Some Site Information

My Site Log got too big, and so I had to chop it in smaller pieces! This section is the Log from the site start date (August 1998) until the end of 1998. You can click here to see the most recent entries.


Site Log from 1998
Site Entries from 1999

December 15, 1998
Today, I added the GeoCities Guest Book! It took me a while, and I'm not sure if its worth it, but check it out! Its only on my main page right now.

December 11, 1998
I finally got the Honeymoon Shots on the Jennifer page to be centered. I don't know what I was doing wrong, and it sounds stupid, but for the life of me, I just couldn't do it! I used MS FrontPage to make sure the code was clean, then I re-typed it all in, then I tried it with the tags, and then without, and then it all fit into place. *bah*

December 10, 1998
Vainly, I added 3 new pictures of myself onto the Pottsgrove Table Tennis Page! I also added 3 new shots of Frank, and 2 new shots of Paul. I scanned in two great shots of some college buddies, but didn't do anything with the pictures yet.

December 08, 1998
Wow! I scanned in 26 new pictures today, but didn't get the chance to upload any to the web yet. Hopefully tomorrow. I also made sure you could click the little yellow arrow on the Table Tennis Page to goto the PTTC Pictures.

December 07, 1998
I added the new background to my main page today. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it needs something. I am thinking of making the "glowing buttons," but will need some time for that. I also added a nice purple background to my Jennifer page. I haven't made a link to it yet, but you can click here for it. Its not done though!

December 04, 1998
I linked those new pictures on the Pottsgrove Table Tennis page, and I also made some minor changes to my Main Table Tennis Page. I removed the "perfect" from the serve, forhand, and player, after realizing there are no perfect serves, only the ones that work for you!

December 03, 1998
I uploaded about 7 new pictures for the Pottsgrove Table Tennis Page, but I haven't linked them yet. I also instituted a new background.

November 27, 1998
Turkey Day was great! Nick reminded me to update the link to Nick Flor's Rock and Roll Table Tennis Page, and so I did!

November 25, 1998
Well, another 8 days and I haven't made any additions or corrections to this web page! I did get a new computer at work, and I had to move 35 others, and that might be the reason why I was kind of busy. Today I was playing with the page I have my tribute to Jennifer. Its still not ready for production yet, so I haven't linked it anywhere.

November 17, 1998
Wow, can't believe its been 6 days since I last made a change to the site! Today, I got an e-mail from a buddy down in Florida - Jason B. - who told me about a misspelling on the Table Tennis page. So I fixed it! (what a big change, eh?)

November 11, 1998
After surfing a bit, I found a much more efficient way to explain the Tournament Results on my Table Tennis page - a form! I had some problems at first, but soon ironed them out. I also updated the Chubb Download page, putting some stuff in there about Graduation, and about how I'll miss everyone. *sniff*

November 10, 1998
Today I updated the Table Tennis page - added in the Tournament Results, and a cool table detailing who won in what division!

November 4, 1998
A few changes today. One link was bad on the Cheese Page, so I fixed it. On the Brady's Bunch page, I added the link for Chuck and Matt, and also changed around the pictures at the bottom, making them into a table, and adding the "Another Quality Site" and icon of the Phantom Four. I also changed the [E-Mail] at the bottom of this page to | E-Mail   |. I think it looks better, but I won't change it on all the pages yet. I also updated the [Disclaimer] a little bit, adding the two Netscape and IE icons, and changing the color of the Please Note table background.

November 3, 1998
I did a good deal of stuff on the Cheese Page today, adding the section about the "Old Man Who Loved Cheese," and also a few other things. That cheese page is fun. On the Main Page, I fixed the ALT= tabs, so the (20394 bytes) doesn't show up any more. I also updated the Brady's Bunch page - because I graduated from Chubb, and now I'm not as busy any more. *grin* I also looked into adding my Cheese Page to the Cheese Web Ring, but we'll see what happens there.

October 30, 1998
Some big changes on the site. I made a new Main Page up, hopefully it will load quicker, and also look nicer. I moved the Cheese stuff specifically to a Cheese Section . I still think that the main table loads a little slow, but I will work on making those images smaller, and that will hopefull increase load time. I was trying to pattern the new Main Page off of sites like Novell.com, Tripod.com, and a few of the others. Let me know if you like it or not. I haven't found a new background for the main page yet. Maybe I'll leave it white like it is now for quicker uploading.

October 29, 1998
My lovely wife caught a few spelling discrepencies on the Faith Baptist Church page, and so I made the changes today. Mostly stuff like changing "Its" to "It is" and that sort of thing. I think it sounds a bit clumsy now, but it is more gramatically correct. I hope to start working on the new main page soon, but GeoCities has been disappointing me in their Server speed, so production has been put on hold temporarily.

October 22, 1998
Alden asked me to remove something from the Table Tennis page, so I did.

October 20, 1998
A few changes made to the Main Page. I setup the table so it looks a bit better, changed a few words in the main dialog, and also added Nick's New Phantom Four Page to the bottom as a link.

October 16, 1998
I changed around the way the pictures were shown on the Pottsgrove Table Tennis Picture Page. I think it looks better now, but it might look cheesy on 640x480 resolution.

October 14, 1998
Major reconstruction to the Chubb Download page over the last 2-3 days, adding the review from 10/13, the notes from 10/8 and also a little bit about a cool game called Jezzball! Check it out!

October 8, 1998
Added another section to the Table Tennis Page: Pottsgrove Table Tennis Club Pictures! I worked for a while to get the thumbnails as small as possible, and link them to their larger pictures. Major cosmetic work done on the Chubb Download Page. I like the way the tables look. I hope someone actually downloads them!

