Trying Kampozer on the Dumaguete Website.

Realizing that the website needs a lot of work.......and knowing my knowledge of ccs is a handicap, I looked for and found a "web authoring system" that's helped me clean up the site. KompoZer.

You can compare the current screenshot with the previous one. I think it's an improvement.

I'm looking forward to using KompoZer to tidy up the loose ends (when I have time).

Still Much to do on the Dumaguete Website.

Not only has it been way too long since my last post on this blog, but I've seriously neglected the dumaguetecity.net website.

After purchasing a new monitor for my PC, I discovered that the website looked horrible on a more up-to-date wide screen monitor. I was at a loss as to what I should do.

After a bit of online research, I settled on putting style="width:1000px" into the body. Doing that helped, though I'm not 100% happy with the results. (I don't know how to center the whole thing ).

Cupidmedia - the penpal conglomerate with which I am an affiliate - recently notified me that I'd have to make some major changes with all their banners. This has been a major headache...... I managed to update the pen pal affiliates page but I've a lot more work to do changing banners.

The "Penpal Website of the Week" was declared "spam" by blogger.com, so it looks like I'll have to figure out some other way of getting my affiliate banners out to the world. I'm getting modest results from my Google ads, but I miss the little bit of money I was getting from folks signing up on the penpal sites via the now defunct blog.

On the positive side, I've been using the website to post parody news website pages for my Sorry, All The Clever Names Are Taken blog. That's help increase my meager knowledge of HTML.

After a week of working to get everything up on the web host's server, I finally have www.dumaguetecity.net back online. Of course, there's always work to do - areas that need tweaking, but it is up and running.

Slowly, but Surely.

I've managed to get a few more sections of the Dumaguete web site back online. So far I have the penpal affiliates page, photos and affiliates pages. I've eliminated the Philippine adventures pages .....I may put those back some time in the future.
The index page is coming along, though not yet ready for publication.
The biggest challenge will be the Hotels and Resorts sections. That section is going to take longer than anything else on the site.
Slowly, but surely.
