Spent most of yesterday morning and early afternoon redesigning and reprogramming all the pages of my website. Instead of using TABLE commands to define margins (Old School and deprecated in HTML 4.x), I'm now using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Now the text area resizes according to the size of the window, and the clickable image of my book cover stays on the page as you scroll through the text. I'm pleased I was able to figure it out on my own and get it right.

I also redesigned and reprogrammed this blog's template to take out the unnecessary little empty blue square. Now it's all information. I'm considering going to three columns, to keep more of the blogroll on the page, but it's not urgent.

Of course, all that time spent reprogramming was therefore NOT spent on the medieval screenplay. But it's hard to think story when the kids are around for the weekend. Yeah, that's it.

The truth is that it IS procrastination. But slightly more fruitful procrastination than, say, playing endless rounds of DD Tournament Poker, which was my previous time suck. It's nice to have readers, and the blog does help me figure out what I'm thinking about tv watching and writing.

Anyway, I'm rather pleased with the new look of the site. It looks much more professional.
