This has got to be one of the best interviews ever!

The Mayfair Hotel and Spa interview!

This has also made me decide to add in a “sound bytes” page (link is in the right column under pages).

Again, the answer to question #1 is NOT THE INTERNET

Seriously, this is the third caller in nine days with the same answer. Obviously these people are not true fans of the show if they’re calling in with an answer that is being given every 3 days.

Again,

IT IS NOT THE INTERNET

Will I apply for SDJ’s position?

admin — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:54:09 +0000

I’ve received a few emails asking if I was going to apply for SDJ’s old position. At this time, I do not intend to apply for the position for many reasons (as much as I would love to work for the P&YR show).

The requirements (listed here) I do not meet them. Even though I do know how to use FrontPage (well, now it’s Web Expressions) and DreamWeaver, I prefer not to use them (nothing beats notepad for web programming) and my knowledge of PHP is extremely limited (this site is just a Wordpress blog with a fancy template) plus the call for PHP usually turns into a call for MySQL also, which I am limited to (but I am learning phpMyAdmin).

Also, I am content in my current IT position which I think would pay more than what they would pay a web programmer (not 100% but pretty sure) and running this site would definately be a conflict of interest with the show (and I have to admit, this is probably my most entertaining web project). Nothing like a project that you have to listen to a radio show, one that you enjoy listening to, to keep current.

But, for the show people, to add an image to a site:
< img src="(location of the image)" >
(take out the spaces before and after the brackets and remove the parenthesis)
Is the basic of it, you can also add in width=”n” and height=”n” tags to force a size and alt=”text” to add in a descrption that appears when someone hovers over the image with their mouse pointer.
