I have an ipod classic that's about a year old now. Lately, whenever I hook it up to the computer, it doesn't show, is corrupted, needs reformatting, can't do that until I let the battery die because the ipod froze, but it didn't freeze til I plugged it into the laptop.

Grrr.

I was attempting to update some of the apps on my touch through the app store and two of the apps have frozen in the update stage and have been that way for about a week now. i tried going back into the app store and redownloading, but since they're technically there it won't let me. i hoped when i plugged it into my computer it would update, but no luck there either.

any suggestions?

I love this example of the flexibility of CSS. We're not that flexible here, but it's amazing what you can do with judicious abstraction and application of images. I mean this and this are exactly the same HTML.

I really need to grok CSS.

I am amused by the illustration in the "Make 'em Proud" design.

I think Make 'em Proud is my favourite, in terms of how much styling was done to the base HTML.

I'm currently working on diagramming the CSS structure of the two main pages here--index.php and showthread.php. I'll link to the GIFs in BBABB++ once I'm done, if you want to play around. I found this site has very clear (if repetitive) explanations of some finicky things, and it gave me the idea of drawing it.

Any excuse to Visio!

I've also requested Xhtml and CSS for Dummies and another book through Interlibrary Loan.

I'm trying to teach myself some CSS through taking an established site and poking at the code to see what happens. The results are, um, variable.

Yikes. Try the Aussie site I linked to. It really walks through stuff nice and clearly.

I learnt most of my CSS just reading the W3 docs. That was messy. The next quantum leap was trying to translate b.org into CSS only. Jon stepped in and did tricky stuff like browser compatibility, but it got me over much of the positioning hump. I just wish I'd known about the css.maxdesign.com.au site at the time.

Now I'm laying out the boxes in Visio for the CSS on our site. Man, it's crowded up in here. And we're nothing compared to many sites out there.

A List Apart is another excellent source for tutorials on CSS and xhtml. [link]

eta: Also, don't forget a link posted by moonlit a few months ago. The Opera Web Standards Curriculum, has a section on CSS, amongst other things. [link]

Oh, I love CSS Zen Garden. I just haven't had the time to really work through much of anything on it. So when we got a sort of premade site at work, but wanted some menus to move around I googled some directions and then poked at things until the menus went where I wanted. Eventually I'll have a few (maybe a few dozen) hours together to learn CSS properly.
