PostNuke And A Theme I Kept Versioning

By the middle of 2002 hand-typed pages weren't enough, so I installed a portal. PostNuke, from the PHP-Nuke family, with modules and blocks and themes, banners.php and bannersblocks.php, an admin directory, mainfile.php, a language folder, a sql folder, and my own Arzynik theme that I kept bumping through versions 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10.

I added my own stuff too: trackhack.php, tracklink.php, tracktest.php, popupads.js, ip.php. I was tracking visitors and serving my own ads on a personal site that barely had any visitors, mostly because I liked building that stuff. There was also a download page where I gave away small Visual Basic utilities.

It started in late July 2002. In the end index.php was just a header redirect to arzdev.com. I'd gone from a personal portal to a business with a domain, and instead of taking the old site down I pointed it at the new one.
