It’s snowing … big flakes … and accumulating. The birds are really enjoying the snow, however. Some can be seen flying and swooping. A couple dozen are in a tree near the back fence. Others are flocking around the bird feeders (Nina feeds lots of critters, including many who come up out of the ground for the seeds the birds flick over the side). It’s snowed enough that the satellite dishes are covered and we’re not getting a signal (and it’s not being missed, either). Let it snow!

I’ve been working the past few days on the picture album capability. The first deliverable will be the picture gallery concept (pictures not associated with any particular topic). As I’m working on this, I’m also cleaning up the code, fixing some potential security holes, and making the whole process look a bit spiffier. That means doing a lot of work between XHTML (extensible hyper-text markup language) and CSS (cascading style sheets). They didn’t make this easy! Right now getting a page to work properly with a header, two columns, and then a footer is proving to be very problematic. However, I will prevail…. There has to be a way! Good thing it’s snowing because that means I can stay inside and puzzle out this little problem.
