My professor for Adult Public Services commented that the planning process is really a “fun academic exercise,” as if such a thing were possible.

I decided to try and teach myself to use tables to position stuff on my web pages. The result: my ultra-boring, yet functional resume. I also made a few changes on the wedding website, having added a basic navigation bar and some new links. Now if only I could do something clever with Flash…
