So I’ve spent the majority of this day on two things:
- Trying to get the final computer to update so I can hook it up to the Internet (which sounds so much more simple than it is)
- Updating the layout of this blog (which turned out to be much more complicated that I ever would have imagined)
Since I don’t want to put you to sleep, I spare you the stories about the computer chaos and just get to the blog stuff. I decided it would be nice to customize the current template a bit and wanted to add a third column to the page. This basically requires a quick cut & paste effort but then the background images got all out of whack and so on. After fussing with them on and off as I tried to run updates on the computers, I finally decided to take the background image off which made everything much simpler.
What was so special that I wanted to add a third column now? Well, I came across an interesting little gadget from Houseblogs.net which you should be able to see on the right. It’s a progress tracker where you can update how far along you are on your projects which I think is rather interesting. Of course, the majority of our projects are far from even being started but at least this way you know what we have in mind for the future and what you can be looking out for.
