Welcome to my new site!
OK, I admit it's not finished, but at least I've got something up. I still have to add comments, and get the archive working. Then I need to add my portfolio and photos sections... there is a lot left to do on those!
Yes, I had an exciting weekend, mostly working on my site. I spent Friday night in, building pages for the portfolio section. I then got up nice and early Saturday morning to continue working on it. That afternoon I headed over to Scott and Karen's to use their driveway so I could wash my car. Hmm... that took a little bit longer than I'd anticipated. My car was covered in tree sap, so I had to scrub it clean. That stuff doesn't come off very easily. I also took the time to wax it and fix the paint chips. Oh, and I decided to replace the emblem on the front (the damn bastards who stole the original one took a big chip out of the paint when they ripped it off the front of my car). Then I cleaned out the inside. By the time I was done, Scott and Karen were preparing supper, and invited me to stay. That was a nice little break. I then went home for the evening to continue working on my site. Yee haw.
Sunday didn't start off very well at all. I decided to work on the photos section for this site, and tried to scan something in, but - lo and behold - my scanner wasn't working. So I thought I may as well get my journal up and running. Rory had set up Movable Type for me to use - but I'll be darned if I could figure out how to use it. Also, the help pages weren't working on their site, which was no help at all. By lunch time, I was ready to throw my computer out the window. Talk about frustrated. After venting to Scott for a bit on MSN, he offered to come over after supper to help me out. I figured that was the opportune time to tackle my filing cabinet, and the huge pile of papers that has been growing next to it for the last 6 - 10 months. I had a nice little break mid-afternoon where I headed over to the Saint John Theatre Company loft for a makeup meeting for Guys and Dolls. I'm really looking forward to working on the show! After the metting, I returned home to continue tackling the filing. The next thing I knew, the doorbell rang - and it was Scott. I still had papers everywhere. Ah well. I'll finish sorting that stuff soon enough. Scott brilliantly fixed my scanner problem. Yay! Then, he stuck around to help me get my journal working. Rory informed me that I could use Blogger, so the rest of the evening was spent trying to get this page working. Hours of frustration ensued as we tried to get Blogger to work. Somewhere between 1 and 2 AM, a weary Scott stumbled home (thanks again for all your help and patience!!). So, finally, here it is. OK, minus the comments and archives, but at least it's a start. Whew!!
