the office

The exam director was on vacation all last week. Things I find interesting about her: She has an aversion to all condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, ranch, etc.) I once asked her how she can eat a dry sandwich. She said she butters the bread (yuk!). She also refuses to write with yellow number two pencils and yellow post-it notes. Her aversion here is not directed toward the color yellow, but toward things that are ordinary. She likes bright and bold inks and pencils with flair.

So while the exam director is on vacation her assistants decide to confiscate her collection of fancy pens and pencils and brightly colored post-it notes. They come to me for help in creating a ransom note poster (as a graphic designer I get these kinds of requests all the time). My first suggestion was to go old-school and cut out letters from magazines. They didn't have the patience for that, so my next suggestion was to Google it. I was surprise to find a "ransom-note generator" available, and even more surprised to find that there are many. Who new there was such a demand?

Here's one I made:

I really like the choice of white or yellow paper on this one

So get to ransom-ing!

HTML Help Please!

Ok, so I thought maybe I'd switch my template out. I'm regretting it now, but I didn't have the forsight to save my old template incase this little adventure didn't work out. Moving on. You'll notice that my links, profile, archives, that used to appear to the right of the top postings has now moved to the bottom of my page. If you didn't notice, go ahead and scroll to the bottom of my page. Go ahead, I'll wait . . .

Why did this happen? I don't know because the pre-designed template I chose showed these elements in the same location as my old blog template. "No problem," I say to myself. After all, I have taken Web Page Design 1 from Northeast Community College. "I'll just go into the html editor and move the elements myself." When I go into the HTML editor the links are no where to be found, so why are they showing up on the bottom of my page at alL? Weird. Suggestions anyone?
