Since I've finally graduated and I have some free time I decided to update some of my links to reflect more on what sites I typically visit and use.

I'll also be taking some time to update my site as well as more themes and perhaps a different layout to put my template to the test. Hopfully it'll work fine with minimal changes to it.

An interesting artical about the patterns and semantics of xHTML and CSS based web pages that are poping up and some problems behind it at Dog or Higher - WebPatterns and WebSemantics.

I thought I'd put up a working style switcher that was posted on A Lista Part on February 8, 2002 that allows a web page to change the looks of the page without having to go to a newer page or even refresh it.

I finished my paper on Web Standards for my seminar class and put it up on my site for everyone to look at and possibly make some comments on it.

Although making comments to my site directly will be kind of hard since I do not have a place for people to make comments on my site for everyone to see, so they'll have to be e-mailed directly to me and I'll try and post things about them as I have time.

I still have to work on my presentation that I'll be doing next week and I may still have some revisions to clarify or explain things better in my paper, but my results will be generally the same.

On the note of the random job offer, I decided not to do it because of the projects that are piling in on me, but then again it's about the time where teachers are playing catch up to turn in some grades for midterms.

I thought this was an interesting article off from Molly.com, What is a Web Standard? is pretty interesting because she defines what most people think of when they are talking about web standards in her own words.

A quick summary is that there really is no true web standard, but just recommendations from W3C and that validating web pages isn't a requirement despite how some wish it was.

Another thing that I found interesting and didn't really know posted in the comments of the article on web standards, Sending XHTML as text/html Considered Harmful by Ian Hickson, was defining XHTML as text/html in the content could be very bad when you switch it to the correct one as application/xhtml+xml. Of course there are problems specifying it as XHTML with IE6 that doesn't actually support XHTML.

Well back to adding more content to this web page instead of random notes for the front page and updates to my template.

This was interesting. Today I recieved a random e-mail from a Real Estate Company looking for a cheap web developer to redevelop their site and maintain it. To take the job or not is the big question and what do they mean by a "cheap web develper?"

I've updated the template section to use the database as well so that the page could have a uniformed display of information like the front page.

Changed the way the skin changing script runs. There should be no visible difference.

I've been working on making it possible to post news stories off the web page by itself and this is a test to see if it works correctly.

I Just fixed the extra's that appear in the document that gets generated from the php code.

The news page is now generated through a database where it grabs the information to display the page.

Welcome to my newly developed site, there's more to come.
