I'm a really bad consistent blogger, but I usually blog all of my trips/vacations (Like last summer, I blogged the stuff I did to get my Pilots License; it was fun!). This summer, I'll be blogging my Australia trip. If anyone want to see it, let me know.

And I'm still a HTML/CSS fiend. Recently I've been doing some developing with PHP....and I do amateur graphic/web design

I don't blog about my life because I really don't have time to delve into that sea of information. However, the Inter-Residence Councilhas a blog which will be updated each week.

This thread is about blogs and the IRC has one. I find it perfectly relevant. Also, the IRC is beneficial to residence students so tell me what the harm is in keeping them informed.

I have a blog of my own, and also contribute to one on the Globe Campus called From Class to Career.

Man, I wish I knew how to properly do stuff with CSS and HTML.

At my work all they have me doing is stuff with MySQL, Javascript, JSPs, PHP and a billion retarded Java frameworks like "Spring" and "Faces".

I can make a webpage... just can't make it look good :p

so use photoshop to make a sweet template and then chop it up/code it in dreamweaver, i think it has like options where you don't even need to know the coding and it will do it for you.

i use to make websites back in the day lol but i forget everything.

Pardon the standard layout. I'm lazy.


And in terms of Photoshop coding your layout for you, when you use the slice tool, just go to "Save For Web" and make sure "Save Images and HTML" is selected. Insta layout, with a little bit of modification required.

Heh, wow, I never thought of just doing that. That certainly is a lot easier :p.

All the websites they make at where I work are covered in flash animations and crazy things like that, lol.

I had a Xanga years ago that I've since deleted which was largely uninteresting.

Other than facebook, I don't really blog in the sense that I don't make lengthy observations or descriptions of my life like some bloggers do.
