Thanks again for the $20 Amazon gift certificate, Heather (see below). Okay, this may be a really boring choice for most of you, but I chose this one because I probably wouldn’t splurge on a book like this ordinarily.
I ordered….The CSS Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks by Rachel Andrew. I like to play with my website themes; I just love programming. Call me a total geek, but I really want to learn this stuff. So far I can manipulate other people’s code (sometimes after hours and hours of practice mistakes), but I’d like to learn more to make it easier on myself.
I’ve been playing around with my new 3-column theme (check it out!) and have had ‘issues’ over the last few days. I think I have it all sorted out now, though. You may have seen some mistakes along the way if you’ve visited recently. One of the cool things you must check out if you blog with wordpress is my new drop down navigation menu. I got it from a wordpress plug-in from Ryan Hellyer. A plug-in is where someone does the programming for you, and you just ‘plug in’ some files in your theme to make it work. I love this one-thanks, Ryan!
Needless to say, this week was a total bust for reading. Not only did I spent way too much time fooling around with my theme, but my kids were also sick, and we had contractors in to waterproof the basement. I hope to get a lot of reading in today and tomorrow.
Have a good weekend!
I think this book is a great choice! Have fun learning.
How exciting! I would really love to learn this stuff too but haven’t found the time. Next year though 2 of my 3 homeschoolers will be going to school so maybe I will find the time then. I know who to ask for tips.
I’m glad to hear you find the menu useful
You have done a nice job of making the colour scheme fit in well with your site. I’ll add your blog to my list of examples of the menu in action.
Joy and Amy, I have much to learn!
Thanks so much, Ryan!
