Who else would work hours and hours for 30c ??

hehe, I have spent literally hours and hours trying to get some sort of working dynamic buttons on the Aardvark topsites script. It seems there is some issue with the cache. I just couldn't get it to work properly with dynamic buttons, they would show but then they wouldn't update so I went about searching for another topsite script.

Evotopsites was that script! I am a member of blogtopsites and I noticed that they didn't have any trouble with the dynamic buttons so I set about downloading the script but when you visit the publishers site, the button for downoading produces a 404 error. It seems nowhere on the internet has a hosted version to download either !! arrgh. :-)

I found a way to get it though!

yey!! ... you would think.... but no...

now I have to contend with a "permission denied" when I try and run the setup script. I did all the chmod's correctly, I tried and tried, different directories, diferrent chmods and finally I found out that my server doesn't allow a chmod of 777, it can only do as much as 755 which it turns out - is good enough!!

yey again!! .... you would think... but no...

now the evotopsites script works as admin but the public facing page blanks when the "register" button is clicked. damn.

although.... after much fiddling of buttons, I was able to revert it to an old template and now ...

it works!!

You can see it here.. Lottery Topsites
I think I'll see if I can change the layout later, right now I am pleased I got the bloody thing working.

and finally, adsense news...

The past 2 days have been a bit paupery, sub 50c days. Today I saw I had 4 clicks...but, they added up to 4c hehehe. never mind, this whole adsense journey is teaching me some good tricks
