From my email to the new ICL webmaster dealing with Drupal 6…
Comments — so you can remove spam Content — manage all the content on the site Content types — you can make a template dedicated to different areas of the site. For instance, the blog content type usually only has a title, tags, [...]
Thomas and I went to my library and cut out the outer pieces making up my wedding dress skirt and jacket. We managed to get it done in three hours. Four of my coworkers stepped in to see our progress. I loosely pinned together the jacket so I could get a visual feel for how [...]
I also worked on creating embedded registration forms on the website for this fall’s adult technology classes (signups are next week!).

This screencap does not look like much has changed from the last post about it. However, that is deceitful since it does not reveal all the time took in trying to fix the issues with that vertical drop down menu. Namely that I want to mind the rules of good usability and have the [...]
Today was laundry and fix/finish my skirts day. I broke the zipper in the white skirt, so I had to rip out the old one and sew in the new one. Thomas finished the black skirt by putting the waistband in for me. Confession: I wore it a few times this past year with the [...]