October 7, 1998
Today I added the link to my Chubb page, and I put the class notes that I've been taking up there. Its kind of boring, and I doubt anyone else would want to read them, but for my class, I told them I'd do it, so I did! Plans are under way to put more interesting stuff that others might also want to read, but for now, its more of an "insiders" page.

October 6, 1998
Changed some wording around on the Brady's Bunch page, minor though. I made sure that all the pages link to one another and have an [E-Mail] link. Just changed some of the wording on the Main Page, the welcome paragraph. Also made sure the Izzy picture is showing on the TT page and re-worded those lines. The alignment of the images within a paragraph still seems kind of odd. I guess I should just use a table instead.

October 5, 1998
I changed some contact info on the Table Tennis page, and also added another link. I got another e-mail from someone telling me they liked the page! Cool! I also added a counter to the TT page.

October 1, 1998
Wow, it got chilly here! I updated my Table Tennis page, adding another picture of Waldner, one of Alden, and changing some wording around a little bit. I got an e-mail from Donald Winze, Pro Table Tennis Supplies Ltd., who runs a pretty cool Table Tennis page, and he liked my site! *oh joy!* Technically, my first "Fan Type" e-mail. Very cool. I also added a new verse and a new link to my Church page. I put a JavaScript "drop down" box on the Table Tennis page to save space.

September 30, 1998
Upon searching, I noticed my pages weren't coming up for some odd reason, so I tweaked the META tag a little bit. I also updated Jason Livingston's web page address, as he has moved to www.xoom.com. Also updated the Disclaimer section, gramatically, mostly.

September 28, 1998
Minor changes to the Main Page, and the Brady's Bunch page. Went through and made sure all the images had HEIGHT, WIDTH and ALT tags, so they might load quicker.

September 25, 1998
I finally got the Table Tennis Page online, and messed with it a bit. I scanned in a great forehand image too! I will probably make minor changes throughout the day today.

September 23, 1998
I made a few revisions, some spelling errors were caught by someone at my church! Busy week at work.

September 17, 1998
Today I finalized the Faith Baptist Church page and made it public for all to see. The pastor gave me a great image to scan and a change in the wording. I also was contacted by an old friend, Chuck Porter and his fiance Jen Jackovitz, so I added their links to my main page.

September 11, 1998
I successfully used both of those HTML tags, and I also found out how to use the mouseover more effectively. See the bottom of this page for a demonstration. I used it on my Church page, the Brady's Bunch page, and also at the bottom of this page. Quite a neat find! I was surfing for a new Windows 95 Client for NetWare 4.11 on www.novell.com, and I checked out how they did it, and went from there!

September 10, 1998
Cruz told me about using the BLOCKQUOTE and PRE HTML tags that he saw on BUILDER.COM, and I looked into it a little bit, but made no changes.

September 9, 1998
Worked a bit today - loaded up some pictures of Ma, Pop, Aunt Judy, Uncle Nick onto the Brady's Bunch page. I also worked on my Church's page a bit, but its not ready to be linked, so I didn't make it public yet. I also added links to the PAHS Alumni Page and the IUP Alumni Page.

September 8, 1998
Long, and great weekend! This morning, I changed the moving pictures at the bottom of the "Brady's Bunch" page - they just took too long to load. Now they are smaller image files, and they don't move, but take a lot shorter time to load.

September 4, 1998
I added some pictures of Troy and Annie to the "Brady's Bunch" page - also changed the title from "About Me" to "Brady's Bunch" - I thought about me sounded too vain! I also moved the stuff about the JavaScript to my Disclaimer section, and made a minor change or two to my Main Page. Also added a great picture of Andrew and Suzanne to my family page. I think I've got the thumbnails down pretty good; the tables still seem alien to me. I also worked on my Table Tennis section, but currently its just in text format, and looks way too much like Nick Flor's Rock and Roll Table Tennis Page, but you can view it here, if you want, but I don't want any criticisms yet! I added links to the Phoenixville Hospital, and the Phoenixville Area High School (although the PAHS page is kinda cheesy!)

September 2, 1998
Some minor changes to the Main Page, and the About Me Page. Mostly text additions. Changed the name of the Main Page to the "Great Cheese Herder's Page." Still not certain about that title. Also changed the "About Me" page to "Brady's Bunch."

September 1, 1998
I added this Site Info Page and also the Disclaimer Page . The Disclaimer Page is really just a cheesey kind of page, but I thought I would put it in. This Site Page, too, has no REAL CONTENT, but once again, I'm getting there! I also found out how to do tables, and put a few of them in various places to make things look better. Thumbnail images of Livingston and Me as a kid on my About Me page were also added.

August 31, 1998
My brother lent me his scanner over the weekend. I hooked it up and started to scan a few images. I haven't put anything that I've scanned up yet. I'm starting to wonder if I should get permission from people before I go and put their faces up on the Internet!

August 7 - 30, 1998
I didn't track the detail that I did during these days, but about every other day I would make some minor changes. I added the About Me page first. I guess we all do - its the Vanity inside of us.

August 6, 1998
I started working on the site for real. I got the web counter from a buddy's page, and started looking for backgrounds, images, etc. Since I coded some HTML in college, everything just seemed to come back to me, and I started typing with a fervor! As Cole points out, I still have no CONTENT anywhere on these pages, but I am learning a lot, and its fun.

August 5, 1998
My buddy Chris Cruz tells me about this site that is giving away 11 MEGs of free web site space. I was a bit skeptical, but after checking it out, it was TRUE! So I signed up for a web site. The site was born.
