Playing

Okay, so I've been getting a little jealous of all the blogging going on. And I want to say stuff, but have been swamped... er, overwhelmed at all the projects that have yet to get done. More on the projects later.

Anyway, here I am starting yet another project, and already I don't like where this is headed. Let me tell you. The one thing that really, REALLY annoys me are blog postings that are optimized for an 800x600 screen resolution. Good Grief! Most of you out there, if you don't have a flat panel monitor have a 17" or 19" CRT monitor. Their native resolution is 1024x768. If you have a flat panel, it is likely 1024x768, 1280x1024, or something higher. If you have a widescreen flat panel, it is likely 1440x900 or 1280x960. As you can see, none of these are even close to 800x600.

Why am I complaining about this? It's because when I view a post, it is usually accompanied with pictures... which is great. What isn't great is that I get 2 or 3 words at most per line.




So you
get this
much
text per
line.
It just
doesn't
work.

Anyway, I'm going to hijack my wife's page and upload a treat for everybody. Her link is to the right. Enjoy.

I'll eventually fix this layout or create my own... this width issue stinks.

Update: Okay, the width looks fine. But this template had a nice little shading thing going on. I need to bring that out again. Be careful! I just learned what CSS is and I'm not afraid to use it!

Fun! Another blog to read! I'll tell you that I didn't intend to post that video without looking at it first.
