I sat here for a few hours trying to figure out how to do something in the archive templates of my new layout. I was working hard, using trial and error to figure out how to get the output that I wanted. There were moments when I almost had exactly what I wanted but one piece was missing or wrong. I didn't allow myself to get frustrated. Suddenly, it became a challenge. I was determined to learn how to make this feature in MT work. Nothing I was doing was working. Finally, I decided to take a trip the the MT Support Forums.

And there was the answer to my question. One little snippet of code needed to be removed. I had removed it a few times too, so I'm not sure if maybe it was a combination of the other tags I had in there or what. Whatever it was, it's fixed now and the layout is moving right along.

I keep talking about this layout because it's the first time I've done one without tables. I've tried to make CSS layouts before without tables but I always end up frustrated and give up. This time I am sticking it out and it's well worth it. From here I will be able to do even more things with CSS and I'm both proud and pleased with that.

Sometimes I think about all the things that I've learned about web page development since I started a blog. I marvel at how far I've come as far as design concepts and layouts are concerned. I feel excited anticipating how much more I can learn.

Oh my god. I'm a geek.
