Dial 1-800-HTML-HELP

I am so fed-up with getting my website ready that I could just cry. It seems like the second I get one thing going and working, the entire format just falls apart. I've got the website built...now I'm adding content. I'm attempting to add 7 photos and their captions to my "Other Work" page. I've styled the photos so they show up all aligned to the right side of my content container. But, when I preview them, they look scattered everywhere. And when I go back to add the caption into the page...it really does scatter everywhere in dreamweaver.

It's been like this the entire time I've been building this website and I'm one more meltdown away from going to wordpress. I realize that HTML coding is something I need to have a basic understanding of for what I want to do for my job. And It's important to know a software like Dreamweaver. And I thought having a website to showcase that I know all of that instead of using a template-based service would be the thing to do. But I'm getting grey hairs here...really...no jokes. I invite you to come look at my scalp. If the KOMU HDTV signal doesn't show them, feel free to ask.

The most frustrating thing of it all...I can't start applying for jobs until it's ready. And frankly, I need to get on that. Quickly. I looked at the calendar today and realized I graduate in less than a month, and my website isn't even ready. Granted, my resume is on it. Just, none of my work is either formatted correctly or visible.

I know that once I get this done I will be immensely proud of it. It's been a very long, very hard journey, and I'm so close I can smell it. But right now it's really discouraging that I can see the finish line and not get there.

Speaking of seeing the finish line and not being able to get there...
Fell down the stairs last night and fractured my ankle. So I'm in a boot. I can't wait to head back to the Capitol for MNH in my ortho-boot. Oh, and MNH, speaking of seeing the finish line and not being able to get there...


Now you see why I'm going grey?
