She Must Know

Thanks, Moira, for letting me post here while you're off having fun. I see that I can generate new posts, but for some reason, the change settings option is disabled. You must have known . . .

Let me say first that Moira is my blogmother, despite my ten additional years of time on this earth. She first told me about the whole weblog thing in 2001, and I've been doing it ever since. Sadly, my design skills are lacking, so I try to just steal code (and ideas) from Moira and others.

Lately I've been working on cascading style sheets, another concept I learned from Moira. I'm using it on a poetry site I'm developing. I am incapable of seeing color properly, though I don't know if I'm truly colorblind. So, the poet selected the colors based on an oriental rug in her home.

Moira suggests a photo of some sort to accompany the design, but the poet doesn't want anything too "poetic." Perhaps I'll choose a portrait or something else in keeping with the Art Deco look we started.

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
