To all
my "real" computer
using friends, I wish to thank you for
bearing with me during the past several
weeks. I think I've got most of the bugs
worked out now. I had to use a puter to
do it, though.
I'm glad you all can
finally see the dragon on the first
page. That one was my fault; I used the
<EMBED> tag instead of the
<IMG> tag. Sorry about
that.
As not all things work the same
on all browsers, some of you may not be
able to change the background color of a
page when prompted to do so. WEBTV
users, everything on these pages should
work for you. These pages were created
using WEBTV classic. I've tried to make
these pages as user-friendly as
possible. I understand that what appears
on my TV screen may appear differently
on a puter moniter. Someday soon, I hope
to have a real puter, that will give
me more options; but I will keep my
WEBTV as well, because I want these
pages to be user-friendly to WEBTVers.
I wish
to express my gratitude to the following
people.
Thanks Larry P. for the use of your scanner. I couldn't have put many pictures here at $2 per pic.
Thank you Chuck for the use of your scanner as well, and for teaching me how to rename & resize pictures. Thanks also for downloading the neccesary programs into Larry's puter.
Lolita M., you are always an inspiration! You stuck with me through 1001 e-mails when I was learning HTML, and I am forever indebted to you. Thanks also for the use of your puter yesterday.
Tom M., you are a genius! I couldn't have got my javascript to work without your input. And you claim not to know anything about java!
Thank you my friend, Denise, for checking my pages regularly and letting me know what did & didn't work. Your services were invaluable.
I wish to thank Dennis H. for listening to me babble on & on about HTML code and webpage building. I know you probably don't give a rat's #$@&, but you know how I love to babble.
Last but certainly not least, thank you Unique!! I enjoyed all those pats as much as you. It was those head patting sessions that got me through on those days when I wanted to give up on HTML code and my webpage. I owe you some doggy treats. (P.S. Don't tell Lolita when I've filled you with dog biskets. That will be our own little secret.
If I've missed anyone here, that's just an oversight on my part, nothing personal.
You can
now see the voting booth on "Rate
My Site." I got a new booth for that
page, as I could not get the background
color on the beseen quizlet to change to
white. I submitted my changes to beseen
at least a dozen times, but still would
not change the bgcolor!
I finally got a
"Real" computer!! Well....it's
not really mine. I'm just trying it out
for a while. But, the guy that built it,
did so with me in mind. I went to look
at it yesterday, and it said to take it
home and try it out for a while. If I
decide to keep it, he'll let it go
CHEAP, which is about all I can
afford.
I have made a decission! I'm going to
keep this computor. I really do prefer
it for working on my web pages and other
things as well. Webtv I like for surfing
the web, and I will us it for that
purpose only.

The new
voting booth is up and working fine. I
appologize for any inconvinence this may
have caused. Thanks

Now the trick is trying to
figure out how to use the damn thing. I
hooked it up when I got home from work,
and even installed an anti-virus
program, and hooked up to the internet
by myself! That, I thought, was quite
impressive; but from there on out, I was
confused. I'm back on good ol' webtv
now. At least this I understand.
I
will learn how to operate that computer,
though. Maybe by this winter I'll have
it figured out enough to do some really
cool stuff with my web pages. In the
meantime: what you see is what you get..

Now that I have some
different options and teniques available
to me, I suppose you're wondering when
I'll put them to practice on my pages.
Truth is; I still haven't got this puter
figured out. I'm still learning. I also
want to find a good program for fonts
that I can download. I'm sure ZDnet has
them for free, it's just a matter of
finding the program which best suits my
needs. Also, as I'm a little bit limited
for space on my hard drive, I don't wnat
to download some program that's going to
take up 10 megs of space.
So be
patient. When I get this thing figured
out, I'll incorporate some cool stuff
into my pages
This one is free for all to enjoy,
especially Lolita, who brought the
shrinking dragon to my attention..
