Done, almost

I more or less finished the template of my website. And good news, too! The domain name I want is open! How in the hell does that happen? I can get it in a dot com, and even a dot net, too! Exclamation point! I just hope the both of them stay open until I can get my space. Considering that I almost have a finished site, that should happen in a couple of months.

I'm excited.

Ugh

Internet Explorer now officially licks balls in my opinion. I redid the template of my website, and I think it looks very nice. After a lot of research, trial and error, I made a CSS only rounded rectangle for the main posts on my main page. However, as nice as the site now looks, Internet Explorer found a way to fuck it up.

It won't display my rounded corners nicely. It blows them up to where the jags are thrown in your face. Every other browser I have tested it on (Firefox, Opera, and yes, unfortunately, Safari) displays the page perfectly, the only differences being some font stuff, which I can live with. But IE7 (and 6) just piss me off.

I'm either going to cut IE out of my site design, or just put in a little code to give it a different stylesheet. Whatever.

Yays

I have successfully moved back into my dorm room. Good thing I'm a guy, or I would have had a lot more stuff (moving my sister around was a bitch). Well, like I said, I created a site template, and I am going to work on it more a little today. I still don't know my dinner schedule here yet, since we now all have different classes, so I don't know when I am going to go eat and stuff.

Later, peoples.

Basic website template

Well, I worked diligently for several hours, and came up with a workable website template. It is, without a doubt, the simplest, ugliest template you could ever imagine, but I guess that just leaves me room to go up, right?

All it is is the title, the menu bar, two boxes side by side (one larger, for posts, the other smaller for updates), and a copyright bar on the bottom (well, under the two boxes). The background now is black, and the boxes are gray. White text, and orange links complete the picture. It is terrible. But I'm working on it. I'll make pictures and stuff to put in there. The good thing is that the thing is centered, and 1000 pixels wide. So even with a scroll bar, the entire site fits nicely within a 1024X768 resolution.

Right now the thing only uses HTML and CSS. Really, that's all I know. Anything I cannot do with the two of them, I'll do with Javascript (Java has gotten me somewhat more used to it) by looking up the code.

As far as this site's version, I'd say the version number is 0.05. That's right, it's that early and terrible a version.

Eh, tired now. More work on it tomorrow. After coming up with some (at least ten) characters for my novel.
