alexpgp | Professional site's up...

With a few minutes devoted here, and a few there, I finally put a big push on yesterday and the day before to finish the "new" professional site.

I resurrected some old FAQ material that I'd developed over the years, and beat it into a coherent document that now resides on its own page and can be accessed from the navigation part of any given page. My old home page has now become an "About us..." page, and carries - in addition to a brief summary of what Galexi Wordsmiths, LLC is all about and what's on the site - a sidebar with two laudatory quotes from clients.

Among other tweaks, I also added a "News" page (and made it the site's home page). With any luck, I'll be able to add items to that page on a regular basis (I figure at least once per week), the idea being to add items that are interesting (for the sake of site '"stickiness") and which demonstrate language skill. A professional blog in a professional register, if you will.

Right now, the news page features a highlight summary of the ATA conference and a revised version of my recent post on the Putin interpretation flap.

* * *CityDesk seems to work okay, although for the life of me, neither Galeon or Netscape (which are siblings under the skin) seem to understand the <BASE href="..."> code that I embedded in the site's template. And Konqueror's handling of the code shows that it didn't even try hard to figure out what was intended.

So, I went back in and hard-coded the navigation line, and that seems to work. The alternative would be to work in a completely "flat" file space, which seems silly when subdirectories are so convenient.

* * *As should be obvious, I'm back up out of bed. I feel better; the eyes feel less scratchy, too. There's something I keep meaning to write about here, but every time I sit down with a keyboard at hand, it escapes me. I guess it just needs to simmer some more.

Cheers...
