CSS and other tutorials

I found the W3Schools Online site when checking out a blog that showed up in our Truefresco Referrer.

Blogs, Writing and Education

I read Blogging by Biz Stone and enjoyed it. I have been waiting for his new book, Who Let The Blogs Out, to appear in local bookstores. I liked this review at Cafenut.

Writing is a passion of mine and I like finding good articles dealing with the topic. I found this article by Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti quite enlightening.

Both Shahid (Cafenut) and Sadi are members of Geek2Geek. Lou and I are also members.

In December I wrote a post called Blogging in School 2 and mentioned Will Richardson and his blogs. He maintains a list called The Read Write Web in Schools and lists The Demo Blog. We're not a school but we do teach and learn together. It is nice to be recognized.

Read Me - Leon's OPB Theme Proposal For February

The theme is Read Me - ie any type of reading material, or location. We could have a mini scavenger hunt and ask for pictures of newspapers, magazines, books, bookcases/collections, bookstores (with pics of books). The first three should be things you have/are/planning to read. Use existing pics but look for new ones.

Members without cameras can check out creative commons pics at flickr if they participate.

TTLB And February Theme For Our Photoblog

TTLB

This post is an answer in part to Lou's last post. I added TTLB to the sidebars of this blog and Our Photoblog. We are back to being microbes in the evolutionary tree but we have to start somewhere. Thanks Lou.

February Theme

Some of the suggestions passed about during IM include: Books, Spring, Travel.

Travel - I won't have a holiday for months now so this topic wouldn't be much fun for me.

Spring - If we wait until March we could really celebrate Spring since the official start is March 21st.

Books - I suggested this one in part because I know many of us are book nuts and have pictures or large collections to photograph. As I thought of this I modified my idea to encompass reading in general. I will post my proposal in the next post.

The only other idea that pops in my head is Valentine's Day.

So think of a theme and we will vote on it.

Leon, do you think we should add TDB and OPB to the TTLB Ecosystem? Just follow the link and fill out the info to do it.

HOT SWIMMING

I finished designing my swim team's website. All that is left is adding the content. Tell me how I did, I designed the whole thing by hand using CSS (yes I am learning!) and HTML. I am proud of my self.

Edit
Sorry, forgot the site

Happy Holidays!

Hope you all had a happy holiday time. But I have a QUESTION. Does anyone know how to make like a rotating thing for a bannder ad. Like if I wanted to have a banner randomly displayed and linking to a site. Any ideas? Thanks.

Photoblog Theme For January.

This month's theme at Our Photoblog is "I'm Hungry". Drop in and share a snack!

Captain Crunch Is Back!

David and I managed to get his blog back in action. Teamwork pays off! Of course I am using his account to post this.

Check out Gale's Test blog to see how her Whale Tales blog will look.
