He said things are still the same; we&#8217;re playing the waiting game. He said that the process is &#8220;clumsy&#8221; and taking longer than he thinks it should. I don&#8217;t know if I should be comforted by that. I found some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/cp\/browse\/Ntt-memphis+appeal_nr-1_N-20990727_Ntk-All_D-memphis+appeal_Nao-1\">online unrest<\/a> the other day regarding the <i>Appeal<\/i>. It turns out that some current and former employees don&#8217;t like the way Mr. Sines and a few others came in from the paper in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spokesmanreview.com\">Spokane<\/a> to revamp the <i>Appeal<\/i>. While I generally don&#8217;t like the idea of outsiders coming in to replace long-time team members, in the case of this paper, I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s a bad thing. The guys who came in to redesign the paper have truly done a great job. Just looking at the <i>Appeal<\/i> from a year or two ago versus now, it&#8217;s obvious that they&#8217;re moving in the right direction. And the fact that they&#8217;re even considering me to help them continue that movement is really exciting. Here&#8217;s hoping that the old-timers won&#8217;t resent a young whipper-snapper like me. If I even get on board, that is.<\/p>\n<p>So the site redesign is coming along. It&#8217;s very, very basic. I never could figure out how to get frames to work, but frames sort of suck anyway, so I&#8217;m utilizing tables instead. They help keep things in grids. Eventually I want to have the splash page be nothing but the head graphic and the site title. Then you will click on a portion of the cranium and it will take you to a particular area of the site. That&#8217;s actually really Phil&#8217;s idea, but what&#8217;s his is mine, so ha! I&#8217;m not sure what I have to learn to get that done (flash? java?), but I think Nick might eventually get around to ganking a copy of Dreamweaver for me, so that&#8217;s a start. I&#8217;m actually pretty happy with my progress so far. I&#8217;ve gone from being virtually clueless about the ins and outs of HTML to knowing most of the basic script required in a web document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[It&#8217;s all the same to me] I got a voice mail today from Scott Sines, the creative director at the C-A.
