Poop hat einen schlechten Ruf. Es ist das Tabu, das wir so schnell wie möglich loswerden wollen, der ultimative Abfall, den wir gerne geruchlos und unsichtbar haben möchten. Es steht jedoch im Mittelpunkt eines globalen Wirtschaftskampfes und einer technologischen und kulturellen Revolution, deren Epizentren Genf und die Schweiz sind. Weltweit erleben Toiletten eine Revolution wie keine andere seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Bill Gates investiert Hunderte Millionen Dollar in die Entwicklung neuer Arten von Sanitäranlagen. Indien installiert Millionen von Latrinen, damit niemand seine Notdurft im Freien verrichtet.

Sogar die erfahrensten Baristas schaffen es nicht, aus denselben Bohnen immer gleich guten Kaffee zu brühen. Wie eine aktuelle Studie zeigt, helfen ein paar Spritzer Wasser vor dem Mahlen. Die Feuchtigkeit macht den Mahlvorgang nicht nur effizienter, sie verhindert auch Klumpen. Das verbessert das Aroma und sorgt für gleichbleibende Qualität.

Er arbeitet als Reinigungskraft in öffentlichen Toiletten. Er putzt sehr gewissenhaft. Die Handgriffe sind einstudiert, der Ablauf bleibt sich gleich. Der Mann bückt sich mit schnellen Bewegungen nach dem Abfall, den die Leuten liegen gelassen haben, er sammelt Fitzelchen ein, leere WC-Papier-Rollen. Dann zieht er sich die Gummihandschuhe über. Er macht die Kloschüssel sauber. Er seift das Sieb im Urinal ein. Mit einem kleinen Kontrollspiegel inspiziert er die Unterseite der WC-Sitz-Erhöhung. Anschliessend poliert er die Armaturen. Nimmt mit einem Wischmopp den Boden auf. Ein Mann macht seinen Job, er macht ihn gut – und er wirkt zufrieden dabei.

The Situation I’ve been reading a few emails I’ve received recently and the common theme has been a discussion around struggle and opposition. As we reach for success and make the effort to sustain healthy motivation for change we encounter to bothersome stuck states.

We can be stuck on bad attitudes, negative expectations, fear of failure or toxic relationships among...

Is your motivation lagging and are you just dealing with life as it comes at you? Listen, you do not have to lead each day frustrated by the lack of productive action in your life any longer. There are many people just drifting through life for one reason or another. The result however, is that these individuals are not using their abilities to effectively create the life they long for or the life they...

Do you feel as though you're in a rut? Does nothing feel engaging or entertaining? When you want to make sure you're still in the right direction and you don't want to settle for a mundane life, you'll discover that you need to start challenging yourself. When you take on a challenge head first, you're forcing yourself to grow. When your self-esteem needs a boost, challenging yourself can help you see yourself in a new light.

For a while now I've been thinking of moving my blog to a dedicated url. As much as I like being under the christineandbrian.com domain name, I started to prefer the move to a my own domain for my projects....

For starters, we need the <BODY></BODY> tags. This is where all your web page info goes, content, images, etc. But, for now, we will focus on the tag itself. Your background color & background image info will go within the opening tag. Let's first focus on the background color.

Here's an example of how the tag will look: <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

Notice the BGCOLOR attibute, that stands for BackGroundCOLOR We're using hexadecimal code here to get our BGCOLOR. In this case, our BGCOLOR is white (#FFFFFF) but, we can make it any color we want. In fact, if your going to use a background image, it's a good idea to make your BGCOLOR the same as the dominating color in your background image, it just looks better that way.

Now, for that background image. This tag atribute is pretty much self-explanatory: <BODY BACKGROUND="image.gif"> After you upload an image & it's stored in your websites directory, the image is given its own URL. Then all you have to do is put the image's URL in where it says image.gif. Cool, huh?

I hope this sheds some light on how to use background colors & background images.

(P.S.)

Here's some great resource sites for web development that I've found:

http://www.htmlgoodies.com

http://www.webreference.com

In the next few minutes I will show how to assign text & link colors for your webpage!

For starters, we need the <BODY></BODY> tags. This is where all your webpage info goes, content, images, etc. But, for now, we will focus on the <BODY> tag. Your text color & link color info will go within this first tag.

First let's focus on the text color. Here's an example of how the tag will look: <BODY TEXT="#000000"> Notice the TEXT attribute, that stands for the TEXTCOLOR We're using hexadecimal code here to get our TEXTCOLOR. In this case, our TEXTCOLOR is black (#000000) We can make it any color we want, though. However, it's a good idea to make your TEXTCOLOR contrast with the background color, so it's more readable.

Now, for those links. The first tag atribute is pretty much self-explanatory: <BODY LINK="#FF00FF">. There's also ALINK, which stands for Active LINK, and VLINK, which stands for Visited LINK.

For starters, we need the <A></A> tags. This is where all your link info goes, URL, etc. Ok, let's focus on the <A HREF=""></A> tag. Your URL & text info will go within this tag.

First let's focus on the HREF attribute. Here's an example of how the tag will look: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com"> HREF lets you know that, what follows is an URL & that you're going to link to it. Now say you want your link to read, My Site!

Well, here's how we do it. Note the </A> tag that occurs at the end? This makes it so your link will read the way you want.

Here's an example:
<A HREF="http://www.domain.com">My Site!</A>

Here's how it actually looks: My Site!

Now we'll go over the target attribute. This attribute has many good uses. (In use with frames, for example) You can use this attribute to open a new browser window, or to break your site out of Frames. First, I'll show how to open a new window for your link: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com" TARGET="_blank">My Site!</A> This opens a new window when you click on the link.

