How often we forget the trials along our own journeys when we criticise others for their lackings…
“Some of the shells that wash up on the beach were once very beautiful. We don’t know what kind of journey they had to take to get them in their fragile condition. The same is true for people. Be kind.”
Linda Gifford
Not too long ago, I decided to have a go at upgrading my website. My original idea was simply to remove some elements on my page which depended on Javascript, to improve on the CSS design and then to possibly replace the trusty :mt: with a PHP-based system. Unfortunately, I did not get further beyond installing the engines (b2evolution and :wp:), porting of all the entries in my current blog using the tools supplied and played a little with the administration panel.
Just noticed that (via the wonders of RSS feed!) ScriptyGoddess has been collecting links to some online tutorials for learning about web stuff recently. This was also one of my aims with the links in the navigation menu on the right, when viewing the Blogging Category archive, but I guess you can never be too comprehensive!?
“Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibilities.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
After I submitted this quote, I decided to find out a bit more about who this guy (yes, it’s a He by the way) was since the name was not familiar. It turned out Dietrich of German origin was quite a spiritual leader/writer in his day, and he died at the age of 39. This last fact is significant because he was hanged in a concentration camp for his role in the resistance movement to the Nazi regime at the time.
Amazing words from an amazing lady.
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.
We will be judged by ‘I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.’
