Caleb asked me how I achieved a few of the effects that I use on the Gimp, so we sat down with a picture and started playing around. Abby saw and sat down as well. We got a bit goofy and here’s the result:
I got a bit silly when responding to this thread on frihost. I ended up making a few silly pics. Click on the link below to see what I mean. Those on dialup might want to click and go put the kettle on…

I’ve been hogging the computer this weekend while hacking my site (especially this part of it). Well, most of this theme and most of the “ConestogaStreet” theme now validate as xhtml-1.0 transitional. I’ve been cleaning up other parts of the site as well. The front page and the linux page are both clean enough to validate as xhtml-1.1-transitional. I think that’s a pretty good feat, considering my newness to xhtml and css. A lot of the Wordpress theme pages are written with a lot of php as well, so I’ve been diving right in. I don’t remember many of the commands by name, but I’m starting to get the concept.
So, I don’t know what’s gonna go with my editor of choice. I’ve been a big NVu fan but it can’t handle .css or .php files and it doesn’t want to save files with a DOCTYPE of xhtml. It annoyingly converts the string back to HTML-4.01 and “fixes” all of my edited self-closing tags, which aren’t xhtml anymore. I’ve had a good time using AllyCat editor. Its freeware for Windows, so I’ve been using Windows most of the weekend. I’m glad Gimp comes in Win32 flavor too.
If you look to the right, you’ll see that I’ve added a theme switcher, so you can switch among some of the themes I have installed. The only ones I have seriously hacked yet are this one and the one you saw yesterday, but I’m kind of liking the Way-Too-Clean theme. Perhaps, after a few serious color changes, I may use it as default. Who knows! Tell me what you think of all this.
