Well, I have managed to convert most of the old site pages over and have some of the rudimentary new pages online too. More content work to come of course. Have heard little or no comments about the redesign though most people probably haven’t seen it yet.
Leslie & I are heading out to Illinois to spend the week with my family so expect no updates until we get back. Hope you all have an enjoyable and relaxing holiday.
And now we try again. New layout, less dependance on fonts you may or may not have, and hopefully some neat features.
A couple things I have noticed right off the bat:
1. The headline gathering script is sloooow. If I can find a new one I will load it in quickly.
2. Netscape really hates the table I have the text in. I’ve tried forever to keep a format that works across all browsers so I’ll either try to fix it or just learn to live with it.
3. Netscape also hates the menu system. Do NOT resize the page until the menu loads or it will crash your browser window.
4. Half of the links go to really, really dead or non-existent pages. I actually have content for most of them. I just have to convert it over. In the meantime most of our “friends” pages are working.
A couple links to pass along from friends and the like:
The Belief-o-matic, a way to see what religion your beliefs may concide with. Kind off an odd way to check your head.
Slate brings an alternate view of Harry Potter.
An one of those articles I keep going back to which is one man’s view of how we could be planning to combat terrorism. Can’t say I agree with all of it, but it does give some food for thought.
Looking forward to making it home for Thanksgiving in a few weeks.
Tom should be making it home in a couple weeks too.
Jason and Ruth are expecting. I figure I can announce this as most people who would know them probably already know. And for those who didn’t…consider yourself informed.
May have a new site design coming up too. (Hehe, already did that.)
