IMAGE ROUND-UP

I have spent the day fruitlessly trying to round-up all my digital images only to end up flustered that i seem to have deleted some of my favorites.
When i finish this round-up I'll bung them all in a zip file for download.
Who knows someone may have a use for them.

The images are:- view from Sirhowy Tredegar, my garden, Cal, Tulip in Sophia Gardens, Roches de naye (Switzerland) and my Coronet box camera.

EDITING CLASSIC BLOGGER TEMPLATES

I have started to edit the classic blogger template "Rounders 2" (the style sheet for this blog) as this will be an on going project and my first blog. I've quickly knocked out a new logo with the words beta 1.1 included, cheesey or what!
Does anyone have any tips for editing blogger style sheets?
Please Please could somebody drop by and leave some comments it's getting lonely in here.

Create a web design studio for FREE!

Who needs dreamweaver and photoshop!
Create your very own web studio for free
with the best free software the net has to offer.
Firstly your gonna need a text editor, personally i prefer html kit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ this great little editor can easily deal with your html, css, javascript and php and also has a vast catalogue of plugins available including html tidy.
For editing your css on the fly why not try the firefox plugin firebug http://www.getfirebug.com/ works straight from your browser and splits the screen between code and design view just like dreamweaver.
As for vectors checkout inkscape http://www.inkscape.org/ , and for your photo editing
look-up http://www.gimp.org/.
This is just a quick rundown of my favs hope it was helpful.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks

The Rhodesian Ridgeback or African lion Hound, was not as many people have been lead to believe a lion killer. They were however used to track lions and hold them at bay until the hunters arrived. These dogs were used for the great stamina and courage they possessed.
The above photo is of my five month bitch Kina. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a large athletic dog and my five month old pup already weighs 22kgs. Like most dogs of her age she enjoys the age old past times of digging-up flowerbeds and chewing footwear.
