Starting Point
About a week ago, before I went to Mayos, I did 1-3 above, and it didn’t work. First, nothing happened, and then I realized I was having trouble with the cache. I cleared the cache on Chrome, and things worked better, but the top horizontal menu was broken.
- One theory is that somehow having a php page mixed in broke things.
- Another theory is that there is a second cache on my server page, and maybe it is pulling from that; however, at the time, I was reluctant to delete that in case it broke everything and I’d be left with a dead site.
Current steps
I am trying a more cautious incremental approach. I have
1. Made sure that none of the top level pages (except index.html) have the same names as the original site
2. I have eliminated all references to .php files from this version
Results
It worked!
There was something wrong with the way I had included the .css file – it worked when the browser was reading files from the disk, but failed on the server.
I will now go back and try putting in the version with the php work. Yes, that worked as well. The php file was not a problem.
Next steps
- I am going to see if I can make the professional page look better by moving the images into the ‘content’ part of the screen grid. I got the format the way I like it by putting a table within a table, but I need to figure out how to create and invoke a second table definition in the .css sheet so I can have an internal table with no borders. I ought to understand this.
- Next I think I will print out the top pages, and edit the text for brevity.
- After that I will return to php – it would be nice to put cool pictures up, with commentary, in the same way the quotes come up. This is probably a larger project, though.
