Testing The Language and Pseudo Elements

Monday, September 20th 2004

This post is a test of my new CSS pseudo elements. I have added special quotes for English, Francais and German (only seems to work in Gecko, hmm). I have also added a neat hack to show the cite attribute right after a blockquote, to show the source of that blockquote, as well as language markers for the given lang attribute. Anyway, this post is just to test them out. Note that this will not work in IE, so go get FireFox....

Monday, September 13th 2004

I was over at the WayBack Machine today, an Internet archive of old sites, and my site was on there. So I started looking back through previous designs I had, there's a lot of them. Looking back through the different designs I realized that I have been using WordPress for along time now. I don't remember the exact date I started using it, but it was around November 14, 2003 according to one of my posts. Wow, I didn't realize I was such an Old-Timer.

The Google Dance

Monday, September 13th 2004

In a previous post I talked about Google standings and I seemed to dance around the search standings. I was 10, 12, 10, 2, 1, 2, 1, etc. and was wondering just how google decided the standings.

Very interesting, have a look, you may not show up where you thought you did....
