Success and Failure

April 9, 2003 By Will Richardson

The success is mine, sort of. Two of the teachers in my Teacher Portfolio class actually did Manila sites for their portfolios. Nothing major here, and not very smooth, I know. But a baby step. And I’ve got a couple more teachers coming in to set things up next week, so we’re getting there.

Spent yesterday working in Photoshop and Manila to create a new look for this site and cleared one major hurdle just by making something work! Still some glitches, like for the life of me I can’t get the Discuss and Edit buttons at the end of News Items to not plow into the right-hand column, but…

And it’s interesting that Dave is having the same problems. Boy, I thought I was frustrated:

As someone who loves Manila, this embarasses the hell out of me. Why can’t we get rid of these glitches? Why, when we do, do they keep coming back??

and:

So does anyone have a clue which themes are worth preserving and which should be thrown on the scrap heap? Bryan has not really been much of a help here. I must do something about this. My users are actually using the damned things, the ones Bryan says they shouldn’t. What a goddam mess this is.

Yeah…um…welcome to our world.
