Yes, I know there’s a weird space on the top of the blog page, and yes I see the weird margin thingy below my header, and NO I don’t know why it’s happening! YES that IS a big damn button, and NO it won’t stay like that (for very long)! I think it’s kinda funny.
It’s right there in front of my face, and I can’t see it. I smell it, and I can hear it laughing, but I can’t do anything about it. So dramatic! Anyway, I’ve made huge strides since I started w/ MT, and I think that my blog is looking rather dapper. I started researching people that have created an entire site w/in the MT .cgi compound, but I need to do other things before I think about that. I still have to finish the regular part of the portfolio before I attach it to MT just for self-aggregation (another thing your mom warned you about).
I need to learn more about PHP so I can place some of my images in the upper right banner space. I think it would be nice to have them rotate every time you log on or change pages. But I have to database them first, and I don’t know that just yet. I have to finalize the works page before anything. That thing is a disaster so far.
Other changes: added a cheat script from a site called RSS to JavaScript so I could provide the feed from my blog on the home page of my portfolio. It’s a sweet solution, but it has that damn link to their site, and you can’t get rid of it. Yet another thing I need to learn. Everytime you learn something new in coding, it brings you into another whole world of pain!
I’ve finally subscribed to a feed aggregator (NewsGator), it was about time. Plus I’m finally burning Artboredom w/ FeedBurner, so I’ll hopefully have it active on my site soon. The new blog under MT has been claimed at Technorati so make me your favorite, please! I should probably do that for my favorites too. I know there’s some other things I’ve been up to lately but I can’t remember them now. There are a couple of hot 2.0 apps that I’m going to give a try, and I’ll let you know how those go. I’m pretty excited about them.

I’m starting to marvel at the sheer amount of work I’ve been producing in the past week. It’s affected my posting at Cycleboredom, but that’s going to start seeing more changes since I’m migrating. I’m not going to be hasty w/ this one; I want the design to be spot on the first time anyone sees it on MT.
I’ve uploaded the raw pages for my portfolio redesign. Normally one wouldn’t do this but I desperately wanted to take off my previous edition. All the links on the navigation work, but you really can’t go anywhere after that. I haven’t really changed the pages too much and you’l notice that I’ve used one page to create another, so there’s overlapping content. Not too pretty, but I’m getting there.
The impetus behind this was getting this blog up and running in the shortest possible time. It’s nearly a seamless integration into my existing pages, w/ a few glitches I need to iron out (their code, not mine; but it is my lack of knowledge…).
This is what I was envisioning for Artboredom 6 years ago. I wanted a platform to show both my personal and professional work. I also wanted for it to be a place where a dialogue could be started on anything art related. I’m not all code and stylesheets; I have a longer background in Fine Art and it’s only a matter of time until I can get that online (me painting again!).
Whether or not I can get this to click w/ others I’ll have to wait and see. Actually since I’m working on that everyday, I’d have to say there isn’t any waiting. It’s not just going to happen by itself!

Coding before bed.
What I’ve learned so far is that one, my stylesheet code isn’t the leanest, and I’m really starting to hate bunch rules for headers and body text. I know that it’s one of the major benefits of CSS and the parent/child relationship to have less rules that can style everything, but is there […]
Coding before bed.
What I’ve learned so far is that one, my stylesheet code isn’t the leanest, and I’m really starting to hate bunch rules for headers and body text. I know that it’s one of the major benefits of CSS and the parent/child relationship to have less rules that can style everything, but is there a reason that everything has to look the same?
I’ve been reading a lot lately about how hemogenous the web is becoming (I’ll have PLENTY to say about that forthcoming) and I feel that following the guidelines too strictly is partly the reason. LIke I said, more later.
I’m new to a lot of this, and I’ve definitely come into web/graphic design from left field, but I don’t want all my links and all my header/body text to look the same. If I use a [p] tag in the left column, I don’t want it to look the same as my post text. I think that’s ridiculous and extremely limiting. There has to be more dynamicism than that. Everyone talks about how CSS is the genesis for dynamic and rich web design, but more often than not it seems that we box ourselves in. This doesn’t apply to everyone, and I understand this is a broad generalization, but it is something that I’ve been experiencing lately.
And I had to bitch.
