The Voodoo Empire

Archive for the ‘Voodoo Empire’ Category

I just checked out the Ohio Secretary of Stae , and my application went through.  The Empire is now officially a business.  I figured it was a good idea to actually register the name now that we have a real online presence, and we’ve been doing work and teaming up with other businesses as The Empire.  OK…..now to figure out how to actually make loot!

Wow, that was tough!  The entire Empire was brought down by a nasty little bug.  Along with all the footer spam we had been getting, every one of our php files had some sort of base64_decode commands inserted into them that was really messing up everything.  had to edit or reinstall everything.  That’s 4 wordpress sites, hundreds of plugins, the upload site, the , the forums, the wiki……everything.  It took the better part of 12 hours to recover, but it looks like we are there.  Unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to tell if we got everything…..and we have no idea how to make sure it doesn’t happen again.  But for now, enjoy everything we have to offer once again.  As always, we will stay vigilant, and continue fighting!

has been quite busy, and has had a job change at work.  So no longer can he sit at work and write code all day.  However, in between projects there has been time to do a quick facelift of the online shop.  It’s by no means complete, but it is complete enough to make the fall in line with the other sites.  The Entire Empire now has the same look and feel, along with fairly good navigation between sites, something that was lacking before!  Take a look around, maybe just check the shop, but we recommend you start at the Empire homepage, and tour all the sites!  Enjoy, and thanks for looking!

It’s the latest update in the overall overhaul of ’s online presence!  This time the Voodoo Forums have been done up!  The theme fits real nice with the look that is now present on the Voodoo Empire main site, the filesharing site, and the Blog!  All that’s left is an overhaul of the shop, and some minor details on the wiki!  Check em all out for yourself!

After launching the new Empire homepage, and adding a filesharing service skinned to match, thought it might be cool to build up a new theme for his blog.  That is what you are looking at now!  It still needs some tweaks here and there, but it’s near complete!  It fits in real well with the overall Empire feel.  Now that this site is upgraded, the previous theme will be released to the public very shortly!

This site has always had a fairly serviceable up0load feature on our upload page, found in the services tab!  It’s been kind of flaky lately, but that’s fixed now, so it can be used.  But much bigger and better news is the all new file sharing service available through the new Empire homepage.  It can be accessed directly at http://thevoodooempire.com/uploads, or simply by going to The Empire site and clicking the services tab.  It’s a fairly powerful filesharing service allowing users to upload and download files up to about 200Mb.  It has image resizing options, inline media players, automatic file zipping for downloads…..all in all, it’s pretty cool!  You do have to sign up for the service, but that’s not so bad eh?  It’s also a good way for people to get music or online they would like me to fisplay/distribute!  Enjoy the service!

It’s time to launch the new site!  It just went 5 minutes ago, and I pretty much love it!  I’m sure I’ll want to tweak a bit of the css as I look at the site a bit, and I would love to add some more complex functionality to it….but the main portion of the site is done!  Some people may not care for it so much….but I’ve got a certain style, and the design fits me quite well!  Why not check it out here and let me know what you think?

has been hunched over the warm glowing box where his Photoshop/Dreamweaver/Illustrator lives for a bit now…..and things are starting to happen.  Gone is the basic flash homepage for the Empire, and in its place a mighty fine site is growing!  You can check it out now….it’s pretty barebones, lacking much content.  But what you can see is some basic graphic design and layout for the site…and it looks pretty good.  In a couple days the first revision should be and solid!  That being said… can’t resist the opportunity to tweak, so this will probably change quite a bit over time!  Hope ya like it!
