4-day weekends…

Miscellaneous Musing by Judy @ 9:35 AM

…are a blessing.

For a little while, I wasn’t sure that I would actually be able to take yesterday off, but it all worked out OK.

I went to see Shrek 2 yesterday. Sat in the theater and laughed my head off. I needed that. Then I came home and watched The Return Of The King. I needed that, too.

I”m almost done tweaking mommymonster.com (yeah, right!) :lol: I still need to redo the weather gifs. And I need to take down the old Movable Type version of the blog. And I’d like to add the Sun Spot back in. But I’ve tested most of the pages with the HTTP and CSS validators. I can’t get a couple of the games to validate because of the way the validators are parsing some of the inline javascripts. But that’s OK. And there are some cases where Arles does not create a totally valid page in the slideshows. But that’s OK, too. The errors are fairly minor and I’m not looking to be xhtml compliant yet.

I’ve also figured out a way to handle surfers that are browsing with images off. I created a stone-colored link to the site map. In IE it hides unobtrusively next to the counter. Opera hides it behind the weather gif, which I actually like better. Opera wins this one. Meh. Whatever works.
