so i’m only taking two classes this semester (and working 20 hours), but i’m also striving to give myself a little self-led crash course that could be titled “stuff i should know about web design, but am forced to admit that i don’t (and i damn well better get over it)”
first on the syllabus is the development of a less-scattered understanding of css, and that’s what i’ve been tackling for the last few weeks, with the help of this book i bought. i’m a bit intimidated by how well this has gone so far, and am afraid that the next topics i have outlined for myself (php/mysql and then javascript) won’t bode as well, since they’re more complicated.
but anyway, apart from giving me the ability and confidence to tinker with the skin on which this blog is based, i decided that the best first project to tackle with my new knowledge was the monstrosity that i had inherited when i signed on to be part of the beacon steering committee at church (and admitted that i wasn’t afeared of the internets).
now it looks like this.
it took about a half an hour to shift from one to the other when i finally sat down to do it, and though i’m not done yet, the whole affair still pleases me.
