What happened to "Once a week?"

At the beginning of this endaevor, I pledged to myself that I would post at least once per week, but now it's February 7, and I haven't posted since January 21. 

So what gives?

It's not that I haven't been working on this -- it's that the programmer in me got in the way.  You see, a true programmer is never happy with just performing a task.  A programmer always want to find a way to automate a process.  We find repetitive elements, build functions and put them into a loop.  We write programs...

My website is no exception.  Now that I have started to get a few pages of content, I decided that I needed to script the index page, and some of the common page elements.  And, I did not let the fact that my javascript is rusty stand in the way of my ambition!

To make a long story short, instead of using my time free time to develop new content, I have spent it working on three or four javascript functions.  Of well, now at least, every page contains the same disclaimer, header, and footer, and my index.html page is dynamically built, too.

Of course, I've still got some more work on the page styles to improve the look of the pages, but, for now, I feel like I've accomplished something.
