I have just spent the last 11 hours coding the front page of my website. It finally looks like I want it to, and I guess eventually I'll have to put it up on geocities or something so I can show off the fruits of my labor. I've visited a couple other 'Guide to Las Vegas' sites, namely Las Vegas Mikey's, and wow, these folks go all out. I just don't have the time or motivation. I have a hard enough time just coming up with something to do for most of my school papers & projects. It's so much easier for me when I have a pre-formed subject. But, if today was any indication, my web site has 8 pages, so only 7 more days of hard coding to go.
Today I learned about image maps, yay! I also never want to hear Elvis Presley belt out Viva, Las Vegas! ever again. It's playable on the front page of my website. I decided to be kind and embed it in the webpage so people could shut the friggin' thing off - that and the streaming music didn't seem to work, but I don't remember if I turned my computer's sound off before or after I tried the looping thing. I found a good picture of the Las Vegas sky, just daytime sky with a good cloud for my header, and added site navigation bars to each page. I've come to realize after hours of searching that 'forward' and 'back' buttons are beyond my meager programming skills. Anyone who visits my page will have to suffice with their browser's buttons for forward/backward navigation. My Creating Web Pages for Dummies book came with a PhotoShop Pro teaser... I want, but cannot afford, PaintShop and PhotoShop badly.
I forgot to call the physical therapist, so I have to do that first thing when I wake up tomorrow. I thought I would end up having to wheel myself around the house on one of our office chairs today. My left leg feels like it's trying to knot up into a savage charlie horse any minute, and it's been like that since I went to bed yesterday morning. My armpits hurt & my arms are shaky. I kind of over-exerted myself yesterday. It's gotten better as far as the pain, but I'm still wobbly. Getting to the bathroom is an exercise in will-power.
I don't know why, but this house smells kind of jungly atm. It's now mingled with Rob's tuna fish sandwich, so the whole thing has a beastial, sweaty, brothel-y odor to it. Ugh. Maybe I can get him to open the door for awhile.
