Lovely day of sun, flirting, dancing, shopping briefly but shamelessly. Finally got to see a whole Siamsa show. Cute boys sword dancing, several of my favorite Irish dances, either in toto or cut-and-pasted together - Patronella blended with 2 others, for example. Great hanging with Jan, Nicole, Shelly, Brian, Sarah, for sushi afterward. If any of you 3 I just mentioned who I know are on LJ wanna clue me into how to link to your blogs, I'll start doing it. Thanks to Nicole for the brief lesson on HTML after dessert. (Late Edit: that's Jan who is barelyproper, Nicole who is ellipticcurve, Shelly who is laviolinista, Brian who is groblek, and Sarah who is kay_gmd.)
Am babysitting Benjamin tomorrow. Mom's offered to pay me for 1/2 day of what I was getting from the temp agency, for sitting for ~5 hours. Nice. I was planning to do it for free.
Must shower. Hot water, meet sore muscles. Mmmm.

Nope, I'm still ignorant. Anybody got a copy of HTML for dummies?

Google on-line, there are all kinds of good html references. Also, the FAQ to the left of your livejournal window (toward the bottom of the page, under the subheading Help & Support) has a lot of immediately useful tips.

T'an Ju, Lady!
Yes, I'm going to read them & apply them. Baby still sleepin'.

Local libraries are great as long as you don't need the most recent one.

True. 'Course, I finally got off my duff & read the FAQ, so I'm a bit better off than I was.
But I want to learn some more about how all this stuff works, cos I have so many geek friends that understanding HTML a little more seems like I'd also understand a little more of how peoples' brains work & how they think & process. I could be totally wrong, but remember Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, and the bit about how learning different languages affords you a new map of the universe, that you get to layer over the old maps, and it makes your comprehension of the world more vivid and richer than it was before... Worked on my brain for Spanish, should work for this, I think.

"link to your blogs"

Noirem got it right, I think... what I want to do is make people's names, within one of my entries, into a link taking people to their blog. But I lack sufficient background in the language in question. You-all may not realize, considering how cool I am, but my last programming class was in 1987.
Yes, I've just dated myself. Whatever! May be many kinds of geek, but re: computers I am merely a reasonably competent user. I pick brains of lovely people much, but later. See folk at Plough!
