Finals Week

Finished my final project, and integrated a file upload with the RTE, so it's time to sign off and figure out where to move and how to extend my website as we finish up the year and welcome in a new year currently full of promise.

It was hard working while going to school, but worth it now that we're at the end of the session, and I can up my hours so I can get some money to pay for the extra expenses of the holiday season.

Happy first night of Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates. Tonight is the first candle, remembering the miracle - and hoping that we'll be able to recognize the miracles we experience in this life.

RTE

Not sure I like the look and feel of the RTE, but at least it's integrated into my index page so I can easily change the text as we wind up class and I move out into the world of looking for a "real" job.

Spent about an hour working on the download/config/integration into my site, but will need to spend a bit more time getting it to be a little nicer. Seems pretty clunky right now.

Fixed Alignment!!

Making the thumbnail images align to the LEFT instead of the middle fixed the problem with the text wrapping around the image, so all is well!!

Yippee!!

Thumbnails

Doh! Of course, I just had to upload my pictures again,and the thumbnails were created.

The one problem I'm having, though, is that the title of the item isn't wrapping correctly on the right side of the image. It doesn't look good, so I'm going to have to see if I can use a "float" or something to make the words flow together on the right of the picture. Back into my HTML book...

Yippee!!

columns and image upload

Well, the image upload is working, but the thumbnails aren't on my list page. I will have to work on that tomorrow. I need to understand how the code gets executed to create the thumbnail image.

Spent about 2 hours uploading and editing the files required for the columns and upload functionality. Didn't bother with different category types right now, as I'm not sure that I want to even do that.

Admin Pages

Since my husband is Santa at Nordstrom's and at a photo studio, I took care of his family during the Thanksgiving week. That put me so far behind that I was a bit stressed out, but my admin pages are up and running.

Left the sample developer and his password, so access should be obvious from the admin.php form.

Spent a couple of hours listening to the classes I missed and getting the files up and running from my website, changing the format for the admin link so that it fit in better with my site. All-in-all about 3 hours to get this assignment done. Now I'm on to the next one up there. Boy, missing out so many classes is taking its toll on my nervous system, and work is necessary, but putting a crimp in my getting things done.

Off I go to the next assignment!!

Paging complete

Used the cooler arrows, so I had to make more space under my list items, but I finally have a look I like.

It only took about 2 hours to code and debug the garage sale so that 4 items show at a time. I like the larger arrows and being able to bounce to the first and last page. Now I want to add more items!! :)

Back to the book to debug my contact form.

Bad news on the job front -- I didn't get the job for which I interviewed. Oh, well...
