general thoughts – and lot’s of links
Tech stuff:
I have been working on this website and some others,
getting a handle on some pretty cool technologies I need to understand.
This is all part of my desire to simplify my web design process in light of
the advances in the state of browsers these days. Generally speaking, I have
decided to
require modern, standards compliant browsers to view my sites. Along the
way I am hoping to
do my part to clean up the way the web is built.Generally speaking, this means I will be using
CSS to handle the vast majority of my formatting and layout. In fact I
will be using it for almost everything except absolute positioning issues.
Those I will probably still handle with tables because they are a cleaner
implementation of such things in my mind right now. Who knows, that
could change in the future as well.I admit though, I haven’t yet found a compelling reason to skip using a
hybrid CSS/Table page layout formula for now, it degrades well and is still
fairly flexible. Combined with the template abilities of
Dreamweaver it seems to be a good compromise.While we are talking, I am going to be using some more of the HTML stuff
here. For example, if you hover over the links you will now find out a little
bit of where the link will take you.
Covetous is I:
I was looking around the web and found some really cool stuff for
Poser I covet. They updated the
clothing for Victoria II and that is really going to be a big help when I
get my hands on it. Hopefully in a week or so I will be able to order it. This
should go a long way to helping with some upcoming work.While I was digging the stuff out in the Poser world I came across this
Cyborg model. How cool! I can think of a thousand uses for this thing. It
even has
accessories. Way cool.
More later! Enjoy!
