It's sooo slow

I always forget when I start doing heavy-duty Web site development how slow the process is. Some people are probably more organized than I am. I muddle up the coding, design, and information architecture, and going back to my Web development books to remind myself how to do something. Here's the site I'm working on:

I get very proud of my sites, no matter how simple they are. I now need to figure out how to make links not turn blue and purple. I know that's simple, but I'm not sure which keywords to use. And I don't know if that goes in the style sheet or the HTML document...

Technical Problems and Harry Potter Poster


I spent almost an hour and a half wondering why I couldn't get a web form to work, and it turns out IT was having e-mail problems and it had nothing to do with my lack of competence with Java Script. I thought I knew plenty to cut, paste, and manipulate, but was getting worried.



Here is a picture of the "Where's Waldo" picture I drew for Harry Potter Night. There's an object hidden in it the students will have to find. I had a lot of fun coming up with every obscure reference I could fit into a single sheet of posterboard. We're expecting this to be the most difficult challenge.
