a little “vintage” www
April 24th, 2009 -- Posted in EZ-blog Oven | Comments OffThe internet is like parenting…
As soon as you’re used to everything and have established a routine, as soon as you’re starting to have an inkling of that “hey, I might just be getting the hang of this” feeling, everything changes again. 
So my hubby was reading last night about the fact that Geocities is dead. Anyone remember Geocities? I sure do. It was there that I built my very first HTML homepage, with some ridiculously long URL based on their “neighbourhood” concept. YM also spent it’s first 3 years hosted on Geocities before I bought the site it’s own domain name.
Just for kicks, here is the old YM site on Geocities (last updated 2003-ish). Check it out while you still can, because it will all be put to rest this summer, I hear.
Join me for a walk down memory lane of the internet in the late 90s, early millennium…

my head is full of CSS dreams
January 25th, 2009 -- Posted in family, life as a mom, work/career | Comments OffI did it!!!! 
((((cue Dora the Explorer music))))
So I was finally motivated to learn CSS (I say “finally” because my hubby has been nagging me to upgrade my websites for literally years). Once I get my mind set on something, there is just no stopping me, so after 2 days of cramming and learning, I could do the basics.
Enough to convert most of YoungMommies over to CSS, and toss in some new backgrounds and graphics while I was at it.
It’s like, oh yeeeah, this is why I like learning “stuff” ’cause then you can do cool stuff and feel proud about it.
Which is a good end to the day… a pretty yucky day. A day in which Avery dumped a bottle of baby oil alllll over himself and his room (and stuffed animals). I didn’t even know it was happening until he came down to the office with wet hair (which tipped me off that something was not quite right) – my poor hubby discovered the mess and was still cleaning it all up.
So if you see a 4-year-old on the curb tomorrow with Beacon Hill’s garbage day pick-up, please give him a good home. With nothing anywhere that he can possibly get his hands on and make a mess with apparently!!!
