Horizontal Reference

Until now I've only made boring, regular, grey horizontal lines across the page (although, I do really like them!)

But I wanted to practice making a few different ones; colors, sizes...

I read this on www.htmlgoodies.com
By the way, I bought the book of the same name, by the same author. Good stuff! Worth the money!



Changing the width:




Aw, forget it, it's 11:30 at night and I'm tired! Here are some colored lines, though.












Hey, Making Lines is Fun!

I Wish I Wasn't Tired Right Now!

In Ever Made

I'm off to a bad start!

Yeah, that's right, I've screwed up already--in my very first step! Not a good sign. Not good at all, nope! But let's have a laugh on me, then continue moving onward, shall we?

In case you didn't spot it, here's the error.
My blog is entitled "The Website I Never Made"
The URL could be read as "The Website In Ever Made"

Since I have absolutely no shame whatsoever (and since I'm also not going to show this website to anyone whatsoever) I'll 'fess up the truth. I actually read about, and had a great laugh over, this very situation just a few weeks ago! Some of us really don't learn from others' mistakes; we like to personally experience the screwing up part for ourselves before we can truly appreciate the lesson.

Fortunately my mistake is innocuous, unlike some of the examples in that article that I read. And what's worse is that those were commercial sites!

Imagine this. You have a business that sells pens. Your fine company is named, Pen Island, so of course, you call your website, what else...penisland.net?

Good, I see my plan worked. The focus is off me, and you're all laughing at Penis-Land.

Here is where you can find that original article about the unintentional worst domain names ever.

Incidentally, there's a lot of interesting stuff sprinkled throughout SmartBro's site, including some little known techie tidbits. Look around a bit while you're there. You'll learn some fun little computer secrets. I did. (I just need to remember them--like naming websites.)


The Purpose of This Blog Is...

Maybe it would help if I read the directions. Nah, I never do that. Instruction manuals ain't my thing. I'm too impatient.

What I'm trying to say, but am not doing a very good job at saying is...I don't have a clue as to how to change the order of my blog posts. Maybe it's not possible! Specifically, regarding this message I'm currently typing, I'd like to explain the purpose of this site, but...the explanation would soon scroll down to the bottom and be pushed out of sight and into the archives as other posts take their place at the top! I wonder if I can permanently stick it at the top of the page.

Yet another thing to figure out.

I'll write this site's purpose soon. Very, very soon.
