I started to play with the Stylish plugin for firefox. This allows me to make changes to my css code by hitting an update button. I can then explore all of my site with the changes showing up. You won't see them, which is nice! This is a great tool. No where near as powerful as greasemonkey, but more simple, and easier to make changes. At some point soon I will need to make a list of my must have plugins. I only wish I didn't need to restart firefox so much. Oh well.
Blogger seems to give a powerful bases to make a template. I am more used to Joomla, and I am thinking about learning django. However that will take a lot of time. Also not all hosting ficalites offer python, or if they do, it's not on there cheap plan. I need to ask myself how much I think I will be using this. Python never did seem all that cool to me. I remember learning PHP, it was magical seeing pages come to life. Python was easy, less annoying than tikle. Maybe I should give ruby a try instead. I learned a little ruby for my invoice reports in datavision. It hard. However I was running an ruby interpreter written into the java runtime grabbing data from java to format it for the report. In other words I was not just using standard ruby, so everything was convoluted, even a simple hello world!
So much to learn, so little time to perfect! Now I hear work has started on a new version of html. What do I need to do to keep up? I keep finding new things with CSS all the time; I only started to learn javascript, and am quite the newb at PHP. Web devlopment can be so daunting some days.
