Sometimes being a perfectionist + knowing at least a bit of web design information is annoying as hell. For instance, when I created this site off a css template, I didn't know anything about W3C validation, etc, so it didn't occur to me that if the website looked all pretty and worked in front of my eyes that there could be evil, insidious creatures in the background, unraveling all my hard work, fucking the site up for people from different browsers, etc, and making it look like I don't know wtf I'm doing.
Which, ok, granted-- would be true.
Point being, when I went to create this blog.html I decided to take the plunge and check the W3C validation. WTF ERRORS. Then I realized I didn't have it set to Transitional, and then there were all these other little errors that no one really cares about BUT THE POINT IS IT'S NOW CLEAN. Except for some mumbo jumbo about an iframe issue and allowTransparency not existing and Microsoft says you lie, bitches, so there. (This is probably the one time I'll side with Microsoft instead of W3C and that's only 'cause they're not telling me I suck ^_~)
Anyway, guess I'm just saying I now know enough to know when I suck at coding, but I don't usually want to take the time to fix stuff. I actually love web design/coding, but when it's working on this site, I get so unenthused. I supposed because if it's a choice of working on ICoS-related stuff, and it's "writing" or "coding," coding always fails the popularity contest. Not even Miss Congeniality in my mind, it's way off stage in the Ais Is Too Lazy To Consider wing.
EVENTUALLY, there will be exciting things on this site. I'll finally get the thing redesigned according to the designs I made in Photoshop, I'll make sure all the coding is correct/validated, I'll get the external navigation files going, and comments on the chapters... all these stupid little projects in the waiting, which are going to stay that way indefinitely because I'm the one in charge of it and I am really not so great with follow-through.
But for now, the newest exciting thing on the site is this blog, courtesy of Sonny's idea.
Later will come Operation Make This Site Efficient And Pretty. Or MTSEAP, as we call it for short. Uh. Yeah, witty comments elude me right now.
