A Lot To Learn and Some Art News

Since my last post I made myself learn XHTML and CSS. XHTML was easy since I already knew html, but CSS is a bit more challenging for me. It's really the reason I haven't been able to do everything I want to do in my website. That plus Javascript perhaps. Anyway, I changed the title to a simple thing I made in Photoshop, but it wasn't the code I learned, it's just an option I wasn't aware of in the Blogger Dashboard. I've been trying out what I learned so far in Notepad which is pretty minimal right now, it's gonna take practice. Eventually I plan on doing my own template, as soon as I learn everything I need to know. 

By the way, I found it pretty hard to find good, clear information on how to make your own template. I also see people cashing in on the need for original templates...not mad at you, just saying. There needs to be more good, clear, AND FREE information on the web. I just wish I could speed up the process of learning all this stuff, I've got tons to do with it!

Ok, so a bit of art stuff...I mentioned plans of some sort, well, this week is an important week and I won't say much more than that except my life drawing in my first post has something to do with it and you will know more in about a month's time.  

Also, I recently heard the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York is closing due to rising costs in Manhattan. For those of you who do not know, the Dahesh specializes in 19th century art and I believe it's the only place you can buy the Charles Bargue Drawing Course book. The Bargue book has all of Bargue's lithographs aimed at teaching classical drawing; really a valuable source and I can attest to that. Anyway, the museum is closing and sadly I haven't even visited yet. BUT, I think they will be re-opening again soon so that's good news. I'll keep you posted! 

Visit the Dahesh Museum Website for more info.
