Once again, I\’ve been going at it hammer and tongs (okay, okay, so that\’s an adjustable crescent wrench).
Creating the slides for my site\’s pages is taking quite a bit of doing, plus a lot of time! Tonight I worked on the slides for the For All Cyclists page, and I\’ve been getting the buttons from one slide to another by using a copy/edit type of function. I copy the first slide that has the buttons on it, then edit the color, text and image. But I haven\’t yet set up the actual slideshow operation.
One of the most maddening things about it is that my laptop\’s screen is much too small to show everything that I need to be able to see. Of course this means a lot of scrolling up and down, and with my laptop and on this particular screen that is a finicky operation. Not to mention the strain on my wrists.
Another infuriating aspect was that one of the slides seemed to keep getting lost! I don\’t know whether I was forgetting to save it, or what. I finally threw it all overboard for a while, and cleaned up the kitchen while I let my mind clear. After that I at last seemed to get that disappearing slide to stay put.
It also drives me crazy that the slides look different when I go into my actual site to view them. Things change size and/or position. There\’s still more white margin than I like. I need a two-week vacation right now to devote my energies to this; because, as any web site owner knows, it never ends.
