Mom’s website is up


Saturday_21:09

I woke up this morning just like I do every morning and decided to start working on some past due projects. To start with - my mom’s website.

My mom’s a teacher and has been for quite some time. Awhile ago I told her she should have a website for all her teaching stuff to keep her students up to date with everything. The only problem was that I was a web developer and sooner of later I personally would have to make the website.

Today I decided to the majority of it done. I registered her the name - theschaapfamily.com so it could be used for more than just my mom. Today I spent quite some time coding it up all up and putting the pieces together.

Now after 7 hours of working on it - it’s for the most part live. I have a couple more things I need to work on (backend CMS mostly) and making things alittle smoother for any users visiting the site.

Check it out though and let me know what you think. If you take a peek at it in Netscape 4.x you’ll be disappointed but I could care less. I don’t program for a browser that’s 5 years old and not only doesn’t support many standards that it says it does, it supports various standards wrong.

Netscape 6+ and IE 6+ is my rule - unless you’re paying for the product. Even then it’s iffy.

Side note from the long lost blog of Jodi Broersma … news too exciting to overlook, in my opinion … it must be shared.

This past Sunday it was announced that my brother and his fiance are 5 1/2 months pregnant, not only was it news to us, it was also news to them only one week prior to spilling the beans!! January of 2003 the Broersma family is expecting :) Yet, there is more … Monday night we recieved a call from my other brother and wife … they’re expecting in June of 2003 - their 2nd child. hee hee, YAHOO! 2003 is going to be one BIG Broersma year … :)

Thanks for reading in my excitment … I’ll try to keep you as updated as I can in the Comment section ;)

I think that since aaron doesn’t write to us any more, we should use his comment area for our OWN BLOG/Anouncements.

I might be willing to open up my site for various people to log in and update my site for me. If anyone is curious let me know.
