this page originated from two places. the first is that i don't have a standard place for people to go to to find information about me... that and they seem to be getting diffferent versions of the same story, so i thought i'd make their lives [and mine] slightly simpler if i just set up a page - i mean, i'm on three mailing lists now and it's getting kind of difficult to keep track of what i've told whom. this way, everyone gets an equal footing. ;)
secondly, i had a vague desire to learn .html, which i think i've sort of fulfilled, i mean, i did code this by reading other peoples pages and then trying to decipher exactly what they were doing and how they were doing it. [i still have no idea of how i set up the frames, i just know they're in there somewhere and they work. occasionally :)]
ok, so how did i write this page?
well, firstly, i began to write down what i wanted the page to do. and not do. i wanted it to be informative, but i have this idea it's a little boring. [grins - i guess overload about a virtual stranger can be a bad thing.]
i didn't want to go the usual route and pick up a webpage builder, i also didn't want to call someone to write the code for my page, so i'd resolved, pretty early on that i was going to do all of it on my own, or not at all. the first thing, off course, was to learn .html. which actually wasn't that difficult. i learnt by reading the code itself and [occasionally] consulting guides/mentors when i got stuck. [thanks werewolf for that little tip about spacing and thumbnails.]
most of the code here was written interactively, ie, whenever i'd written a section in edit, i'd save it, and then i'd bounce to msie [micorsoft internet explorer - sorry, i don't have a copy of netscape - i wish i did, though.] to see how it looked. along the way i built most of the backgrounds and some of the buttons in 3dstudio release 2. [i think that's it's version.]
the whole affaire couldn't have taken more than about a week. [yes, even i admit that it's not the greatest page in the universe, but it was fun to write ;)]
anyhow, that's it... if you want to talk, or whatever, you can mail me, just hop back to the main page and hit the mailerdaemon button.
