03/01/2003: "Old Blog"

I have been busy checking out XHTML with the help of my new book. I made a copy of my entire website to experiment with and the initial results are interesting. My intent is to convert the whole site to XHTML. This means learning how to use CSS and much of the HTML coding that I am used to using has to be changed. The biggest headache is that a number of the attributes that were acceptable, no longer work, making the look of the pages vary considerably. This mostly causes me to be unable (so far) to use some of the tiled background images that have been in use since day one. Once I have learned how to overcome this, the site will become far easier to update and to make visual changes, such as colour schemes.
On a lighter note, I took a bag of Mini-Eggs to work and tested them out on the truck drivers. They were very popular but will not be a regular item on the trucker's menus until Brian in Baltimore has a Dwarf Butler (See below).
I am finding it a little amusing to hear that they are having way more snow in the South-East, than we are here in Wisconsin. If you are in those parts and can't get to work, please email me and tell me how bad it is! Me and Robin could do with a good giggle!
