Happy Valley Heroes

Not resting on my laurels, I present the latest addition to my blogging empire.

Happy Valley Heroes – a site dedicated to athletic accomplishments of past and present Nittany Lion athletes, teams, alumni, and coaches.

I’m still tweaking this somewhat but I consider it at least ready for a public beta. I use each one of these sites as a learning opportunity to pick up a few more skills. With this one, I easily got further down into the site and template code than I ever have before. I had to do a fair amount of tweaking to get the site navigation as dynamic as it is. For someone that basically knows very little about php coding, I’m pretty proud of the way things have worked out.

I still need to add more content before I’ll be happy enough for a total public release. I want to make sure that there’s at least something there for every PSU sport so I’m going to go back through the season for each of them and pull out a highlight or two.

Lex at Red Sox v Yankees

Lex and I went to the first of a 4-game series Thurs night. Lex’s first night game and first Red Sox game (he learned some new swear words.) We were both really pumped for the evening. Got there very early, in time to watch all of batting practice. Went to the outfield wall to try to catch a ball. Didn’t, altho a ball nearly caught us. Drank soda, ate Cracker Jack, Foot-Long Hot Dogs, Cotton Candy and Lemonade Sherbet. Priceless.

One problem, the Yankees never showed up: 7-0.
