Here I am staring at the screen with all these mumbo jumbo codes and the first thought in my mind was "What the heck was I thinking? Was I high on Crunch or something?" (I just ate a pack of Crunch chocolate). "What have I done???" my panic stricken mind yelped, "I need Monny's help" problem was, it's like 3 in the morning and he's probably snoring somewhere in bed, while I am wide awake like the quintessential night creature that I am- proper term: Vampire?
Why was I compelled to work on my multiply layout? Well, I was bored and I couldn't sleep. I already read a 300 plus paged book, which I devoured in hmm... 5 hours and well, I needed some mental stimulation. So I thought I could surft the net, better yet, go to multiply. Then another thought occurred, as I stared at my layout- it lacked a little hmmm life and then a light bulb went on and I said: "Hey, I watched Mon have a go with the css thingy... how hard could it be?"
Thirty minutes after my first attempt at the "creative art" called css editing, my layout looked like well, vomit. hahaha.
The colors were all wrong and the background I picked just clashed with everything.
My mind vituperated me soundly "Way to go Ms. I-can-do-this-by-myself css expert wanabe"
Now, I'm no html, css, (what do you call it anyway???) expert or whatever, heck! I'm totally retar- uh... intellectually starved when it comes to all these slashes, dots, letters, and numbers- takes me back to the dark days in Computer 12 class where I had to solve this odd thingy on the screen- judging by my lack of knowledge on what particular test it was, that just proves that I DID NOT care about it, or learn a damn thing from that subject- sorry Mr. K (comp teacher).
don't really know what bloody subject teaches the html mumbo jumbo stuff....Where was I? Yes, I have no idea what to do with all the:
div.owner_nav {
border: none;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 10px;
height: 260px;
width: 680px;
and the hmmm.... well, whatever... you get it...
I was growing frustrated by the minute, but I just kept moving forward. An hour passed, and with the aid of Google, I was able to locate a site that had a list of hex color code thingys, which I used to change the text and background colors...(listen to me yammer on about terms that were totally foreign to me a month ago--- yey me!!!!) I pressed "Preview" LO AND BEHOLD there it was!!! the new layout.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I did it- I think?????????
It's not completely that good, but it's okay.... Like I said, the bugger needs work....
It's 4 in the morning, and here I am with a headache. I could hear my brain protesting "No more...."
Sheesh this takes a lot of work, it is kind of interesting- if you knew what you were doing. I was working like a blind man groping for a way out of a maze. I definitely didn't know what I was doing, I was winging it the whole time, experimenting with it and I think I did pretty okay haha!
