It&#8217;s an online endeavor consisting of 5 classes and a final project. So far I&#8217;ve gotten through the web architecture class, most of the XHTML 1.1 class, and about a quarter of the CSS class. Still to go are Dreamweaver and Photoshop classes. I&#8217;ve stumbled my way through Dreamweaver and Photoshop for awhile, so I don&#8217;t expect to have a whole lot of trouble with those classes, and I&#8217;m looking forward to positioning the bits and pieces I&#8217;ve culled into a coherent body of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>I love the right-brain &#8220;how-does-this-look&#8221; activity combined with the left-brain &#8220;how-can-I-make-it-look-like-this&#8221; work. Although the end of the XHTML class &#8212; a module-by-module discussion of every tag in XHTML1.1 &#8212; had my left brain fried for a little while.  And even though I can&#8217;t imagine using the disapproved-of server-side image maps, for instance, still I dutifully slogged through every tag. A weekend off could be a <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">good<\/span> thing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got an alphabet of painted letters that I&#8217;ve been playing around with digitally &#8212; both manually and virtually (ha ha) &#8212; and including in my homework exercises. It&#8217;s been fun. The final project is obvious: I&#8217;ll be redesigning my website. I can&#8217;t wait!<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/207\/1451\/1600\/Z_thumb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/207\/1451\/320\/Z_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t been blogging much of late, and I&#8217;m going to have a hectic weekend, so I thought I&#8217;d just check in now while I&#8217;ve got the chance.