Here's how it works: My Site!

Now for a frame breaking link. Here's an example: <A HREF="http://www.yoururl.com" TARGET="_top">My Site!</A> This opens the new page "on top" of the old page, thereby breaking the page out of any Frames. Cool, Huh!

Here's how this one works: My Site!

I hope this helps!

Let's start w/a basic image tag: <IMG SRC="image.gif" ALT="text" WIDTH="specified in pixels" HEIGHT="ditto">.

Now, let's break down these attributes, one by one.

SRC-This is the source/url of your image file.

ALT-This is text that will be seen when you mouse over the image. Also, if some of your viewers have a TEXT ONLY Browser, they'll be able to see the text you wrote. So, it's probably a good idea to be somewhat descriptive.

WIDTH/HEIGHT (specified in pixels)-By specifying the width & height of your image, the browser makes it load faster, which makes, happy visitors! If you don't know the pixel width & height of your image, you can find out by using an Image Editor/Maker. For the sake of explanation, I'll use Photoshop. Click on the Image menu, then click Image Size. When the Image Size dialog box comes up, DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING! Just take note of the height & width, write them down if you need to.

Now, let's make Image Links

To begin, we need a basic link. If you dont know how to make a link, please refer to the links tutorial. Now here's our link: <A HREF="page.html"></A>.

Instead of putting text between the <A></A> tags like we would normally do, we put an image tag. If you'd like, you can refer back to that tutorial.

Here's how it'll look:
<A HREF="page.html"><IMG SRC="image.gif" WIDTH="specifiedinpixels" HEIGHT="ditto" ALT="description" BORDER="0"></A>

That's It, I hope this has been helpful!

In the next few minutes, I will show you how to do some simple stuff with tables!

Before I explain this table to you, here's the code I wrote to give me the table:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>Veggies!</CAPTION>

<TR>
<TD>Green Beans</TD>
<TD>Corn</TD>
<TD>Cucumber</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD>Lettuce</TD>
<TD>Squash</TD>
<TD>Celery</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD>Onion</TD>
<TD>Asparagus</TD>
<TD>Carrots</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>

Now, don't be worried by this. It looks strange, but look again. There's only 4 commands being used over & over. Here's what we use:

<TABLE> starts and ends the whole thing.

<CAPTION> and </CAPTION> places a caption over your table. The caption will be bolded and centered.

<TR> is used when you want a new Table Row to start. Notice that you need to end every table row with an </TR>. See that above?

<TD> denotes Table Data. This goes in front of every piece of information you want in a cell. You need to end every one that you open with a </TD>. See how it's done above.

And finally you finish with </TABLE>.

Now some more stuff to do with tables!

Here's the same table we worked with before but with more code added.

<TABLE CELLSPACING="1" CELLPADDING="1" BORDER="3">
<CAPTION>Veggies!</CAPTION>

<TR>
<TD>Green Beans</TD>
<TD>Corn</TD>
<TD>Cucumber</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD>Lettuce</TD>
<TD>Squash</TD>
<TD>Celery</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD>Onion</TD>
<TD>Asparagus</TD>
<TD>Carrots</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>

Now, you're using the 3 new commands listed below :

CELLSPACING (all one word) gives the amount of space between cells.

CELLPADDING (all one word) gives the amount of space (or padding) between the cell border and the cell contents. Note the cell border walls tend to fill out. A higher number fills out more. Try a few different settings to see what looks best.

BORDER tells the table how large the border should be. This is in terms of pixels. Try different numbers. I happen to like the look of BORDER=3. BORDER=0 gets rid of the borders altogether.

Now, we'll go into more uses for the table, including, not only entire page design/layout, but color as well.

For starters, let's take a look at a regular table:

<TABLE BORDER="0">
<TR><TD>
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Now, if you want the background color of your whole table to be the same, you'd put the code within the start tag, like so:

<TABLE BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

Same thing with a background image:

<TABLE BACKGROUND="image.gif">

Now, if you just want to color one cell, you'd do this:

<TABLE BORDER="0">
<TR><TD BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Or, for a one celled background image:

<TD BACKGROUND="image.gif">

With the TD attributes, you can have every cell be a different color or background image. With this in mind, you can use tables in your whole page design & layout.

I hope this tables tutorial has been helpful. Happy table building!

What Are Frames?

Frames are kinda different from anything done in html in that you are not making a page in the traditional sense. What you are making is a template where you can put more than one page. Here's an example using TABLE commands:

Page_1

Page_2

Encountering Non-Frames-Ready Browsers

That's a problem. Most browsers today accept frames, but many still don't, text-only browsers for example. The "frames-challenged" will get an error code if they attempt to log on to a page with frames. Either that or they'll get a blank page. There's a few ways around it.

• Don't do frames.
• Write a page without any frames and offer a choice to go to a framed page or to a non-framed page. That means you have to write two pages.
• Use <NOFRAME> and </NOFRAME> commands.

More about the NOFRAME command: It's simple. You write a basic framepage like any of the three above -- but -- immediately following the first FRAMESET command you put in a <NOFRAME> command and write a message to the frames challenged. Like so...

<FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%">
<NOFRAME>
The page you are attempting to enter uses frames. Click <A HREF="page.html">Here</A> for a non-frames version of this page.
</NOFRAME>
<FRAME SRC="PAGE_A.htm">
<FRAME SRC="PAGE_B.htm">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Hope This Helps!

The person, whose browser can't see frames, gets the message and the person who can read frames will get the frames page. You know, you could just put the HTML code in there rather than a message. That way, the user would see the page and never know. I hope this
has helped some, Happy Web Building!
