So there I was, merrily going along with all my newly acquired skills - sourcing and creating nice little jpegs, gifs, and pngs for the menus and things – it’s quite time consuming all this, especially while you’re still learning.
I’m finally done with my business listing page. For me, when I upload a page, it’s like the moment of truth is about to appear before my eyes. I am always so filled with anticipation as to whether my creation is going to come alive, or will I just see - “parse error on line 600.. blah blah blah....”
The moment of truth for my business listing page arrives – disappointingly, little red x’s appear all over the page, but I'm a positive soul! “That should be easily fixed,” I tell myself, “I must have used the incorrect path”. Most importantly, I want to know whether the database functions are working and whether I can search, and whether people can list. (That’s the hard part getting all that working!) Some testing reveals all is working pretty much as planned. I’m ecstatic!
The little red-x’s should be sorted out in a jiffy. Fifty cups of coffee, maybe 100 cigarettes, and a few skipped, meal –times, later – little red x’s still adorn the pages.
Hellllppppp! Google, I thought you were my friend – why aren’t you helping me find the answers to this one! If you don’t watch out I’m going to Yahoo behind your back! Yip, that is how desperate I am!
Last night I was worn out and felt defeated by the little red x’s. Today I start afresh!I am going to give myself a break from those little red x’s but when they least expect it, I am going to pounce! I’ll conquer the secret code and the business listing page will be saved!
Sigh... I hope it’s soon though!

Thanks! You get the title of "1st Commentator" - it's a pity you're anonymous and I can't bestow you with a reward! ;)
