Loving both atm.

I have been struggling terribly using notepad to do web design with CSS and the thought of CSS + PHP was starting to stress me out a bit. But as I am working through the very encouraging tutorials in Dreamwever 8: The Missing Manual, I have begun to believe it won’t be so bad. In a couple of  days when I finish reading the book, I will take a stab a creating a new template for this blog. Then onto some Joomla templates and maybe an OS Commerce template. Fun stuff.

I changed my gmail password last night, and I don’t remember it. But when I ask for a reminder, it doesn’t get sent to me.

Oh, well, I only had 2 messages.

I did like the name though.

Bummer.

I just can’t seem to make up my mind. I keep tinkering with the colors and CSS sheet.

I did find a CSS validator at CSSCheck. Boy, did I have a lot of mistakes / warnings…

Now all I need to do is figure out how to get this to look more or less reasonable in IE on Windows and Macintosh, Safari and Mozilla/Firefox. Not usre how close I can get it, as it seems IE handles padding & margins diffrently than anyone esle. (What’s that? Microsoft doing something different than everyone else? I am SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell you…)

Hmm, updating the CSS style sheet. Loads of fun…err…publish & reloads…hehe

Create a file like menu.html :

document.write("Home The main page of the site-- a jumping-off point, as it were-- and not actually a picture of our house")
document.write("Links A collection of things which interest me, and might interest you")
document.write(" My (occaisonally) current view of the World and events in them.")In the displayed web page, do this:



 I got many ideas, and the great sample source for this change from css/edge by Eric A. Meyer. Good stuff.

I also used a variation of this on my church’s web site: Victory Baptist Church.

I really am beginning to like CSS for website design. It has made the template for this page much shorter, esp. since I am using SSI to handle the contents of the sidebars. Cool stuff.

Sill have some defects to work off, though. Hmm…
