it once was

This has literally be on the “to-do” list for YEARS. We finally applied at the Post Office this Saturday. Now, the waiting game…

I’m doing the HTML Dog tutorials now, which I think I like better than the W3C stuff, although maybe I will go to that. My HTML and webmaster skills were gleaned from viewing source code in the mid-90’s and never really properly updated, although I still know just enough code to be dangerous.

I have to adapt to new things like a ”/>” closure on my BR and IMG tags, CSS instead of font, etc!

It’s hard to learn when you have half the information anyway, but HTML Dog is actually pretty nice. I have a company, personal and website for my DH that I can tinker with to hone my skills – too bad I always want to get over-complicated.

I feel kind of bad including so many graphic novels, but between moving and the CPL being soooooo much slower than the SFPL, my hit rate has really declined.

About 14 weeks left in the year and I’ll need to read 20 books to hit my goal. We’ll see.
