A Boon Tutorial.

I had my Web-Mentor Mike Boon over on the weekend for some new web learning. He has some issues with my house-keeping here at hh.com and he also showed me some new crap. Actually some old crap that he told me once but I wasn't really paying attention.

I have been hot-linking pictures and apparently that's BAD.
Now I'm all up and at em with Flickr and my pictures will hosted there.

I was flying a big grown up plane called a Piaggio recently. It was a special set of circumstances that I found myself in the right seat of this awesome aircraft.
Why here it is now thanks to Flickr.

DSC00451%20%28Custom%29.JPGI learned how to manipulate the images and text in my publishing platform MovableType. For instance if I wanted to have the text wrap around a picture, I would simply do this. I would write a bunch of drivel so that there would be enough writing to go around the picture and blah blah blah.
This is actually me at the controls of the plane at 27 thousand feet going nearly 300 miles per hour. That's high and fast. Now I think I've written enough drivel, here's the shot.

I also learned how to align the text to the right and to center a picture if I want.
I can't imagine why I would but The Boon thinks these things are important. Let's try that little trick now. airplanes

I also got Gmail. Yeah baby I'm all Googled up. So far I don't mind it but it'll take a while to get comfortable and to use all the different features. But I love the Google peeps and MB insisted I get with it and sign up.

When it comes to this stuff he's not often wrong.
Next up a complete revamp of the look and feel of the site, but not for a while. There is only so much Geek-Info I can absorb at one time.

Hmmm. Moveable Type sounds way harder to manage than Blogger. In Blogger when you want to put a picture to the right or left you just tell it to do that and presto it's done.
