Violating Expectations

This was an interesting concept that was raised in Youtube collaboration between Matt D’Avella and Thomas Frank in a video on “How to Become a Productivity Master“. I’ve watched a number of videos by these two guys individually and they often provide me with food for thought, although I also feel like “self-help” videos such as these are often just sharing what the creators have figured out which we would actually benefit more from figuring out on our own, without resorting to the internet for answers; this is a bad habit to get into (obviously I’m telling you this because I too am now sharing something I’ve learned about myself!)

Insert text above a table in NVU / BlueGriffon

I mentioned in a previous post that I still use Microsoft FrontPage to create and edit web pages. Over the years I have tried out other such editors with varying degrees of success. I have more recently been renewing those efforts but I have reached a stumbling block. Help?

Since dabbling with Ubuntu Linux I discovered the BlueGriffon WYSWYG editor (also available for Windows) that can apparently be used not only for creating and editing HTML documents, but EPUB files also; that might come in handy at some point, but for now web pages...

Let's say I create a page and put a table on that page. How can I insert text above that table? (without dabbling in the HTML or cutting the table, typing what I want and then pasting the table below). [Click here to continue reading]

Old Web Wednesday #5

I mentioned Netscape Navigator in last week’s OWW blog post so I used that to get this week’s post started; I searched for “best viewed with netscape navigator”.
Netscape was a popular web browser in the 90s as an alternative to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer; adopted perhaps by people who wanted to be different and avoid Microsoft. I think of Netscape as the Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome of the day, in fact Mozilla Organization was formed in 1998 and largely funded by Netscape. Netscape Navigator is no longer a current browser although the last release can be downloaded and installed on Windows 10, it just doesn’t like modern websites all that much and it’s probably not all that secure.

Old Web Wednesday #3

Just in time for this week’s Old Web Wednesday I discovered this gem of old-skool web: takingcareofbusiness.com I assume it’s an old website rather than a current website using out-of-date styling, since it’s the only old website I’ve come across this week I thought I’d go into some detail on this one, even if the bottom of the home page does state “Copyright 1996 – 2018“ [Continue reading...]

Old Web Wednesday #1

Old Web Wednesday, as I declare it, is where I look back over the past 7 days and share the old online content I have stumbled upon. Lets wonder where the creators (the webmasters of old) have gone, and what they’re up to today; and if we’re really brave, send them a random message about the content they’ve left us here to find!
