Sa: Site formatting changes; indenting images; style sheet import error

12 February 2022

What I did

I did not take notes.

I messed around with the formatting of the site, and made several minor changes

  • A banner describing the purpose of each page at the top
  • Elimination of the archive tap, and an incorporation of its content into the professional page
  • elimination of the borders around the innter tables on the professional page
  • fixing the left indent on pictures on the professional page

What I learned

  • I got a bit more confident with the style sheet
  • I figured out that to indent the images, I needed to use padding-right rather than margin-right (but I don’t know why – perhaps because it wasn’t with in a <p> tag?)
  • I had a lot of difficulty at first because my pages were reading in a previous version of the style sheet, so my changes to the new style sheet seemed to have no effect

What to do next

I would like to put up more content. Possibilities, all of which I want to pursue, are

  • book summaries
  • another essay
  • Information about rock specimens – which means I need to figure out a format…
  • The rock sample format also would, I think, allow me to embed things I want to work on learning

Also I need to clean up the various blogs – I should have only two blogs on the site. One for personal work, and one for publication.
