Or “Dusting Off the Old Web Editor”

I finally did the most needed update to the Mixing Live Sound site. I am an affiliate of a specialty book shop. They had changed their site and their affiliate tracking. My old links were broken. I updated my book of the day rotator and book store page.

This was the purpose of building the toy php script of which I spoke. It outputs the entries (html) that I needed to rebuild the rotator and bookstore page. The html is actually the same, just the CSS for the two formats is different.

There were a couple of challenges for the book store page. I had some problems formatting the page, but with the help of the trusty CR (carriage return) I got it to display. It may not be the best way or the right way, but it is a way and the page looks ok. I thought that if I used position: relative; I could use clearing divs, but either I didn’t get them in the right place or that is not the path to success.

With that done I went on to update the events pages on the MC Rally site. I have started linking my site name back to the home page, so I had to edit the css. This required a bit of fussing so that I could get readable text in the nav areas. I considered changing the background colors, but decided to change link colors. The main site now more closely matches the blog, so it is all good.

I am far behind in my site updating/rebuilding. There is much to do as far as the mechanics of the various sites and I have a lot of new knowledge about content that I need to apply to the sites. Now that I have begun I hope that I can keep rolling and effect some of the needed changes. I will try to keep you updated here.
