Web Publishing: UR DOIN IN WRONG

Ok, let’s see…

  • Decent open source HTML editor… check.
  • Write magazine article about using editor to create web pages… check.
  • Build Drupal website to post online versions of articles… check.
  • Post article as PDF attachment to Drupal node… WUT?
It gets worse. From the article text:
The first thing I want to do is set up a couple of tables, one inside the other, to hold my pictures and text. Think of tables as little boxes that you can put stuff into.

There is a fancier way of laying out a Web site, called Cascading Style Sheets, and Nvu supports it, but for simple sites it seems like overkill. Tables have been used for years for basic Web page layout tasks, and they are quick and easy to set up— exactly what I need.
That’s just scary.

Tumbling to FriendFeed

I’ve been debating back and forth for a while now between using Tumblr or FriendFeed as my personal aggregator. Basically, I’ve had most of my key feeds going into both places, and then injecting a little bit of additional content into each service, depending on what it is.

I’ve made the decision to cut over to FriendFeed as my primary aggregation point, and removed all incoming feeds (and their content, which was a pain) from my Tumblog. I’ll continue to post additional items on Tumblr as sort of an injection point, at least until FriendFeed makes it easier to post images and video.

For my full feed, please visit http://friendfeed.com/tgbdad

At this year’s Spring Convention, we are believing that God will supernaturally come down from Heaven, meet with His people, and change lives forever. This year’s theme is “First Things First.” It is taken from the first and greatest commandment in the Bible: To love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Jesus is to be our first love. Jesus is to be our first pursuit. Jesus is to be our first passion. Jesus is to be the first place in our heart, our home, and our church. Let us believe God, surrender to Him and come open to receive all He has in store for us.
