I didn't realize how close to home that Otakulypse hit until I was checking some things in my portfolio. That last picture I submitted wasn't there, so like everyone else who lost stuff, I resubmitted it. At least for me it was just the one. Luckily, I saved the comments before, so I still have those, I always save that kind of thing when I get it so that I will have it for reference. It's just a picture anyway, so I'm not overly worried about the effect losing and repost it has. I'm not here for a reputation after all.
Oh, while I'm here, I did look up the hspace and vspace attributes for aligning images. Those are not supported at all by the new XHTML strict guidelines, and they're Depreciated for HTML 4.01, which means it's better to not try using them at all and to go with the CSS code I demo-ed in a past post. The code isn't hard to find, or I could send it to anyone who wants it.
I'm going to be taking a week or two to get one of my offline projects in order. I will be commenting like normal, but not posting a blog. I need to conserve my creative energies for this project that I want to have ready by the end of the year. If I make my deadline, I'll provide information about it here, but until then, I'd like to keep things quiet about it, so not to jinx it. That means I'm putting that second picture I promised to put up here on hold too, but only for a short while. I want to get this thing I'm working done, then I can really devote my energy to blogging and my art again. This project is important to me on many levels.

HTML caught my interest back in `03 when I started using this site actually. I wanted to be able to do some basic stuff with my blog so I took the time to learn. Now I want to be able to do a little more than just the basic stuff, so I'm branching out and trying to become more standards compliant in the process. It's amazing to put together a piece of code and see it work, I'll never forget the first HTML page I wrote up (It was a thumbnail table to help me find all the pictures I had on my old computer quickly), and I'll never forget this little piece of CSS I have on here now either. I can finally indent my paragraphs!
There does still seem to be some bugs, but that's to be expected when something that critical happens to the heart and mind of a site. I'm noticing some glitches with the PM system at the moment, but I'm sure they'll be worked out soon. I just hope the PM system doesn't go down for months like it did last time there were problems.

That's the best way to learn. Most of the detailed stuff I picked up about HTML I learned while answering someone else's question about how to do it. Actually, I do have one question. Do you know haw to do that transparency thing that a lot of people on here use? I want to experiement with it, but I don't know how to do it.
That's good. Adam does his best to keep this site running, he needs all the support he can get.
