Peace Be to the Style Sheets and the Citrus

Sunday, March 13th, 2005

I’m happy to say that the Yggdrasil system of sub-classing of my web page (to provide the previous white and grey theme) has been able to provide me with a complete redesign with cascading style sheets only changing two piece of markup in my page. Originally, they were marked up incorrectly. Now, however, it is possible to switch style sheets with the Page Style option in Firefox’s View menu. This is very exciting for me.

I meant to write Ronda’s next XHTML lesson, but got caught up in writing a new stylesheet this evening, instead. I think if I just wrote them a little more frequently, I’d really have a better grasp on them and get results a lot faster. Generally, I know what I’m doing, but I run into stumbling blocks as I’m not perfect on the class model that CSS provides.

However, as I’ve just gotten this accomplished, it gives me a better sense of confidence in writing an XHTML course for Ronda.

What’s Easiest

I cleaned out my e-mail box. Excitement abounds. Thanks be to the new install of Thunderbird at work for detecting approximately 50% of the spam that I had without having been trained on junk mail detection. Having trained it on so many messages, the accuracy will only improve.

I did not mention that yesterday I spent approximately 25% of the day being an administrator for a system that should not need an administrator. However, people wanted to bypass about a million things, so that’s what happened.

I have no idea what’s on the agenda for this weekend. I’m thinking some Star Ocean, and some Internet time. On the social side, I’ll just go with whatever happens as that’s easiest.
