We voted! Early voting seemed the way to go this year. i normally LOVE voting at my precinct location at the methodist church but lines appear to be getting longer.
short and sweet.
i have spent months trying to get my website back online.
i am sure i will be continuing to tweak my layout and sharpen up the code but my intention is to finally leave it online now.
comments finally work too, but you will need to create a github account to post. that means there are possibly three of you that are capable of posting with no work needed, and so i expect one comment per year. maybe.
here is sortof what i learned. more posts to follow on the details. just being cute as i get back into writing. i feel like there were huge gaps in the knowledge i needed and hopefully i can help someone else avoid the countless hours i wasted learning nuance for seamingly minor details.
