It’s been a fun week, I have done a lot and accomplished nothing. I have been experimenting with backgrounds for the website, and buttons, and all sorts of “improvements”. I
did like the willow leaf as a button. It sort of seems to go along with the Wild theme. I am working on other things that may find their way onto the site, if I can figure out what I am doing.
I have been using Netscape 7.2′s composer to put it together, and ran into a glitch that I wasn’t sure was the composer or me, and since it is no longer supported, I was lost as to how to find help. I find that Mozilla has a newer
browser, the Seamonkey, that has the composer built in, so am using it, as of this morning. Unfortunately, it looks as though I am the glitch not the software, which means I need to ask some questions or find some instructions, however, that is the point in using a software that has support. And that is what I shall do. I have been trying to use an image as a background, and it won’t stick in the user menu, and It won’t show up when I try to put it in the html, so I must be doing it wrong, and need to find out what it is I missed in all the instructions.
There are a lot of wonderful papers and images that could work as backgrounds if I can figure out what I am doing. Soft and subtle textures and colors that add to rather than distract from the print. But . . . . .Ya gotta be smarter than the software, eh? So, I will just keep rambling, and figure what I learn now will help me somewhere later.

You’re looking good. The latest design is so gorgeous it leaps way ahead of everything else you’ve done. I love the soft background tile, it’s just enough to prevent eyeburn but still light enough to give plenty of contrast to the dark text. Very easy on the eyes and creates an elegant atmosphere that just draws me into thinking about both nature and art. Wonderful page you’ve created this time especially the Wild Garden.
