http://www.npug.org/weblog/ This is a personal weblog for my activities with the Nashville Palm Users Group (NPUG). Think of this weblog as a personal diary of my thoughts and activities as the Director of NPUG. en-us 2004-06-05T00:22:12-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000114.html Tonight I spent some time focusing on the navigation and I got the main navigation complete! I'm doing it all with CSS and standards based web design. The navigation is simply an unordered list and I'm using CSS for all... mashby 2004-06-05T00:22:12-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000113.html After checking my post on my last entry, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to apply the template to this weblog. Seeing the default MT template just really drives me nuts. Given that I've finalized the colors and most... mashby 2004-05-29T09:42:15-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000112.html After playing around with colors yesterday and this morning, I finally found the balance I was looking for. The only "bad" part about it is that I had to choose a non web safe color. It's in the logo section... mashby 2004-05-29T09:19:07-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000111.html I just haven't been all that motivated this week to get back to work on NPUG. I went on vacation last week and I've been recuperating. I guess we just wore ourselves out on holiday, because today is the first... mashby 2004-05-28T15:49:13-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000109.html Well MovableType 3.0 was released today and although that's great news, that puts a little bit of a kink into the backend of npug.org. Why? Well, because SixApart (the makers of MT) have a different pricing structure now. Prior to... mashby 2004-05-13T22:48:43-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000108.html I updated the About Us page updated. I added pictures for Charlie, Randy and George that I took at the last meeting. Still missing some bios, but hopefully those will come soon.... mashby 2004-05-10T11:14:08-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000107.html Last night I held an IRC meeting for the Leadership Council. The idea is that once a month we meet online to discuss the management of the PUG. Unfortunately only one other person showed up, so it was just Randy... mashby 2004-05-10T11:12:15-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000106.html One of the things that I forgot to consider when designing the new NPUG design was that I have to create a private section for the Leadership Council. I was reminded of this when I went to post the chat... mashby 2004-05-09T19:46:36-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000104.html I'm almost done with Chapter 11 in "Designing With Web Standards" by Jeffery Zeldman and I'm itching to begin appling what I've learned thus far. This book has really made an impact on me and I'll never design a web... mashby 2004-05-08T12:35:06-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000101.html I just realized that I never posted the rendering of the new NPUG design. You can find the image at this link. The rendering is the workup I do in Adobe Photoshop before beginning the coding of the actual HTML/XHTML,... mashby 2004-05-04T12:04:26-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000100.html I worked on the redesign some more. I gave up on the CASS layout and added tables to get everything to line up. There's still plenty of tweaking to, but at least the rough framework is done. :) I should... mashby 2004-05-04T10:39:00-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000099.html I've been working on the redesign of the NPUG website for about a week now. Based on my apathy for the current design and the initial feedback of the poll I've been running this month, I felt it was time... mashby 2004-05-03T15:34:13-06:00 http://www.npug.org/weblog/000098.html Welcome to the "Administrator's Log".
