i hadn't designed a web page from the ground up for about 9 years, then
i was asked to do one. I'd dabbled with html and vaigly kept up with
some of the developments but other than that i've been stuck in 1996-7
thinking looking at web pages become more and more sophistocated (and
frequently slower to load!)
Back then html 3.2 was still the norm and the idea of seperating
structure and content, let alone style and structure was only just
emerging into general use. asp and server side scripting was new,
cgi and perl was the common way to get interactivity, plus java applets
and javascript. Most pages settled on being static
pages were either plain or gaudily colored, many folks had their
geocities home sites either cobbled together or simply borne of some
document resulting from 'save as html'. Netscape 2 and IE3 users were
still common.
My web sites werent very good either!
The main difference i see in the last 5 or so years is that websites
have a 'desktop publishing page' look, with nice curved pastel shaded
graphics disguising what looks like a table structure and menu
navigation offered not through frames (!) but neat buttons that appear
consistently in each page - just about every site offered at http://www.oswd.org/ has this look.
The first thing i did was check out w3c to see what was happening -
html 4.01, xhtml, css. then i checked out editors. Back then i liked
a mix of wysiwyg and plain text, now i am more minded to look at solid
plain text editors. Suprisingly a couple of the oldies were still
around but i quite liked htmlbuilder, acehtml, evrsoft and topstyle as
examples.
After some rapid catching up, being pleased at what is possible now and
experimenting i've concluded that a structural approach is the way to
do things in 2006 (well, since the late 90's!)
seperate structure from style from content.
the basic structure in terms of tables and text, image layout and so on
to be done with html, the style worked out seperately and applied with
css (css1 seems most widely compatible) and content - well content can
be managed in so many ways from just leaving it in the html, to using
server side includes to using a database and some server side
scripting.
Does that seem like a good approach to you? I ought to get a good
book too, any recommendations? Finally - out of interest - when did
you start with html and authoring web pages? any fond memories!? 26  2404  gs****@mailcity.com wrote: the basic structure in terms of tables and text, image layout and so on

Well, hopefully you won't use tables for structure. I think my biggest
beef with using tables instead of CSS is that if something has to be
changed site wide, with CSS it's only an external stylesheet, with tables,
it can be every single page. Additionally, hearing a page using layout
tables spoken by some screen readers is torture.

Unless you grow your own or a neighbor does it you are better off
using high quality canned tomatoes. They have a much better taste
since they can let them actually ripen on the vine. And this time of
year, if you are right side up, you can't get good fresh tomatoes from
a neighbor.

other browsers stumble on some parts of css2. Other than that it
sounds great, especially for layout. It explains that tidy (but

a site that hasnt been updated since the late 90's, kinda nostalgic!
The only criticism i'd have of modern sites is that, for all their
elegance, they tend to look the same, following familiar layout
schemes. It's good in the sense that sites become consistent in the
way one navigates etc (like the way Windows applications tend to follow
an informal standard layout), but perhaps a little of that pioneering
spark is gone.
Then again, back in the mid 90's it was all frames, gaudy colors and
gifs!

Actually, I live in Glendale, California which has a large Armenian
population. The small Armenian stores get their produce from farms in
Fresno. The tomato crop this summer must have been a bumper one, because I
was getting big, fat, really red, really juicy tomatoes. Those are the
ones I made sauce from. Now, they are smaller, but still very red, and
very tasty, compared to the tomatoes at my local big chain grocery which
are pale, hard, and tasteless, and quite a deal more expensive.

Pretty simple actually, just make sure you have really ripe, really red,
juicy tomatoes. Sometimes, my local grocer will give me the tomatoes
that haven't sold by the end of the day, and they're perfect.
First, put them in water, and let that water come to a boil, and watch
them carefully. They should start blistering in about two-three minutes.
Immediately remove them to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
Then remove the skins, and if you want, you can run them through a food
mill and get rid of the seeds as well (I usually don't, I like the
seeds).
Then I just chop up some garlic roughly, saute that in good EVOO, add the
tomatoes, cover for a few minutes, mash them with a potato masher, and
add herbs (usually basil) at the end. Taste for salt and pepper.
If you make a lot, you can portion it out into freezer bags. Just let
them lie flat til they are hard, then you can stack them to save room.

Its the design, methods and recommendations from authors that change. You
find HTML books that advocate tables for positioning, and do not separate
content from presentation.
I remember way back that everything was so fast moving, browsers

of those if it ain't broke, don't fix it people. I also make tomato sauce
from fresh tomatoes, fresh pasta and bread from scratch, pizza with hand
made dough, sauce, cheese, fresh basil and fresh organic tomatoes.
Unless you grow your own or a neighbor does it you are better off
using high quality canned tomatoes.
Care to name a brand?
Not really. There are lots of decent tomatoes. Italian tend to be
good, organic do taste better. The thing is, they can them right in
the fields, so they don't need tomatoes bred for sturdiness instead of
taste.

That depends if you extrude it through a stainless steel or bronze die.
Some of us even cast our own pasta-extruding dies 8-)
Some of us even mine our own copper and zinc. (Ok, not really some,
more like none. But I do tend to chew my own food. Usually.)

This time of year? Too much water and not enough sun.
Where in California are you?
In Riverside, we have had almost no rain and plenty of sun. Temps
averaging high 70's to low 80's recently.
Not ideal tomato weather, but they do grow "reasonably well"

Why would I want zinc? That would make brass, which would obviously
taste nasty. Bronze is tin and copper.
I'm also supposed to be working on writing a history of brass smelting
in the local area (it was invented on my doorstep).

Today? I am in the other-side-of-the-continent part of California.

If you could grow them in a day, sure.

Good gawd! Are you running that on Win 3.x, per chance?
Nope, Win XP Pro SP2... (whatever else). I also use Pegasus mail. I'm
one of those if it ain't broke, don't fix it people. I also make
tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes, fresh pasta and bread from scratch,
pizza with hand made dough, sauce, cheese, fresh basil and fresh
organic tomatoes.
Unless you grow your own or a neighbor does it you are better off
using high quality canned tomatoes. They have a much better taste
since they can let them actually ripen on the vine. And this time of
year, if you are right side up, you can't get good fresh tomatoes from
a neighbor.
Actually, I live in Glendale, California which has a large Armenian
population. The small Armenian stores get their produce from farms in
Fresno. The tomato crop this summer must have been a bumper one, because I
was getting big, fat, really red, really juicy tomatoes. Those are the
ones I made sauce from. Now, they are smaller, but still very red, and
very tasty, compared to the tomatoes at my local big chain grocery which
are pale, hard, and tasteless, and quite a deal more expensive.
Likely hothouse grown. It is just not tomato weather now.

Small workshop or a very large house?
