all done, I think!
Ok, got the skin put in place. I checked the links and they seem to work ok (so far nothing still pointing to the default pink template I had before)... Seems to look good in both Netscape 7 & IE 6. Don’t know about any other browsers, though. Let me know if anything is broken.
Now, for the details on the skin…
Graphics by me. It’s the sketch I previewed here and pleaded for help in getting the layout set up…
Well, my MIL, Traecy, came to my rescue… It’s not all CSS as I had originally was interested in using (if it was possible), but it uses a lot of it, and a couple of tables. Thank you so much!
Hmm… seems like, by the content in the post I referred to above, I owe her a dragon sculpture! Heh. In due time, I’ve got a base to finish for the gold one here, that a co-worker is interested in buying, as well as another one he ordered for his sister.
Speaking of which… I think I’ll continue to work on the base after I finish posting this. I’m interested in seeing how it turns out. I’ll definitely post photos when it’s done for you all to see!
updating…
Pardon the mess while I re-skin this place. If there is anything broken, please let me know. Thanks.
sheesh…
Cox e-mail in Arizona (maybe elsewhere, too) has been down since late last night. I think it started out as a maintenance, then it just went all wrong from there… Coming up on 24 hrs here.
On the good side, the amount of spam I’ve gotten today is at a minimum, as most of it was going to my main Cox address… on the down side, is that main account is what I use to get mail from all of our bills, from PayPal, from eBay, etc… Apparently anything that gets sent to my address in that time will probably bounce. Oh goodie.
What a pain.
it’s so catchy!
First, go to this link. It’s work safe, it’s a song done up in Flash.
If you’ve heard it before, whether you like it or hate it, it’s a catchy song. We play it once in a while here at work as a “we need a little cheering up” music.
Now here’s a secret:
heartburn….
ouchie. Chipotle is good food, but damn it’s being mean to me tonight! 😠
*\yawn/*
I just can’t stop yawning tonight. Sleepy…
Anyway, I decided to not require membership for people to comment. I figure it would probably be annoying to most people to have to do that. But, I did leave the captcha in comments on.. not that my blog gets hundreds of hits or anything, but my other one does get comment spam, and I’d like to try to keep it at a mimum here if possible. Restricted entries, of course, will require membership to read. No way around that. 😊
I know, I still have garbled crap on the right that was in the default template. I’m feeling very lazy. The skin converting is also slow going. Eventually I get it all changed over, and maybe even try to implement skinning here.. I hear it’s supposed to be fairly simple. We’ll see.
Now, to get myself motivated to work on my tickets…
countdown to nappy-time…
T-minus 15 minutes.
That’s when I get to dump all my tickets into the queues and go sit in the training room with a few of my colleagues, prop my eyelids open with toothpicks and take a nice siesta.
Seriously, though, it’s damn hard not to fall asleep sitting in a room for 4 hrs with nothing to do but listen to a trainer speak and watch a screen as he clicks through windows showing us where to go & what to do.
Yes, we do get an occassional break, but still.
At least I know I’m not alone in my sleepiness. Out of the six of us there for the training (not including the trainer), all but two of us nodded off at some point during the four hours. I think someone almost fell out of his chair because he wasn’t sitting near the table.
I always feel bad for the trainer when I can’t keep my eyes open, but I almost can’t help it. I had the same problem in school, too, and it drove my teachers batty. Especially when I was able to get A’s & B’s on the tests. Heh.
T-minus 10 minutes.
Yeah, five minutes to type this up. Shaddup. I’m multi-tasking here!
Time to ditch the rest of my tickets. Yay!
owwie-oww-oww
I feel like I have a small volcano forming on my face.
but for a charity…
A co-worker here is collecting tabs.. you know, the pop-tops from soda cans.
Once upon a time it used to be a mere urban legend, that pop-tops were collected and used to help pay for sick childrens’ medical care, etc. But apparently since 1987, good ol’ McDonald’s is giving people a sense of “doing their part for charity” by accepting the collected pop-tops and taking them to recyclers. The money collected goes towards the Ronald McDonald House funds.
I was curious about the growing collection of soda tabs on my co-worker’s desk, so I read the letter that was taped to the ziplock bag that lay open & waiting for new donations… It essentially says exactly what the Snopes site above says about the collection of them for the purpose of going towards the Ronald McDonald House. Maybe not word for word, but the gist of it.
My thoughts echoed those at Snopes… collecting whole cans would be more cost effecient, and net more money. But each to his own, I guess….
welcome!
Ok, here’s the dealio.
If you want to read any restricted entries, you have to register.
To post comments, you have to register, although I may just change that to only requiring a captcha, depending on if I get any grumblings about having to register to comment.
There is a catch, to read my restricted entires. Right now I have new registerees being able to self-activate their new accounts at Prismatic Dragon. I have, by default, set new members to be put under one specific “member category”. However, that category is not able to read restricted entries, I have that set as another category, which, once I see a new member sign up, if they request access to the restricted entries, I will change the category their membership is under.
Oh, and if you register for my blog here, and you also read my husband’s blog, you do not have to register for each one. Since it’s under the same installation of EE, one registration works at both blogs.
In order to be granted access to read restricted entries, I have to know you personally, or at least know you by your blog. If you’re new and I haven’t read your blog yet, be sure to include your URL and give me some time to peruse your site and decide on whether to grant you access to my restricted entries. Don’t be offended if I decide not to grant you access, I don’t want everyone in the world to see them, that’s why they’re restricted. 😜
I haven’t set Josh’s site up yet for restricted entries, he hasn’t told me yet if he wants them implemented. But I’m sure he’ll let his readers know when he does decide.
I think that’s about it for now. I may post something in my restricted category soon, depending on my workload.
toodles.
