I had written about the help Miss B in a prevous post entitles "CSS and My Coaches". I know that she didn't mind being called a coach because she sent me a message in the forum of the group we both belong to. I hope she wasn't affended by the comment about her reminding me of a teach I had once in my past.

Actually, I don't think of Miss B as any age, and instead, think of her in terms of intelligence and sensitivity. Her passion seems to be with the visual arts although her level of writing has a tendency to make me think that she's also a stickler for details and being concise. Her website is done in hues the red which indecates to me that she has loads of self-confidence. Miss B also seems to be quite independent. A quality I wish I had more of. She has "spoken" her mind in the forum of Graphic Buds and has done it in such a way so that no one is affended -- at least to my knowledge.

Miss B likes herself and doesn't seem to dislike anyone she associates with. In other words, she's a real cool lady.

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*

I have had a web site since May 2005. I closed it temperarily in September to work on the graphics and layout, and to upgrade the html format to 4.1 Transitional. It is now re-opened for visitors to browse through. Just click below.
