h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This is me keeping track of changes and code and stuff. I'm trying to fix a broken link to the Instant Defintions. Code reads:

Link is fixed now. Numerous and various cut and pastes didn't work. The last thing I tried was removing a space between the " and the http. Although I didn't think that would make any difference

kea.

- added a joining box for new members

- removed 'alabaster' from links so users will go to page with their default skin

- added an intro line, a quote from Madam Kat, and shifted some pictures

- changed the spelling of de myelin nation on the thread intro marquee

- removed title:


DE Myelin Nation


as it's in the page title

- removed 'de myelin natio' from front page marquee as it's in the title (left it in the thread intro marquee). I added a couple of extra smileys, which I'll probably remove as they look naff.

~~~

The thread intro marquee, for future reference:


<SMILEY TYPE="disco"/>De Myelin Nation - anybody with a nervous system welcome!<SMILEY TYPE="magic"/>


<SMILEY TYPE="disco"/>DeMyelin Nation - anybody with a nervous system welcome!<SMILEY TYPE="magic"/>




kea.

- moved members section up the page and put it in a box. Still fiddling with colours, layout etc.

- posted to Gurus about the font colours in the members list in Moose's gML

kea.

- added a link near the top of the page to the intstan definition of demyelination

- played around with font colours and faces

- seem to have found the way of overriding what seems to be the default fonts when using the tag:


"...text...."

???

kea.

- removed some text:


~~~Hi.~~~ This is the official start-up page for the Nation. You will notice that down the bottom there are a few rooms(conversations):


The De Myelin Nation thought of the week: "When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do they think they're going?"
~~~NEWS SECTION~~~


old news - i have created a mascot..the small green moose. His name is Albert and I have just made him the official mascot of De Myelin Nation. Here is a picture:





~~~QUESTION OF THE DAY~~~: if toast always lands buttered side down, and cats always land on their feet, what would happen if you tied a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back and dropped it?
~~~NEW MEMBER SECTION~~~ I have decided. This section is for new members. Our newest member is Madam Kat. She really likes cats.





- shifted bus marquee to bottom of page

- trying out coloured backgrounds

- added links to Guide Entries


kea.

a TO DO note:

>>>Is there any way to scrunch it up for those of us with teeny-weeny screens though? Sorry, NOT a criticism, i am just techno-inept & operating a very ancient Beast! I have the same problem with the front page of hootoo, can't see the right-hand side of the right-hand column at all!<<

suggestion from Terri.

kea.

- updated the members, and family and friends lists.

- fiddled with the table and font colours. Still not right.

kea.

- removed this:

Conversations and Places:

* The Living Room-- Very nicely furnished with mood lighting and a sunroom off to the left. This is where we can talk about anything we want.
* The Struggle-is for when u just HAVE to whinge...
* Family and friends section for friends and/ or family of the effected.
* The cheering section, for when U are slightly too happy, and have to vent, for health reasons.
* The dorm -for sleeping in, for slumber parties primarily, but you can just move in if you want. you go in there if you just want to crash for a bit...
* The Entrance foyer. just for ppl. who want to drop by and say hi (apparently we are going to get a bit of an explanation going)
* And, the sign up room, which is (obviously) where you sign up.
* there is an Instant Definition of Demyelination for those who are curious
* and some other Helpful definitions of some other conditions
* The Guestbook. for what Guestbooks are usually for...
* And there are several conversation which are just for fun, down there also. feel free to join in

by the way, if you stray outside the conversation guidelines, in any converstaion, Terri will hunt you down and beat you with a big stick. (or so she said.) so it is in-advisable to take such action.


and replaced with a table with less conversations in it (the busier ones). Have put the table further up the page.

- made some changes to the intro, and layout recently

kea.

- Reduced the col width from cols ="100" to cols ="60". This seems to have fixed the problem of the page being too wide in some browsers (thanks TinT).

- added new member to the list.

Just testing something. Ignore this.
