New Site

Well, I’ve moved servers, and the moved domains as well. My new blog can be found at http://www.joelsteeves.com I will no longer be updating this site. The RSS feeds also moved, if you go to my new site, I will have links to them in the navigation soon. For now, there are links at the bottom. The reason this site looks so funny is because I am trying to import the posts into my new blog. I don’t know if it is going to work, but we’ll see. Well, that’s all. Good bye blogger. Once again, my new blog can be found at http://www.joelsteeves.com


New Blog

Well, I finally got WordPress up and going. I will be fiddling around with the settings, making it better over the next few days. As for previous posts, they may or may not be coming. Sorry. Hopefully, all will go well, and I’ll have this all going by next week sometime. As for my Maple Design site, it might be down for a while. I am trying to get it to work. But whatever, we will see.


Internet Explorer Crap

Okay, so I have been making a website for my sister, and it looks great and all, except one thing. Internet Explorer. If you haven’t noticed already, I HATE Internet Explorer, why you ask? Because I have to add in special code so my pages work properly in Internet Explorer. This is because Internet Explorer does not support and follow the web standards set out by the W3C. It makes it so annoying. So this website doesn’t work in Internet Explorer. Its not my fault. Now I have to spend a whole bunch of time getting it to work, time I don’t really have. Thanks Microsoft, you sure make a quality product.

Now, if you haven’t already, please help a developer out, go and get yourself the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. It’s free, it’s more secure, and it supports the web standards. You can get it by clicking on the link of the right, or by click here.

Well, thats about it for now. As for the website, it is coming along nicely. The web badges are going up, more will be added later. I still have to fix the design. I am thinking of doing a complete redesign, so it might stay like this for a while, well I get the new design ready. The other pages are coming along, they still need work, but they’re getting there. Other than that, all is well.

I wrote three unit exams today, one in Math 30 Pure, one in Chem 20, and one in Physics 20. I am glad thats over with. It was tough, but I got through.


HTML Editors

Well, with my new Mac I need a new HTML Editor. I am currently in search of a good free text based editor. Currently, on my Windows machine I am using HTML-Kit. I love it, but there is no version for Mac. I got Taco, but its not really what I want. I may end up having to buy one, but I would really perfer not too. So, if any of you readers out there, anyone who actually reads this, whether a regular or a just happen upon reader, have any suggestions please post. Hopefully, someone out there will have something for me to use. If not, I guess Taco will have to do.





I am soooo fake pre-loading this image so the navigation doesn't skip while loading the over state.  I know I could use the sliding doors technique to avoid this fate, but I am too lazy.
