I like the humor and vision of people who live in Michigan. There is just something a bit edgy about life in and around the D. I think the struggle and the fun sort of keep things teetering just close enough to the edge to make it exciting at all times.
So there are a few local blogs/websites that I read regularly.
My two main reads are:
Detroit Moxie. For photos and things that go on in the Metro area. Also the touch of history and positive attitude keep me glued to this web spot published by @becksdavis
and
Rock and Drool. For real life with kids. Lots of kids. Reading the things that go on in another persons life make the everyday dramas seem bearable. When I read about the stresses that make Melissa scream, I feel it. And I laugh because I think ‘How could this be my life? These kinds of things don’t happen to real people!’ but then there it is going on in someone elses home. In my area. And she thinks it is some tragic comedy sometimes too. Funny serious stuff there by @rockdrool
I was at the store with my hubby when all of a sudden it came to me. I was having a problem with some CSS on a site I was working on. What could be the problem? I knew it had something to do with my nested DIVs but which one and where?
Using separate files for each part of the site and each part of each page on each site can be confusing sometimes. I customize any applications and websites that I code and this was no exception. I was changing things to spec on the fly and lost track of one stray tag.
I had designed my own theme to match an old design that was completely in ASP. I had to migrate it to WordPress and convert the database to fit into the WPbase MySQL and rewrite all the ASP to PHP. And also make it function the same. That meant hacking about 20 plugins, modifying and creating my own functions and really getting into the deep end of CSS because I was using a multi-column design and did not want to resort to tables within WordPress.
So I am going over each line of code in my head while shopping (What better time to do that?) then about 60 lines of code in I screamed out loud. “OhMyGaad! I put that DIV in the wrong file, I have it in two places!” I could not wait to get home. I had put a div in the main file and in the head by mistake.
I somehow think that my nerdy/geek husband was not too happy with my revelation. Or maybe it was the public outburst? It was a eureka moment what can I say. When inspiration hit – it hits.
Anyway — Fixed. I slept well that night.
Yes, I am geekgrrl and proud of it
I was a nerd before nerds were multi-billionaires.
Now about that website job you need done. give me a call.
