HTML question.

Post by pinback »

You know how you can pop an image into a bunch of text and have the text wrap around the image? Know what I mean?

Well, is there a way to do a similar thing with a text box? Like a little shaded "sidebar" in the middle of the main article, similar to what you might find in a magazine article?

Yes, there is a way to do that. We do that with our screenshots on "Caltrops."

Something like on this page, right? You can steal the code if you like.

Ah. Heh. "table align=right". Heh. How embarrassing.

I used to get paid many money for this.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, m'man. If you've seen any of the city websites for the state of Colorado you'd see that being able to whip out a comment like "table align=right" would be like firing off comments on the behavior of quarks out here.

There's plenty of work for you in this state as a WEBMASTER. Not an HTML Designer or a Design Engineer, no, a WEBMASTER. MASTER.

This state needs you.

I know, I know my friend... I know. "Ugh," indeed.

For what it's worth, we're just all know crawling out of our over-too-quickly winter. There's little to be found cept for sunny skies, blue skies, cloudless skies and night-time skies (which incorporate many of the bits of earlier skies, except that there's no sun and they aren't blue) until November.

March through November! Now there's a shaggy dogg!!

Here are some opinions of this state from others:

Ice Cream Jonsey (Jr. Software Developer): Thought he'd hate it. Grew to not mind it.

Knuckles the CLown (Clown): Thought he'd hate it. Grew not to mind it.

Souffle of Pain (Civil Engineer): Thought he'd hate it. Still, in fact, hates it.

Vitriola (Environmental Forest Biologist): Thought she'd hate it. I don't think she does, in fact, hate it. But in between bouts of her telling you that I listen to "Vixen" albums, perhaps she can elucidate her thoughts.

It's not like you're going to be spending the rest of your natural life and a good portion of your designated, will-haunt-for-ether afterlife here. It's like for a few months.

We certainly have more ethnic restaurants than what you have in South Carolina. (Which, by my count, was "one." We have more than "one." We have "many.")
