Must Be A Pony in There

Making Progress with Website Development

Host — Wed, 19 May 2010 02:30:38 +0000

I have learned a lot these past few months. I actually can look at CSS and tell what’s going on. I can even write it, although I’m still working on the fine tuning. Now Php, that’s a whole other horse. Everyone says it’s easy, and I believe them, but I tell you the syntax, with [...]

Critter Creep

Host — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:12:29 +0000

Ah Spring! Ah, NOT! Man, the cold went away, the sun came out, and so did the critters. All the creeping crawling ones, the scurrying furry ones, the flying, nesting, noisy ones.

Ok, I don’t dislike nature’s creatures. What I do dislike is when they invade my space. I live in a house with a [...]

My Employment Status

Host — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:42:28 +0000

So far, I’ve managed to keep my head above water since I quit my job in December. It’s amazing what you can do without when you just have a few dollars to work with. I’ve cut back on a few things. I don’t eat out. I cook, and I make sure I have leftovers. [...]

Weaving Dreams

Host — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:15:16 +0000

I quit my teaching job in December. I have been on the computer almost night and day since then, studying, practicing, trying to get better at CSS code, graphic arts, and Dreamweaver. I’m making huge progress.

I have my learning style down to a science. I read, watch videos, and practice. Then I do it [...]

Web Lessons

Host — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:49:08 +0000

This constantly evolving animal cannot be tamed. There are always so many new things to learn, updated coding, and new processes. And then there are the ever looming standards, which means that some of what I learned about HTML years ago is no longer applicable.

Change can be good. I’m not resistant to change. [...]

Welcome

Host — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:07:44 +0000

Welcome!

Stay awhile. I write about life as it happens. I invite you to comment, because I know life is happening to you too. I also write about some of the things that hold my attention, such as – all things computer-related, writing, art, particularly digital art. I plan to talk about my efforts to tackle [...]

What I was planning to do…

Host — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 08:20:48 +0000

Was write a post on my recent forays into managing this blog and a couple of other sites. That was before I crashed this site. *poof* it disappeared. It was already after 12am when this happened. I had planned to come in here, write a quick post, and be in bed by 12:30. (I stayed [...]

A Month Later

Host — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 05:51:23 +0000

I call it a month, because my official last day of school was right before Christmas Break. Well, there were those few hours I went in on the 4th of January, but that was for me. The staff was having their big ‘back-to-school’ meeting, and I didn’t have to go. Y’ay! Instead, I stayed in [...]

I Cry for Haiti

Host — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:44:57 +0000

It’s breaking my heart. I watched a video report from Kati Couric that effectively reduced me to tears. I’d been watching videos and looking at pictures since this catastrophe happened, but there was something about that video that was just heart wrenching.

The suffering is massive – seemingly more than the heart can bare. Those Haitian [...]

Just another Wordpress day

Host — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:11:30 +0000

I have spent the better part of the past week going over features and techniques for Wordpress and the theme Thesis. I like Wordpress. I especially like Thesis. I’m putting together a couple of websites, and I started with Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver’s ok, although, honestly, I have not worked through all that it can do. So [...]
