Right now I'm completely neurotic about my portfolio. I have this VISION, you see.. And it will be WONDERFUL! I'm learning Adobe Dreamweaver, and I've gone through their tutorial with their sample page, but my little wee brainy can't seem to translate what I've learned into a way to create what I'm envisioning. I'm losing sleep over this. Seriously. I woke up last night trying to turn my ovals and swirls into a table, because so far that's what I've learned.
One really kewl thing, tho. I registered http://www.amiebrannon.com for 5 YEARS!!! IT'S MINE BABY! Right now there's just a placeholder page with my email contact, but I think it's kewl nonetheless. I may just put something relatively generic together just to have something better than the placeholder, and then pursue my vision once I've gotten more comfortable with Dreamweaver.
I'm also trying to find a good webhost. I wanted to go with Yahoo, but they're expensive. I found another one that looks good, but I've never heard of them before. They have a 99.9% guaranteed uptime, 24 hr phone support, lots of bandwidth and storage space, and they're like $5/month. So they seem good, I just wish I knew what other people use.
This is what I want to use for my background image. Which is another thing I can't figure out how to do. NOWHERE in the tutorial does it give any instruction on how to use an overall background image. Bleh.

oh, remind me to set aside a bag or two of the mexican sweet chili tea from yogi teas. i'll have to add it to the other teas i've set aside for you. :)
does your present internet provider not prvide you with webhosting?
That Mexican chili tea sounds great! I really like the Yogi teas. Do you like licorice? I'll bring you some of that, it's really good.
You know, I didn't even think to check with Comcast. They've given me all sorts of shit for my 'amiedesigns' email, tho.. They cancelled it without telling me because they thought it was a business addy. So I don't think they'd host my business-related site either. I don't know. They're a pain to work with.
Well, off to learn about fucking CSS sheets. Yay. Wish me luck! :-)
PS Have you booked your condo yet? I'm so hyper for you guys! :-)
x and i haven't fully discussed key west yet, but we will. :)
Just call his boss and ask for a day off for him, pack his stuff, and hustle him into the car one morning. It would be fun! :-)
