HTML sucks

Ok, one more cup of coffee, then I'm off to toss myself in the shower. Then to come back here and throw myself into the redesign of PtF. I wonder how I'm going to be able to make this work. I want the top logo of the clouds on each page, but without the frame set. (As I mention that for the third time in a row. heh) I think it makes more sense to have the site nav bar on the top on each page than stuck somewhere in the section menus.

I may do it so that I have 3-4 different MT blogs; one for each section. I think I may add in a section for my paintings. Enh, maybe not.

I know I said I'd do this yesterday, but I discovered that Coffee Cup HTML Editor doesn't uninstall cleanly from XP, making it impossible to restart a trial period. Which means I was facing doing my page edits by hand, which I can do but I prefer not to. So I spent a few hours installing and uninstalling the damn program. I got Mike to look at it when he got home and he finally said it was crap and handed me a dreamweaver disk.

So now I have Dreamweaver installed and people... it's scary. Doesn't help that I'm really rusty with my HTML. Plus there's this new(ish) thing called CSS! MT uses it, and I've played a bit with it, but that doesn't mean I understand the stuff. What I've been reading says that I shouldn't be using tables for layout with them, I should be using div. Um, yeah, Ooooooooook.

So I'm in hell. Hah. I want to have a site that's consistent and attractive, and mine. Which means that I have to teach myself this. I did the frame set initially to save having to add the top menu to every page by hand.

Ahh well. I need that shower.
