Beating Blogger Into Submission

Blogger really isn’t set up to give you a multipage blog, nor does it make sharing widgets easy. However, collapsing geography is now broken up a bit more. Once I get through the next two O’Reilly books, will definitely have to muck around more.

Almost done with the “Head Rush Ajax” book. It’s a good thing that I didn’t review it early in the process, because the annoyance around getting the examples to run was higher than expected since they require PHP. Fortunately, MAMP solved that problem and I’ve been having a blast with the book. Some of the JavaScript examples are really painful because the authors are trying hard not to teach js, so if you’re a programmer, you’ll immediately want to improve the script as you go. Other than those two quirks, I’ve been enjoying my homework quite a bit.
