As I learn more I forget more… I am already forgetting how I did something on the website. I suppose repetition is good, at least for me. There are menus and menus within widgets, hummm this is going to get confusing. ha ha
Website day 7
Okay, today it was play with menu content, adding images to widgets, and just shuffling content around.
Learned a couple simple html formats for images and hyper-links.
Website day 6
Today I explored animated gif files from many free gifs available on the web. I place one on the welcome page.
Also learned about creating and updating a gallery of photos. There are slide show plugins if we want to have a slide show of cartoons.
website day 5
Starting experimenting with more categories for posting and using widgets in the side bars
Financial thoughts
I have found these actions to be very helpful in planning for retirement:
- first create an emergency fund, start small and work up to 3 months of living expenses
- take something out of every paycheck and put it in a different account (perhaps a vacation fund)
- take 1/2 of any raise or “found money” and put it into an investment account
- create a budget and track it so you know where your money is spent
- don’t use credit cards if you can not stay to a budget (only use cash, when you are out of cash, you can’t have it)
- diversify your investments (don’t put all eggs in one basket)
- spend money socially (with friends and family)
Website day 4
Okay, so today I started experimenting with new content. I did the following:
- added some static pages for the different bug pages, taking some cartoons from bughouze
- created the left side navigation bar which includes a page for ordering merchandise (work in progress).
- put a website news page on the left side navigation and created my first post
