Giving WordPress Its Own Directory

This WordPress document was very helpful in moving things around on my site, although I still have a lot of residual tweaking to do.  Basically, my website that I've had for the last three years or so had the WordPress logic parked on the main page, and I wanted to move it, to make a blank, bare-bones HTML start page, to link either to the blog or to other areas of the site.  The webcomic, alas, is no longer the end-all be-all of stuff I've been working on, so I wanted to marginalize it a little and focus on other things.

The base site is still the same:  dscomic.com
The wordpress site will now be:  dscomic.com/wordpress and will be linked from the main page.

I'm seeing a lot of strange things with images and hyperlinks, so I've still got some work to do, but so far I'm happy with the changes.

HTML and Javascript Basics

I've been reading through "HTML and Javascript Basics" by Karl Barksdale, which is an easy-to-follow intro to Javascript.  Feels like a high school text, but I'm fine with that, as the examples are simple and straight-forward for dummies like me.

I've looked through a number of programming books, and I appreciate the books that include details of the code samples to incorporate.  Quite a few books seem to take the shortcut of either referring you to code on the CD-ROM (or on a website) when often, I like to just prop open a book and work/code directly from that, instead of having to bounce around all over the place looking for code samples.  Also, having the code in a book makes it easier to annotate comments and notes while going through it as well.

Anyhow, I've been experimenting with some of the links on the Dad's Toenail pages, including some modifications to the navbar on the side.  Nothing fancy here: in fact, the whole point of this blog is just to have a repository where I can document code that I work on.
