p>For the last couple of days now, the site has undergone a few changes. I like the changes thus far, but more to come. The part that I think is really neat is the online catalog. I have been working exhaustively on frames. Frames are wonderful, but they limit the end-users freedom of choice. If you are on my site, then click on a link to another site, the user will see my top menu o stuff. Many sites use this to lock them to their site. I hate that, think I might add link to break out of the frame. To do this though, I would have to creat a frame that would be at the bottom of the page. Either that, or have any external link open in a new window. A lot of extra work though. Anyway, frames are great, but it requires one to manage many html files. Each frame requires it is own html file, let alone another html file to create the frame layout. It is worth it I think.

While working on frames, I found a pretty cool site with html tags in a easy to use form. It is not meant for someone new to html, but is a great reference of all html tags and their use. Check it out here. Also, I have used W3Schools as a great launching point into various parts of html. All tutorials are free to use, many tutorials on all sorts of web programming. Quite brief though. Such is life.

Have you checked the weather recently? Added that to the site on the main page. Either enter the city of your choice, or click on todays weather for Chicago area weather. Anyhew, its frickin hot in Chicago. Feel bad for those working outside, not really though. Also note that there has not been a “daily” update in about a month. I had written a few, but had trouble with tripod uploads. I now FTP them to the server, working much better. Heres a joke for you. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who dont. See ya.
