It’s been a very long time since i played with HTML. October of 2003 i really dug in to CSS for a day in order to make some HTML reports for work. And that’s been it.

So, i’m collecting links as i try to make a CDR wedding photo album for L & T.

Font sampler: http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/index.shtml — what’s common on Windows, Mac, and Unix platforms. Includes samples. Since i migrated Windows fonts to my Mac, i’m well supported.

Windows fonts: http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html & http://www.pleasantscounty.net/misc/fonts.html

Free fonts: http://www.abstractfonts.com/fonts/ (Would you ask someone to install a font from a CDR?)

CSS: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/ — basic reference

CSS: http://www.csszengarden.com/ … http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/001/001.css&page=1 — inspiration

CSS: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Style.html — link colors. Note that if one leaves the class statements w/o assigning them to the a element, one can create really annoying flashing text.

CSS: http://css.nu/articles/layer-examples.html — box layout

Style switcher: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ — VERY COOL

Colors: http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/big.html — you can pick a palette and see how text in the olor colors appears on each swatch.

HTML: http://www.style-sheets.com/html_tutorial/index.asp — up-to-date guide

In the past few weeks, i’ve mainly been using our digital camera. I regret that i did not pack the camera accesibly on our flight east, because the views from the plane around Houston at sunset were magnificent. (I would have likely taken some of those blue-cast photos of Lake Powell, too.)

Once we were in North Carolina, i was almost obsessive. I took almost two hundred photos of the preparations for Laura & Todd’s wedding. Thirty document Mom’s work on their wedding cake. In the math of photography, quantity eventually begets quality, and there are some well done photos. The album retains many photos of less than ideal quality, though, for their documentary value.

I also shot a round of photos when i walked home, my first day back to work. The fennel, cat tails, and thistles were lovely; the snowy egret was not cooperative. I restrained myself from picking a bouquet for my dining room and made up for it with photos.

A mysterious envelope was in my mailbox when i returned home from an 11 day trip: two ATC jam cards from Tracy & Geri. I’m not sure how or why i was added to the jam list. I’m not sure to whom i should send the cards next.

At least it was the correct address.

*ponder*

A newcomer to the Yahoo ATC-Hub (which has been so very quiet) posted a link to his (wonderful) work yesterday. He incorporates haiku and photography or watercolors together — and my immediate reaction was jealousy. I’d had a poetry professor discourage me from that years and years ago.

Now i understand that discouragement, but i realize i’ve incorporated it so deeply into myself.

I will work to overcome that internal negative message — but not this month!
