Delivered safely by UPS and locked securely in our wine cellar by the fine folks at The LockUp. Linda confirmed delivery and said she didn’t drink any. I will double-check in December.

In the original post, I also failed to note that our wine cellar is not new to the Antinori family. Several bottles of Antinori Peppoli (a Chianti) happily reside with us, too.

Text / HTML Editor

This post was written using the free version of NoteTab. I plan to upgrade to NoteTab Standard for US$9.95. The standard version basically adds a spell checker. The text editor functions are fine – it has a nice tabbed interface which is useful for keeping open multiple documents.

There is also an HTML library with a ‘highlight and click’ function to quickly add HTML tags (i.e. text formating and such). I formatted most of this post directly in NoteTab as opposed to the WordPress text editing facility.

Thumbs up.

Ayi or Ayis

Still not clear so, for the purposes of www.deanandlinda.com, ayi is both the singular and plural form of ayi.

And the faster we recognize that, usa viagra store the faster we’ll succeed at creating WE.

My tutor, Fan Hang Ying, agreed that the ‘few’ or ‘many’ structure was acceptable (few ayi or many ayi) and also suggested the concept of an ayi ‘group’ – ayi men.

My building has a group of ayi = ‘wo de hao lou you ayi men.’

There has been much discussion about the fact that my ayi is male and therefore not technically an ayi. Fu wu yuan (kind of like helper, I guess – used most frequently for a waitress / waiter) and nan ayi (male ayi). Opinion seems divided, so since he introduced himself as ‘ayi’ I will call him ayi.

Cascading Style Sheets

I still have not received my CSS / XHTML book – I expect it this week. My vision for the photo page layout needs to be explored further. From the WordPress Codex (aka help guide), I have educated myself to the point of waiting for the book.

A WordPress page is made up of ‘parts’ – a header, a body, a footer, etc. Within a broad set of rules, you can have many different parts, all of which are highly customizable. Each part is basically a file (*.php) that describes layout and formating rules. The parts are ‘glued’ together by a style sheet (style.css) – I previously edited my style sheet to allow for basic picture formating.

To do what I want, I just need to (a) add a new part called something like picturepage.php, (b) figure out how to set the layout and formating rules I want for the new part, (c) add this new part to the style sheet, and (d) identify the rules for how to tell WordPress when to use the picturepage part versus the regularpage part.

It’s all about parts.

I estimate my chances of doing this successfully at about 50%. I did learn how to back up my WordPress site, so if I mess everything up I should be able to just start over. Again, that is a theoretical exercise at this stage, so I suggest you read everything now just in case.
