Unique?

Ok, it appears that I am "unique". So what if I blare music really loud while conducting it with my hands; enjoy random humor; love the country, country music, and country food (polk salad, all kinds of cornbread (no sugar), and fried chicken liver)?

Decide for yourself. Here are some things about me:
-I like techno
-I have had my nails painted more times than I can count
-I like movies (especially Meg Ryan movies)
-I like good hair
-I go bonkers for Flash games
-I use the word bonkers
-I love singing more than I can actually do it
-I admire Dan Kittrell
-I love shoes
-I absolutely love pumpkin pie
-I like to dress up in a suit
-I make faces at myself while driving
-I like hanging out with my dad (no matter how bizarre he can be)
-I have let a friend (a 12 yr. old girl) and my sisters completely dress me up as a woman--at times including makeup, wig, and hat
-I like sports but am not terribly good at any of them
-I am not weirded out by Paul Steele's tongue
-I like the water
-I like math and science, but I am in art
-I enjoy flowers
-I love the smell of perfume
-I regularly trim my finger and toe nails (and keep them quite clean)
-I don't like cats, but I do like kittens
-I cannot cook (except for breakfast because it is my favorite food)
-I am not allowed in the kitchen in any family member's house
-I think Jeremy Bryant is a 34 year old man
-I lived with above for 2 years and have been friends for ~11 years
-I love Mexican food
-I often wonder what it would be like if words had different meanings (Could you not eat with your watch open?)
-I love books but don't like to read

Some of my favorite secular artists and musicians:
-Alabama
-Boyz II Men
-George Strait
-Barry Manilow
-Enya
-Beethoven
-Rod Stewart
-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
-Backstreet Boys
-Elvis Presley
-Sting
-Michael Bolton
-Chicago
-Josh Groban

That is by no means all of them, in fact my entire iTunes playlist is my favorite.


What do YOU think? If nothing else, I have seriously hurt my pride.

Tutorial Tuesday

Welcome to the newest part of Squatty Wisdom! Most people have Friday Funnies or some sort of weekly post. Well, now I do as well. Tutorial Tuesday! On Tutorial Tuesday, I will try to offer step-by-step instructions in areas (particularly, but not limited to, web) that people may find useful. Please, feel free to ask questions.

To kick off the first Tutorial Tuesday, I will cover a common problem.

Links

If editing for your Blogger blog, first look in your Template for this:

<ul>

<li><a href="http://news.google.com/">Google News</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=110">
Edit-Me</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=110">
Edit-Me</a></li>

</ul>


Now, it is time for a brief lesson. <ul> means an unordered list (bullets). <ol> means an ordered list (1., 2., 3.). <li> means the start of a link. </li> means the end of a link. <a href="URL"> is where you will put the website URL for the link (inside the quotation marks). Now, whatever you type between <a href="URL"> and </a> is the title of the link and will appear on the web page. <a href="url">Text to be displayed</a>

If you want to change the title of your box for your links ("Links" on your blog sidebar), just change the word Links in <h2 class="sidebar-title">Links</h2> to whatever you want to appear.

Want your link to not be underlined?
<a href="URL" style="text-decoration: none;">.

Want your link to open in a new window?
<a href="URL" target="_blank">.
