I Drink enough wine to have that covered!

The doctor said it is rare, but it happens. Its called radial neuropathy of the spinal chord, AKA: "Sat night palsy". It may be related to some of the other nervous system problems I have had due to the fact that I have ciliac disease, but did not know it until recently. I have been sick as a dog for most of my life, and always misdiagnosed, I figured it out by myself, with some help from Dr. Oz, who gave me the last piece of information it took to separate ciliac from chrone's and another unpronounceable disease I had it narrowed down to. One doctor even told me it was all in my head, but never ran any tests! Go figure! My head is the only one part of my body that works really good! Left handed typing is not to bad, but now I am going to try and make a sandwich (Gluten free bread of course), and I normally do not buy sliced meats and cheeses.

I fell asleep last night in front of the PC, and cut off the circulation to my right arm. The odd thing is that normally when one of my limbs falls asleep, it wakes back up, this time it did not. I just got back from the hospital with a splint. My right arm is still semi-paralyzed from the elbow down. The doctor said it may take days, weeks, months or may not heal at all. I don't think she was a neurologist though. I am right handed, so I will not be doing much in the way of site development until this passes, or I become left handed, which ever comes first. My keyboard is screwed down to the swivelingpull out tray I built, and the mouse is on the right and can not go to the left, its complicated.

So it has not been to long and I am Back. I have messed around with Wordpress and a few of the plugins available for it and have achieved quite a bit, as far as gaining better understanding of it all, but it has only opened up a thousand more questions!

The web is full of flaws like FAQ's but no IQ's, Help that tells you what to click on... The most basic stuff, with no mention whatsoever of what to do when stuff doesn't work (M$)! I will be back here after I have played around with Wordpress for a few days, I am already not liking it though.

Sorry justsomeguy, went to the "manage Friends" thingy and it seems that I can not choose You as a friend, unless You instigate the request!?!

What happened to Davej?

I will be on it tomorrow!

Can You send me a friend request? I can explain how that all really went down!

Randy Rhoads Had a few Jackson's, Grover Jackson was the plant manager at Washburne custom shop in Chicago where I worked years ago, he is a distant friend of mine. Like I, he has big plans but seems to be lacking the resources and is plagued by this rough economy. And keep in mind; he has a name, friends up the whazoo and clout, all of but the latter I do not have right now. If You would like, I want to add You to my friends, as soon as I figure out how its done. wont be long!

Davej, were you trying to start a new topic and accidentally replied to this one? I did not ask for anything directly, this is the suggestion section, am I wrong? That is what I did, I made some suggestions. But to be more specific pertaining to the W3schools site of which this forum is only one part of. It sounds to me that You may be eager to help, thanks for that! I will go to the proper forum to ask for more direct help. How did You know that I was working on a .pdf with mockups, remarks explanations... As to Having separate css and other files: I have a global layout throughout the site planed, but the graphics are different in each subsection as are the background music, mouse over sounds (to allow the visitor to play the page as an instrument) and so on W3 has taught me that separate CSS files ,java, php, HTML5 and what not are the way to go. I also would like to synchronize the graphical and sound events to the background groove. What "small project" are You referring too? In no bad blood, Bobzoid

Thank You justsomeguy, I thought my post reflects my appreciation for programmers and coders in its very essence. My site is on BlueHost, and I installed Wordpress as recommended via "Mojo marketplace" It turned my whole sight into a blog, which is not what I wanted. The installer had an unidentified field in it, it turns out that its for creating sub folders. The uninstaller did not work... Its all fixed now. You are not the first one to recommend Wordpress to me for building my site, it just threw me a curve and mislead me into thinking it was only for blogs. I will install it again (right this time) and give it another shot. I may be back, because something tells me that I will follow the instructions to a tee, only to end up chasing a new problem, which will have "Child" problems with offspring of their own!

Hi, I am new to the W3 forums, but I am familiar with W3schools, and have been through some of the tutorials more than once. I am here because I want to build a site for my tiny business. I build and repair guitars and basses. I have been here over ten years ago trying to achieve the same thing, and have noticed that not much has changed since then. In either case I still can not even make a simple all graphical “Welcome to” page with an “Enter Here” link on top of the background image. Some of us out there are just not wired to be able to wrap their heads around this stuff! Trust me, I am an electrical and mechanical (mechotronics) engineer, and can do it with ease. I have built many devices that are computer controlled, but they were always programmed by programmers. Most of who can not wrap their heads around the electronics and mechanics involved. It goes both ways. My first suggestion: Please go easy on those who just want quick answers and solutions without having to learn from the ground up. Some of us just need a working web site, but can not afford to pay someone to do it for them, and come here in the hope that someone is kind enough to help. My yet to be launched business is Lutherie, not web authoring. I am already overwhelmed with building the shop and specialized tooling, drumming up clients, creating documentation and graphics, legal issues... My next suggestion: Although there are a lot of samples and tutorials here, they are almost all for manipulating text. From what I can see on the web, most sites use graphic elements for most of the sight, with mouse over and click events... Text seems to be confined to articles. There is a great need for more modern and up to date tutorials and better cross-reference. How about down-loadable templates with explanatory remarks? Finally: It would be nice to see more people, offering something in exchange for the help they are seeking. I am very willing to barter. You know how to code but are not good at making the graphics. I can make great graphics but am lost when it comes to coding. Hmmm, sounds like a plan. Bob

Hi, I am Bob and have had nothing but trouble with programs that let You make Your website based on templates. Being very creative myself, I see a more exacting route I want to go, and have not found any templates that are even close to what my minds eye envisions. I am also discouraged by the fact that I have seen many replies to intelligent inquisitive posts, on many topics, to any and all kinds of forums, on perfectly valid subjects being scrutinized to a level that makes people look bad without ever a valid answer! Just so You know: It does not make You: "the master web developer" look any better than I: "The coding novice", but also the Electrical, mechanical, mechotronics and wave technologies engineer, that has already improved the chances of cancer detection and other medical advances through my hard work and research already. W3schools has given me more knowledge and reason to pursue my goals and get on with it, and make it work. But I think it could use way more examples to the graphical and audio features of the web, since most of us are way beyond text now, even if we can color it; Wow!.
