Fixing Bugs on New Website

Wow, I learned something new tonight. You shouldn't use image file names longer than 8 spaces without putting an underscore in them. My best friend was looking at my revised website tonight on her husband's PC and my banner wasn't loading (gulp). I tried redirecting the URL, etc., but it turned out it was because I used too many characters in the name, she said it causes some sort of UNIX error. It looked fine on my Mac, but apparently PCs aren't as forgiving. So I shortened it and it's fine now. Apparently that was the cause of my little glass brick spacer gifs appearing incorrectly also under Netscape & Mozilla, I changed the name on them and now they are invisible as they are supposed to be. I have lots of work to do on updating image names... when you have a Mac you forget that not everyone can use 15 and 20 character long file names, I haven't used a PC in so long I guess I figured they probably overcame that barrier but not so.

I went on a search tonight for a manual for GoLive CS. I figured I'd have several to choose from, so I tried Microcenter first and they didn't have one. The guy said he hadn't even seen one, which is crap because Adobe makes a manual for everything they put out. So I went to Borders books and looked it up on their listings and there is just one manual available for the new CS version, published by Adobe and I got their only copy in the store. I was hoping for one of the Sam's 24 Hours manuals instead (which are half the price and are easier to use) but I just checked Amazon and this is the only one out there, and dammit, Amazon has it for $15 less with free shipping! I think I'm going to hang on to my receipt for this one and leave the CD untouched, it has some really bad reviews it looks like [sigh]. I have a good Sam's book for GoLive 6 but Adobe decided to move all the buttons around with CS/7 so I thought it might be nice to have a paper manual to refer to because I'm still not real comfortable with GoLive after using Pagemill for so many years...
