Again, this is my heading

And this is my sub-heading

And this is my sub-sub-heading

And this is getting ridiculous

What you saw right there was a line, booyah

See, this is what I typed in the Title entry box

This is the first heading that I've html'ed an I'm not sure it's going to publish correctly

Did it work?

Guess what I learned today? "Every single image, whether it's an img tag or an background-image from your CSS is a separate HTTP-Request, so you can imagine how quickly those requests can wrack up."

Yup, I did what you said and Google'd CSS sprites. I also quickly realized that clikcing on the hyperlinked text of the "W3" website would lead me on a pernicious hyperlink tangent to stuff I don't know anything about yet.

here's the other thing that I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around... I think. Right now I'm typing html text into the blogger 'edit html' block. Blogger already has it's own CSS page for what I'm doing, so sometimes it does formatting things that I don't ask it to.

For example, when I hit return on the html entry block for a new paragraph like this, it automatically inserts a space. So when I try to make my own paragraph by giving the paragraph tag, but start on another line... the result is that my paragraph is starting two or three lines down instead of one.

The only way around this is to have my paragraph tags immediately after one another, which makes it difficult for me to read and edit text later, because they're not visually separated.

The other thing that I don't get yet is the pictures. There's a whole lot more element content when I use the Blogger GUI to insert a picture onto the blog post. I'm guessing that's because I have to upload my picture to somewhere on blogger before it can reference it to put of this webpage. However, there also seems to be a lot of code devoted to telling it how to look. I.e. float right or left, border width, etc. How much picture formatting is controlled by the html and how much by the CSS? These are just questions rolling around in my noggin, which I'm sure I'll figure out soon!

K that's all for now I am le tired.

goodnight nichols

Hello Dad!

So I know you've liked my mix CD's in the past, but this year I thought I'd change the tune a little to mesh better with your favorite little gadget. Yep, that's right, I'm talking about the iPhone. So I wish that I could've made a little media package for you in a better way, but this is the only way I figured you could do it. Being that you'd have to subscribe to the podcasts from your phone, I couldn't very easily hijack your precious... because it's always on you!

So below are the links to a bunch of podcasts I hand selected for your listening pleasure.

Podcasts Galore!

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: a really quite comical NPR game testing people's knowledge of current events. Really worth a listen, I would just sit in the car after work sometimes listening to it.

The Soup: a funny way to catch up on all the latest celeb and entertainment news... because you're in the biz.

60 Second Science: I've been a big fan of this one for about 3 years now. For the quick shot of science news on your way ... to anything!

High Speed Stuff: This is an informational cast put on from the guys of howstuffworks.com about all things that go fast, and are mechanized (so we're not talking about leopards or high school girls here).

SPEED Engine Block: Seemingly a vidocast full of car eye candy, and a bit of background on the cars... check it out, seriously.

Sound Opinions: The best music critique podcast there is. It's a great podcast from two middle aged guys who REALLY know their music history. It reviews some old stuff, and new stuff.

The Economist: the week ahead : supposed to let you know what's going to happen... in the future!

And for your tweeting obsessions: http://twitter.com/iTunesPodcasts

Ding, dong, ding, dong....christmas bells are ringing
