Such Is My Life
 
About Me

A place to express my thoughts and just ramble. As an amature web designer and writer, there seems so much to learn. By having a blog, I can organize my thoughts, get feedback, and get rid of the junk that flutters around in my head.

10/19/2005 - CSS and My Coaches
Posted in The Artist In Me

I haven't been around here much for the past 2 weeks because I've been focusing on learning CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). For those of you who don't know what CSS is for, my brief description --

Having an organized HTML document is almost impossible when you have everything right in the body of it. Also, if you want people to be able to view your pages right in most types of browsers (Internet Explorer, Foxfire, Opera, etc), CSS is the way to go. CSS is placed before the body of the page between the end title tag and the end head and can define and position most elements on the web page. CSS can also be a seperate document with a link to it before the body.

Because of short-term memory loss due to my disability, it's been difficult for me to learn most things no matter what the subject is. At first I tried to learn this CSS stuff on my own. BIG MISTAKE. I would get so confused and most sites that have free tutorials don't have what I would call competent writers.

 

Then a lady at Graphic Buds offered to help me. Her name on the web is Miss B who makes me think of a teach I once had so I was definately receptive to her offer. I was still getting confused sometimes so I went to the forum of my host site and asked for some help. A wonderful man who goes by "gdls" on the web came to my rescue. Between messages flying back and forth with gdls and the great examples Miss B is sending me, I am slowly learning CSS.

 

Of course, because of this new way of doing web pages, I'm revamping my site offline again. *grin*

Hey there . . . How sweet of you to call me your "coach". I don't consider myself a coach, or even an expert, I'm still learning CSS too . . . I've just been doing it a little longer, so it seems like I know more. I'm sure before long you'll catch up and maybe even teach me a thing or two ~grin~
