Teaching myself about DIV and SPAN

I’m so far behind on CSS style page design, but my excuse is:  I don’t do this for a living.  So here are a few notes on things that I’ve been reading about the last few on CSS and DIV/SPAN tags.
I found a ton of useful tutorials over at HTML Dog.  Here are a few [...]


Project Diary: XTools [1]

Finally started serious work on my Xtools projects.  Xtools is the nickname I’ve given to the project to convert all of my Meridian/Succession Parse utilities to be web enabled.  Once completed, I’ll have a fully functional, multi-user death star…  I mean management interface for handling all of the customer information I’ll ever come across.
Ultimately, I [...]


Bug fixed.

Back to the current theme, must remember to backup more frequently.

Yup, you guessed it

New theme.  In less than 2 weeks I’ve revamped an existing theme in to something that I like a little better.  I’ll probably run with this one for a while.  Working on testing out the upgrade on my dev site for any bugs before upgrading and then I start with custom code.
