it doesn't mention this in the description, but it can add a link. You can then simply turn comments off on the Weblog.

I have sent a piece of writing to you via email.

1. What is your writing experience?

Largely personal, between roleplaying several years back; story drafts; a diary and a Weblog. My professional writing includes, voluntarily over a period of nine years, tier-one customer support; peer-to-peer support and support guides.

2. Why do you want to help out?

For the fame and fortune. And I like to feel useful. Making a contribution to a project makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

3. How much are you available to help out?

As much as is required of me. Through a mixture of both losing and leaving, I no longer have employment. My days are free for the majority of hours.

I haven't had any time to look into this. It's still on my to-do.

This one is easy. Installing a modification and importing the feed. The hardest part is choosing which modification to add.

Edit: This one has been updated recently, and is compatible with the version of SMF used here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=624

Looking in to it I really wanted it to work, because it would be useful in many ways, especially with a large amount of people using blog software as a CMS. I guess we're not yet meant to have individual domains for every post.

Making a standalone page will be the best option for using the domain, though you would lose the slight ease of editing through the blog. But a static page just means you can save the source and upload it, make a cup of tea and call it a success.

I see that this is on the back burner for now, so I'll add this here for reference in case you wish to tackle it again.

To have the domain point to the page on the blog, and stay in the address bar, isn't completely achievable, due to the page being just that, a page within the blog. Because there is no existing rimworld directory for the domain to latch on to, the best you can hope for is rimworldgame.com/rimworld (or any other page name, 'buy' for example). (Adding a directory would be the easiest, but it doesn't work unfortunately.)

If you are able to try, set rimworldgame.com up as an Addon Domain, and configure the Document Root field for the path to the blog (from the screenshot, this appears to be /public_html/ludeon.com/blog/). rimworldgame.com should then find its way to the blog also.

In the .htaccess file for the blog (/public_html/ludeon.com/blog/.htaccess) set the following:

Code Select Expand

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?rimworldgame\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /rimworld/ [R,L]

This, hopefully, will send you to the rimworld page of the blog (rimworldgame.com/rimworld/). I'm not fully sure, but removing the R, from the square brackets should tell Apache to use a silent redirect. My testing of this proved futile though, and I added the R, to make the page re-direct. You might get lucky if you try.

It's not perfect, and the .htaccess code could do with a way to reduce errors from possible bad links or extra words stuck on the end and such, but I'm no expert at that sort of thing. (I also don't know how WordPress works, so cross your fingers it doesn't cry through the whole process.)
