A review of the NearlyFreeSpeech server, and general explanation of the fee structure. All servers are NOT alike in how they handle fees and services, so this may be of interest to you.

This may be my new favorite coding assistant. I found it on the Web Developer's Handbook, as linked to from CSS Zen Garden's CSS Resource Guide. Seriously, this rocks.

HTML Help was created by the Web Design Group, which was founded to "promote the creation of non-browser specific, non-resolution specific, creative and informative sites that are accessible to all users worldwide." If you check the site out, there is an HTML Validator, CSS Checker, Help Forums, and more! Style Guides, Image info, you name it!

This CSS cheat sheet is not really set up like a standard cheat sheet but it is easy to read and follow along. I think it will be helpful to those of us who need to be reminded of all the CSS shorthand.

An online training course from Web Developers Notes that explains the MySQL commands to create database tables: rows, columns, records, assigning unique id numbers to individuals records. At the news organization where I work, developers have used MySQL to create databases for Connecticut high school football and basketball statistics. The stats are all displayed in tables - check it out at http://data.courant.com/highschoolsports/basketball/home.aspx

Never knew this site had tutorials in all the years I've gone to it. The "font" section looks like it'd be especially helpful when doing the challenge to spruce up your recipe page. Good luck.

This site has it all. I found it to be a very useful resource when trying to restyle my recipe. It has both, HTML and CSS information. Check it out when you can.

Tutorials, code snippets. on all kinds of helpful things!

Good article on innovation and opportunities in ICM, even at "old journalism" institutions like the NY Times

This is the section of lecture 2-2: Text Mess that I added a comment to. I hope you will check out the link I added if you are interested in how you can incorporate what you know about design aesthetics to what you are learning about CSS.

I added a comment on video 2-2 re: the div tag.

Question on video at around 23:30: While different browsers don't all support the same features, will they at least support basics like flow and positioning in like fashion? I recently had a heck of a time with a positioning difference between Firefox and IE, and I still wonder if it was my code, or the way IE dealt with it.

This is a YouTube video demonstration of Java Basics. It begins with "Notepad isn't all bad." That caught my attention right away because I am a complete Newbie to Java Programming.

here's my work for module 1... it's a three page site, each with a picture and 2 links. hopefully it's all valid xhtml.\none page is an 'about me,' another is a recipe

Hi, Nick. Need to remember to tag these with the appropriate challenge, or I don't know to check them :). I've added the tags to this one.

Here is my updated recipe page; CSS version. This new one has a gray background for the main page and white to make the actual recipe stand out. The main title stands out against the other headers by color and size. All headers are in a sans-serif font while body text is a serif. Also, the links have a rollover feature and are a differnt color than the body text.

New and improved CSS version. Also found a menu bar template, fiddled with it a bit, and made comments as part of understanding how it works. Attempting to satisfy webprog-2-d and webprog-2-f.

Very nice! If you stick the code for the menu bar *inside* the "wrap" div, I have a feeling it will work out better. Right now, when you maximize on a big screen, the menu goes a bit wonky. (Don't need to fix for the purposes of this assignment, but just so you know.)

Thank you! I've been going a little nuts with a few things. :) The menu bar was easy to place in Firefox, but wouldn't position properly at all in IE. I managed to do some fudging, but don't like the result, as I later gave up margins:auto to pin things down. After all that, the two browser renditions still look a little different. Much to learn.

Just a quick question regarding the Fake Profile challenge. Should it be two or three pages minimum?

This is a web hosting company I've used for the past six years or so. It used to be called Catalog.com. I give it a decent rating. The administrative control panel interface is easy. Hosting packages provide for MS SQL Server, wordpress installations, metrics, spam sharks, email, ecommerce, php and fairly speedy support help. One annoyance: Webhero is constantly changing its price structure every 6 months or so. Sometimes hosting is free, then it costs a little, then it is free again. Economic survival online is an art these days, (I work for a newspaper) so I can't blame them too much. I currently own three domain names, and all of them are registered with this company.

Here is the "all about Jen Rock" page - hope it tickles everyone.

hi, jen, you... uh... rock! :-)

Here is my introduction. I had a negative visceral reaction to the lack of markup on this challenge, so I strayed from the directions and I added lots of
and hyperlinks.

Ah, this is a 1-d, I believe, I've added that tag.

I did this exercise to become more familiar with writing in html and to understand how to use and all of its atributes (which I was having a hard time with). I took a page from QU and duplicated it. Rather than using their pictures, I found one on Flickr instead. I put it in the validator and it passed, after fixing 9 XHTML problems.

the title says it all
