I had added my picture to the top of the menu bar but it wouldn’t display. And it worked on my Windows PC when I set it up. But the Word Press server is on a Linux box and Unix is case sensitive. So, the capitalized PNG in my picture file is not the same as the small png in my code. I think it is fixed now.
Windows is oblivious to case and is a dangerous tool to edit with unless you are going to put the results on a Windows Server.
If everything is looking right, the ‘rap’ (where this text is) should be in TAN, the header area (where the logo is) should be GREEN, the menu to the left should be a PALE YELLLOW and the body background should be a repeated green Celtic Knot motif. Please let me know if you see something different.
Next, I shall try to create a menu header module that will contain my picture and some text commentary.
If things came out right, my logo is lined up with the margin of the text content below. Now, the logo has two edges, the white outer edge and the green inner edge. Do you think it is better to align the white or green edge with the text margin?
I have modified the Cascading Style Sheets to rearrange and recolor exempli gratia. It was interesting, for a while, trying to figure out what would happen if I tweaked THIS or THAT. But in the long run, I would rather have a CSS editor that shows you the changes as you go rather than saving and refreshing.
I thought I had a problem getting the .php index file updated to publish the new look so I asked Elaine to look at it and she said she would tomorrow, but I figured it out on my own. I hope she doesn’t try to fix it in the morning. (I don’t think she cares for the new color scheme)
I just want to throw out an idea, no taxation without representation.
Since Congress saw fit some 90+ years ago to limit the number of representatives to 435, the population of the United States has grown quite a bit. As we approach a population of 300 Million citizens, each representative will represent 690,000 citizens. This is not fair.
We shouldn’t expect a representative to represent more than 150,000 citizens. I think a target of 100,000 citizens per representative is a reasonable number. The Constitution set a lower limit (30,000) but never set an upper limit. I think it is time to set one.
Here is my brother Patrick at The European Lacrosse Championships, playing for Ireland. The Irish did well in their division, though it may be a while before they can play with the big boys.

I heard on NPR this morning that Starbucks is implementing Media Bars. What an idea! Go in and select a bunch of songs online and burn a CD. It is such a natural for a place that has broadband Internet connections already in place. It takes 4 minutes or so to burn a CD. I imagine it would take longer to select the songs to burn. And you can listen to the songs before buying them.
I was just thinking that if you wanted to make a travelling music CD it would be so easy. I hope that they are using .WAV files and not mp3 or lower compression files. Music videos can be next.
Of course it is Starbucks, which means it stinks to high heaven of COFFEE. I have accidently wandered into one or two, following Elaine around, and quickly leave before I become physically ill from the malodorous smell. But, it is still a wonderful idea.
Well, I haven’t figured out what these Custom Fields are supposed to do. I thought it would be nice to add a parenthetical comment like what I am listening to as I am typing, or watching, or listening, watching and reading. The WP Wiki doesn’t provide any input on Custom fields.
I need to see about a spell scheker. All the “Dict.” key does is take you to a dictionary.
OK, I’ve added a Custom Field to the Post. Why doens’t it append itself to the post? I didn’t see anything in the options or set up that referred to Custom Fields and having to do anything to get them posted.
How do I display fields in the post? Come back to this later.
