Anna checks in..

Hey! Anna here. Once again writing between classes, so, unfortunately I have to keep this short.

Everything Anna’s new layout is finished (yay!) except for two minor details (boo…) one of which being passing validation.  Anyone who has coded seriously knows what a pain in the rear the validator is. Forget one little closing tag and then it says you have 23 errors or it says you have 2 errors and when you fix those, it suddenly comes up with 49 errors. Sometimes the program generates its own errors, especially in regards to nested tables and meta tags. Such a picky thing… *insert pouty lip here*

Some totally sweet triumphs of mine over the past week…

I created over 20 text pixels
Pixeled my very first Anna128 (portfolio webcomic) pixel
Created my first ASP page
Learned some new tricks with Photoshop
My Life Drawing figures no longer look like genderless blobs
I am getting better with foreshortening and proportions
Read a lot of manga
Found the greatest drawing technique book ever!
