Life Goes On...

[femkes_follies]

Most of the resounding horrors of the past week seem to be now winding down. Which is a good thing. Eli is apparently starting to recover, though still faces more surgery on the leg and hopefully won't lose any more of it.

Rori has been a little up and down in terms of her sleep habits. Up this AM at 5, but back down at 7 - which is a good thing, since she has her infant program today. She did sign for "more" this morning, and said "mama" - though both were relatively indiscriminate rather than with distinct intent. *sigh*

I picked up the new issue of Inspirations with my JoAnn's coupon - some cute stumpwork patterns and an adorable rag dolly. Wonder if the girls would like one.

The website is turning out to be an awfully steep learning curve, but progress is being made. I've got a base template, just can't figure out how to get my graphics to display, which is irritating. *sigh* But once learned, it will be a good thing. Joomla! is a definite upswing for managing the site. I'm just being fussy and wanting it to look like MY site and not a free template.

I've been playing with free templates quite a bit but mostly in hopes of learning to write my own... my html knowledge is so out of date that I no longer feel comfortable writing pages from scratch (which is what I always used to do)... it bothers me greatly that I feel so outdated now :S

Joomla! does make things nice in that regard.

I found a "bare bones" template with code but no styling. I'm better with CSS than with HTML. Unfortunately, the php expressions confuse me as to what goes where and now to insert HTML into the page so that I have something TO style. That, and this template includes drop down menus, which I don't think I want. And I can't figure out which code specifically pertains to that and only that, so I'm not sure what to delete. *pout*
