Thanks a lot to the Rec.Travel Library for the linking!
Please pay them a visit to see what they have to offer…
Now I’m really going to have to go through this cleaning up of my “India” pages : )
Category: Social Media and the Web
Social media, blogging, tweeting, facebooking, web design, and all the stuff that isn’t here yet. Subcategories highlight some areas of particular expertise.
Permalinks [en]
Thanks to Daniel, I now have functional permalinks in my weblog.
Bilingue? [en]
J’ai exprimé il y a déjà un moment mon désir d’avoir un site bilingue. Par bilingue, je n’entends pas le fait d’avoir une version du site en anglais, et une autre en français.
Pour une personne bilingue, et même probablement pour quelqu’un qui a appris un tant soit peu sérieusement une langue étrangère, il est tout à fait évident que deux langues ne se “recouvrent” pas. Il n’y a pas de traduction pure. Et c’est aussi cela que je veux rendre ici.
Certes, c’est embêtant. Les seules personnes qui profiteront pleinement de mon site sont celles qui maîtrisent suffisemment les deux langues.
Mais c’est la seule solution que je vois pour le moment – et c’est celle qui correspond le mieux à ma façon de vivre le bilinguisme.
J’accueille très volontiers vos commentaires à ce sujet – spécialement en français!
Bilingual? [en]
Quite some time ago, I said I wanted this site to be bilingual.
It is now clear that there is one way it will not be done: I will not translate each page to give a “French” and an “English” version of the site – nor will I translate word for word everything that I write. I just can’t.
So you will find stuff in English, some in French, and some in both. If you don’t know both languages, you might miss things – that’s how it is in the real world, isn’t it?
New Look [en]
New look for this page!
Something to keep you waiting until it gets really better – let’s keep hoping!
You [en]
Yes, you! I know people are visiting this site : )
At the moment, it is you I am talking about…
I don’t have a guestbook, but I do have a really cool comment link at the bottom of each blog entry… get my drift?
; ) leave a little mark!
Search Engine [en]
I’ve added a functioning search engine to my site, courtesy of Atomz.
Try it!
Comment Counting [en]
Finally, after days and days of sweating, I found the solution to the “comment counting” problem. Thanks a lot to all the kind people who looked into it.
Now you can all see that nobody adds any comments to my posts ; )
Sitemeter [en]
Yay! I got a great cool free site meter. Peek at the little shiny square at the bottom of each page.
And hey, that means I have graphics on my site at last!! hehee.
RIP Music Section [en]
I just realised that I forgot to mention I had killed the music section. If I want to suggest a music pick to you, I’ll do it here.
Apart from that, I’m not really happy with the look of my site. I’ve tried changing all the fonts to Verdana, but I’m not even sure it’s better. The size of my titles collides with my text.
Sure, teeny winsy fonts look much more “pro” – but I have such a hard time reading them that I can’t bring myself to put them on my site.
I know my site lacks graphics, I have been planning to put up some pictures for nearly a year and a half, now. Only before that, I need to sort my slides and scan them – as for creating graphics, forget about it: I can’t draw to save my life.
The “comments” feature is now functional (except it doesn’t show the number of comments on the link), so go ahead and use it as much as you please – I’ll be happy to read them comments, you know…
There – done with the whining. Though if you have any constructive solutions, I’d be glad to hear them!!
