You should help me set up my dotnetnuke blog. I can't figure the damn thing out.

whoa... that's ASP.NET code, which i've never worked with. how come you went with an ASP blog app instead of PHP?

[mistressxenobia.livejournal.com]

It came with my hosting. :)

There's another app on there too... community server?

I just can't figure out how to customize either.
I could learn the code if I had to, but I'm baffled by their portals.
Too old for this shit.

yeah, i understand that ASP is somewhat similar in function/form to PHP, but i just haven't really seen enough to know what the hell it means.

just because it came with your hosting doesn't mean you have to use it - try WordPress and Joomla - both top notch apps, and figuring out what the PHP is doing is kinda like the first time you figured out what HTML and CSS were doing.

It's a minor point, but it is an online resume, so I'll bring it up. The separate page need some space at the edges of the screen to look good.

thanks!

-i've always been pretty good at being succinct - squeezing information and meaning into few words - so i think i'll leave it like that. plus, i'm not really sure how i'd separate it.

-i do love FF, Opera, and Safari, and i hate IE. but i try to make my sites look the same, or as close as possible, across the board.

-how do you mean, "advertise it"? not sure if i understand. and thanks!

i agree completely; i think i'll just make a separate stylesheet for that version, or use some kind of PHP voodoo to insert it somehow, like pass a variable in the URL or something.

OH SORRY! I meant that first one as a compliment!

I mean, um, let people know about the online resume, it looks good enough right now to start showing off. If improvements are realized later, then can added later while looking.

oh, ok. thank you very, very much for your feedback!!

[taocub.livejournal.com]

It looks great to me, J!

I can't really give an honest critique because I am not good at doing resumes. I like what I see. I think I'd use a more conservative font. The part where you state what you want belongs in the cover letter...or so I've been told

*Shrugs*

Any help there?

[transmothra.livejournal.com]

that's cool, thanks... and i really don't like seeing serif fonts online for some reason. i think a serif font belongs on newsprint. so that's purely taste issue for me. i thought about it, but i just think serif is too old-fashioned (although i have definitely noticed that it's making a comeback, especially on design blogs).

but as far as the cover letter goes, i'm not sure i want to have an online cover letter, since it'd be best to personalise it for each potential recruiter.
