WordPress: My First Custom.CSS – Displaying Bullets

Even though I have been blogging for some time on my own domain, I still am just a newbie, and I know even less about CSS, PHP and all the other code that is used with WordPress. So I figured I would try and document some of my experiences with learning how to do things.

A New Site Format, with Fishing and Travel

Technorati tags: ,

The site is changed a great deal in the last few days.  I have added an entire section on Fishing, expanded the section on the State of Jefferson and renamed it Traveling.  Continue reading ‘A New Site Format, with Fishing and Travel’

I Want This Web Site

As a classical music lover, I am very disappointed in the data retrieved by Windows Media Player.  Microsoft has done a really good job of creating software that allows us to maintain our music on our computers.  Media Player serves all of my needs for this.  But what is lacking is data about the recordings.   The information is minimal at best and often meaningless.  I.E. I have a number of “Track 1″ titles in my WMP library.  But based on what I can find by searching the web and reading quite a few blogs and articles WMP does this as well as anyone.

Blogging: The Saga of This Web Site

Blogging: An Editor for Knot My Line

I think that I am more or less up and running on this my first web site.  There are still a huge number of things I need to learn before I can brag very much.  For the last year or so I have been signing on for blogs at a number of free blogging sites.  Each time I was initially enthused, but then quickly became disenchanted.
