I was worrying about the font issue just today! This computer has a microsoft os, and the text for the site all looks fine in IE, but in my other browsers the colors look a little off, and the text looks really funny. It tends to hurt the eyes - I don't like it. I'm hoping it's just a microsoft thing, and that for anyone else using some other os everything will render just fine - **hope! hope!** I still haven't figured out the movie thing and how to make that work right. I think it only works in IE - I don't understand any of that yet. I'm going to test a little more, post a blog thing on it, and hopefully stumble across someone who has a solution. I think I still may need to adjust line heights here or there for legibility? Are some pages easier to read than others? Colors? At some point the contents page may need to become a rollover menu - I still have to learn how to float my divs so that the footer for each page comes out more or less in the same place consistantly - and the movie issue - it seems strange, but the embed code for it isn't even W3C standard compliant - my page is DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN and so is YouTube - but it seems you get a different embed code depending on which browser you use to visit YouTube. I found a code snippet from a link off of W3C - but I think I need something to go with it, either a javascript or something else. I just pasted the embed code I got from YouTube below - I wonder if because this blog is php based, will it translate the embed code and render it cross-browser compatible? hmmm - I guess we'll see . . . This is the code I got from a W3C suggested article on the subject: object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="c.swf?path=movie.swf" width="400" height="300"> param name="movie" value="c.swf?path=movie.swf" /> /object> I've stripped out three of the angle brackets - I'm not sure yet if I need escape characters or not on this thing. Freakin' learning curves! thanks! I was worrying about the font issue just today!

Colors?

At some point the contents page may need to become a rollover menu –

and the movie issue – it seems strange, but the embed code for it isn’t even W3C standard compliant – my page is

DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN

and so is YouTube – but it seems you get a different embed code depending on which browser you use to visit YouTube. I found a code snippet from a link off of W3C – but I think I need something to go with it, either a javascript or something else.

data=”c.swf?path=movie.swf”
width=”400″ height=”300″>
param name=”movie”
value=”c.swf?path=movie.swf” />
/object>

I’ve stripped out three of the angle brackets – I’m not sure yet if I need escape characters or not on this thing. Freakin’ learning curves!

I'm really impressed with the way you've got the text looking. It's totally professional and looks fantastically sharp and easy to navigate. Links are great .. every thing's great... and what's most important is the WRITING'S great. You have been busy working wonders. I’m really impressed with the way you’ve got the text looking.

Haha! It's true. I haven't gotten there yet. At some point I'll put the video up on my site and link to it directly, and I've no idea what the right syntax it yet. I've been trying to nail down other aspects of this whole project. It's actually huge - in terms of the learning curve anyway. As soon as I think I've got one piece set so it works reliably, I discover that it imacts other stuff, and as I bring in more content, everything twists. Take fonts. I have so many fonts! It appears that if I don't specifically identify them they cascade - or their rules do, to other fonts elsewhere. Suddenly - I have no font control. I HAVE NO FONT CONTROL!!!!!! yEEiiIIIKKKESS! Somebody HELP! me! I thought I had it figured out, and was trying to layout St James, and I broke it. Now it is clear . . . Again . . . I have to start all over . . . And I haven't even updated the video page yet. I know it'll be simple once I get it through my head what the proper syntax is, because you can identify elements specifically or generically - I just haven't grasped an understanding of the specifics of the symbolism. This thing is a BEAST! It's great to hear from you - I haven't done anything else but try to get a handle on this for days and days - I think finally I've decided I need a little tiny break to let the melted edges of my brain congeal! hehehe! and to think that once I have the bones of my site set, so I can just keep adding content without worrying too much about it's effect on other stuff (or vice versa) then I still have my email to set up, the blog template to adjust so that it at least has my logo . . . and so much other stuff that I haven't even looked at yet. So much to do! But I think I have found some cool color combinations for text effects - if I can ever understand exactly how it happened it might make great visual effects for my graffitti poem. We'll see - it could take me days just to figure out how to replicate the effect with reliability! haha. ! Nope, I’ve no clue yet about embedding stuff – I just right click and copy. Haha! It’s true.

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:27:11 +0000 http://dwinter.startlogic.com/blog//?p=1#comment-8 I've got most of the previous content all uploaded - I still have to redo the video page and leaping, then there's the table of contents incase the browser breaks - and I haven't got a link to it from inside any of the pages I've put up - chit! Someone left a note on face book claiming my video on YouTube was broken? It seems to load off my site, and it's linked to them. I'll have to see if I can script it into a page, and load it up - I finally figured out how to FTP with xp today! Yeay! You guys are great for stopping by. Keep coming back, I should be putting up lots of other stuff within days! I’ve got most of the previous content all uploaded – I still have to redo the video page and leaping,
