thoughts and musings ... odds and endsTags: html15 February 2008 When Papa Bear didn't show a player embedded I just HAD to try it for myself. HTML geek that I am, I have a stash of secrets culled from countless hours of combing thru YH360 pages on the subject of HTML! 06 February 2008
OK...so when I set out to learn HTML I figured "I used to do programming...how hard can this be? I mean... REALLY..." (read with heavy sarcastic sigh) "...it's just "programming" for webpages right?" Yup! That's right! And HTML is just as picky as every other computer language I can no longer fluently type.

I have several things planned for my site. In addition to the same types of regular page updates I've already been doing I plan on linking a few "sub pages" to the main ones.

I've spent the last 2 weeks working on truly learning HTML, a little CSS & just enough JavaScript to manipulate a couple things I needed to. Up until now, I'd cut & pasted code into my 360 for a few cool effects, but that was it. This has been quite an experience. And I thought learning to play Canasta was tough!

I really enjoy playing with HTML code in YH blogs. If for no other reason, it offers some visual distraction from the occasionally lackluster content of a particular entry (yah...like this one!) I’ve had trouble with this fixed border code ever since the first time I used it. It worked like a charm initially...before I decided to start perfecting it. But once I started chopping and destroying...I mean cutting and pasting...it’s been mucked up ever since. I’ve come to the conclusion it makes sense to try and actually understand at least a little of the code prior to altering or deleting parts of it. NOTE: I'm not even going to try and display the fixed border in here. First - the column would be reduced to virtually nothing except border, and second - I don't feel like going thru the effort of figuring out how to get it to work in b2evolution. My apologies in advance if this happens to bother anyone...but perhaps I'll do it on some other page on my site...just not here.

As I often do, I scrolled through my saved links & noticed I’ve quite a few I haven’t shared yet. I thought perhaps I’d do a quick blog & post a few. As always – these are all free sites. Enjoy!

Once upon a time, in a land far away (HTMLand) There lived an intelligent, charming, beautiful, powerful…darn got carried away there…sorceress. She’d studied the powerful magic of HTML for many weeks (I know years would sound better, but it just isn’t so) and after many zen-like hours, eyes glued to her laptop, surfing from site to site by the light of her 15” display, discovered a mystical secret of this not-so-ancient code. She vowed to keep this secret, revealing it only when it suited her purposes best.

I was so proud of myself a few months ago when I added a photo album to my 360. Amazingly, it was really simple. Alas, nothing easy stays for long! A friend mentioned YH Photos was going to shut down. WHAT?! I investigated & sure enough, since YH owns both YH Photos & Flickr - they've decided to kill one site. Looks like YH Photos must've drawn the short straw. The funeral will be sometime this fall, leaving plenty of time to move pictures to another site. Once it's buried, so are your photos, if you don't move them beforehand.
