Web site progress and that book meme
Feb. 21st, 2009 07:56 pmToday was "work on the web site" day at
scotica's place. First off, I successfully reinstalled Dreamweaver on the laptop in such a way that it doesn't crash every time I open it. Then I successfully identified how to fix the bracketing error in the php code for the surviving garments search page. Yay me. (The fix is a bit clumsy, but it's invisible to the user so that doesn't matter.) It doesn't seem like a big accomplishment, but it's the momentum that counts. Now I need to get back to some fluency with php and start working on the Welsh names pages and database search.
I decided that the "books on this list that I've read" meme needs a few additional nuances, so in addition to "bold books you've read, italicize ones you started" I'm adding "put a + after books in your queue". So italics and a + means I've started it and intend to finish reading it (whereas plain italics means I gave up) and plain text with a + means the book is sitting on my "to be read" shelf. Moreover, an underline means I've seen it in dramatic form (movie, tv, etc.) whether or not I've read it. And strikethrough means I'd never heard of the book before I saw it on this list. ( Behind the cut to save your screen-space. )
