Enjoyed your take on Dr. Paige, i liked him when he was running our Houston ISD and even better when he took the job in the Bush cabinet, tho’ it would probably take many lifetimes of effort to dent the pernicious influence of the NEA on our public schools.

Hey, Sis! Congrats on your new place. I’m so excited to be able to share in it with you. I also love being one of the first 50 here to celebrate with you…Lol. Better late than never.

Seriously, this looks very nice. I am jealous of small print – it looks so post-modern. But am convinced someday we will all regret it…

I noticed you’ve been tweaking your CSS even as we comment. I know I’ve had my share of frustration making my vision translate to on-screen reality.

Where time (web developing) is money, I’d like to recommend a possible solution. If you haven’t experimented with Mozilla lately, you really ought to tryout their new, and free, Firefox 0.9 browser–it ain’t your Mozila/Netscape of old, and it isn’t security-flawed like Internet Explorer.

Anyway, Firefox is lightweight (4.7 MB) and barebones browser only, yet conforms with W3C standards. The kicker is you can then download various, and free, extensions, and in this case, you certainly want to download an extension called Web Developer. By right-clicking on the page you want to analyze, you can toggle around 50 switches to see exactly which piece of CSS/Javascript is operating on any section or all of a webpage.

Most of debugging results show up inline on the very webpage itself, while the rest will open a new window/tab. For example, you can see which “margin” or “padding” takes precedence over a particular element. In short, it’s like a mechanic having X-ray vison to diagnose an engine.

Bear in mind that the majority of surfers use Internet Explorer and M$ has a habit of doing things their own way–so what displays fine in one won’t necessarily do so in the other. But as troubleshooting goes, Web Developer is fast & excellent.

Personally, I’ve always been skeptical of Mozilla/Netscape, although I’d give each major release a try before going back to IE. This time, I really think it’s a keeper.

Can’t find the RSS feed to the blog (there’s no link behind it).

I want to update my blogroll… but can’t…
