At a Snail's Pace

So I haven't really gotten much done so far. I'm trying to get back into it, and I think I'm succeeding... slowly. I'm starting to think I should spend some time on a shorter side-project, though. At the very least it would boost my morale. [smile] So, I decided to use the webspace I got with my GD++ membership to set up a small sub-site. Mostly for fun, really.
Now, I decided I didn't really want it to look totally different compared to the rest of GameDev.net... so I hijacked the GameDev.net header bar and stuck it in my page. [lol] I don't think the staffers will get angry at me. After all, it's still on gamedev.net, under my membership space. But it's just a static .html page, so I stripped out the ad. There's plenty of ads on the main site, anyways. [wink] But if that upsets someone, let me know how I can fix it. [smile]
You can check out my sub-site here. You might also notice that I hijacked the journal title bit. [grin]
In related news, I got a new book on (X)HTML and CSS. It's more of a textbook, which is actually perfect for me, because I'm tired of getting books without decent exercises. This one has around four cases per chapter! [grin] Plus, it was released just this year, so I know it's current.
I took my first HTML class when I was nine years old, and I learned the basics and such. My site never really looked good, though. [lol] So I was browsing the local Borders and this book caught my eye: HTML and XHTML: 5th Edition - Comprehensive. I've only finished chapter 4 - I finish each of the exercises before going on, because I can - and I've already learned some new things. Take, for instance, the tag. It's placed in , and supplied with a href attribute which is effectively prefixed to every relative link in the page. I used it (with href="http://gamedev.net") to test my sub-site locally, yet with the glorious logo and images, without editing every single link myself to do so. [smile]
Don't worry, I'm not giving up on Cripes. I'm just taking a breather. [smile]
