Almost done…

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Well, other than trying to figure out what to write on the “About” page, I’m almost done putting the site up. I have all of my portfolio pieces ready, just need to write up the XHTML for them.

This project has refueled my hatred for Internet Explorer 6. Double margin float bugs. Grr.

Also upgraded to WordPress 2.5… Major overhaul on the admin area design. I think I liked the last design a little better and I’m a bit annoyed that I have to relearn where everything is. Oh well. Not much I can do except not update (which is very tempting, seeing how slow my FTP has been lately).

If work is as slow next week as it was at the end of this week, I should be done by the end of next week. Woohoo! So exciting.

Until then, I’ll be helping my sister pack and move tomorrow. :) Can’t wait!

Sixteen days

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

I have sixteen more days before I fail my “easy” goal of putting up my newly designed website by the end of this month. It was almost a whole month ago that I set that goal!

Here’s the thing - it had been slow at work. All the design that I had created by that point had been created while there was no billable work to be done. I have to say, I’m pretty happy with the way that the design turned out. If I stop blogging and start cutting up my site, I could at least have a new theme for my blog done by the end of the day. For some reason I find the thought of cutting up my design on my laptop daunting. Maybe it’s because the monitor I’ve been using at work has spoiled me - it’s way bigger.

I’m going to stop complaining and start working.
