Maze It's okay not knowing how to build sites around code. It's better if you know how to build sites without iWeb, though. Dreamweaver's infinitely better. Dreamweaver may well be infinitely better, but at the end of the day, nothing is better than well formed hand coded XHTML. In the working world, Dreamweaver is only used by graphic designers to layout the page aesthetically. The page is then converted to more efficient XHTML and CSS. HTML is a piece of piss to learn. The W3 Schools tutorial will teach you the entire language from scratch. From there, you go to learn CSS from their tutorial on that. CSS takes a bit more effort to learn, the Box Model confuses me even to this day. Neither of these skills require any sort of computer programming understanding, they are simple and straight forward tools that you can pick up in a matter of hours.

CuAnnan CSS takes a bit more effort to learn, the Box Model confuses me even to this day. I swear that part of the problem with the box model is that it's implemented different ways in different browsers. Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Ehhh, I think I'll just stick to graphic work by Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm getting the Creative Suite Student edition soon and I'll only really need Photoshop, Illustrator, Image Ready, and InDesign.
Dreamweaver and Flash are just add-ons for me.

It's been a while since I've actually poked any CSS, but what I do know is that functionality is seriously restricted in iWeb. Do not want.

Gho the Girl Recursive Paradox Advantages of looking so much like a natal female now that people don't realize I was born male: 1: People don't second guess my identity anymore. 2: People don't ask me questions regarding the status of my genitals and other hugely rude violations of privacy. 3: Less angry bigoted people follow me around with the intent of doing me bodily harm and make it necessary to dodge through crowds or move with large numbers 4: I can use the girls bathroom now without worrying about being assaulted! 5: Dysphoria is epic low now. I can look in mirrors without wanting to peel off my face and light my body on fire. 6: I don't need to wear a pound of makeup to go out anymore. Disadvantages of looking so much like a natal female now that people don't realize I was born male: 1: Bye bye male privilege, I didn't even realize I had you till you were gone. o_O 2: I'm a minority sexuality now... 2a: ...AND WHY ARE SO MANY OF THE CUTE FUN GIRLS STRAIGHT NOW? crying 2b: Guys hit on me more. And by more I mean all the ******** time. x_x Lesbian does not mean I'll make an exception just for you. Assholes. Doubt it'd help her. I have a rainbow wristband that says "Pride" that I wear every. single. day. and I still get hit on constantly. >.<

What are male privileges?
Methinks I have been missing out.
Some people take pride symbols to mean Bi as well as purely same-sex.
I really don't understand the whole process myself.
Also, back from the hospital and alive.
I may have CCR5-Δ32, which would explain my continued survival despite exposure to some pretty nasty stuff.
If so, it's off to donate some marrow for me. 3nodding

So it may come as some surprise when I say SELL THAT s**t If you donate it to a hospital, they're going to SELL THAT s**t You could be the cure to AIDS

@Tea: Yay dancing! Gho the Girl Well, the second list makes me feel better about not being able to transition. I'd say "drive them away with an "I like Girls" t-shirt, but depending upon the breed of heterosexual male, that might actually backfire. Especially since a lot of guys have assumed that lesbian means "threesome material"? Yeah, definitely a backfiring situation.

mute_coyote Recursive Paradox 1: Bye bye male privilege, I didn't even realize I had you till you were gone. o_O Do you mind my asking what kinds of differences you've noticed? Everyone wants to do things for me instead of just telling me how it works so I can do it myself and learn it. Especially with computers. I actually have to snarl at people to let go of my ******** mouse and keyboard so I can learn this stuff. People ignore what I'm saying or gloss over their eyes more often now, even when I'm talking about intelligent or scientific stuff and it's within their field. It's like what I say suddenly has less validity than it used to, simply because I have boobs. There's a lot of assumptions regarding my emotional state too, that get sort of irritating. People assume I'll get upset at a lot of things that aren't upsetting. People have assumed now that I like being sexually objectified by crude comments and are surprised when I get offended. Sometimes they get indignant at my offense. That's all I can remember right now.

Happy birthday darwin!!! dramallama dramallama dramallama
To celebrate, I drew a picture of him in the corner of my maths book....
@RP- To an extent, welcome to womanhood. I've found some guys have this unconscious thing about women needing their help and protection all the time. It can be quite endearing at times and damn annoying at other times.
As for the glazing over thing cos you have boobs, thats just plain rudeness.
By far the most annoying thing a minority of guys do (the rude sexist ones mostly) is automatically assume you have PMS everytime you get even remotely moody. When they bring that up it's so ******** rude I want to slap them.
I once got pissed at my best friend because he insulted me. He turned to his boyfriend and had the audacity to say 'she must be 'on the blob''.
.....FOR ******** SAKE!!!
How dare he? In fact, he's descending into a negative gay sterotype of objectifying women, and I hate it. No...it is not ok for you to talk to me like i'm thick and call me babes and address me as 'oi! girl!' just because you are gay.
I've never got stick about gayness. I'm pretty wrathful, so when I got inadvertantly outed everyone was scared I'd kill them, so no jokes. wink

I actually have to snarl at people to let go of my ******** mouse and keyboard so I can learn this stuff. This is probably the one I get the most and the one that pisses me off the most. (I haven't noticed much of the "eyes glossing over during intellectual conversations" stuff, thank goodness.) I LIKE carrying my own stuff. I LIKE learning how to do difficult, technical things. I think a lot of guys are raised with the notion that women like having things done for them, that it's attractive and a sign of chivalry. Frankly, I'd be more attracted to somebody who taught me how to do something rather than doing it for me. Of course, there's definitely a continuum here. Some guys are great to hang out with; others assume that because you're talking to them you think they're hot. *facepalm*

Depending on exactly how moody I was and how much I liked the person, I might either calmly explain how amazingly rude that was or yell at them until they looked reasonably frightened.
