i’ve slowly been putting my poetry online. these past few months i’ve been going through some of my old writing & i realize that there is a lot of it. i mainly keep all those old poems and musings in a big milkcrate–not a square crate but, rather, one of those rectangular ones. it’s packed completely with sheets of paper–handwritten, typewritten and printed. of course, like a complete idiot, i managed to delete everything significant off my old harddrive, so now i have to go through the paper archives. and whatever i don’t have in that blue crate is unfortunately lost. i decided to use my poetry as a way to experiment with CSS more. thanks to Tantek’s encouragement i’ve been learning CSS this past year, and it’s really changed the way in which i build websites: my code is cleaner and the CSS has opened up a new realm of creativity for me. and if you start seeing these little buttons on the pages of sites that i’ve built, it means that those pages are written with valid code: i reached a personal design milestone this month, as Tantek recognized my recent efforts to write valid code and commended my new poetry vault that is slowly growing here online. i hope you enjoy the poems & the design. many many thanks to Tek for his support and his time, in my quest to become a better designer!
