Browsing though the pages, you saw a graphic you especially liked. You want
to
steal take another look at it, but you can't remember
where you saw it. Go to the Graphics Index page,
where all the graphics are now listed with "clickable icons" that display the
respective graphic when "clicked." Links to the original respective source of
one-time-use graphics are also included.

and extras not included on this site (such as the semi-promised semi-sci-fi
story and the semi-promised poetry section).

New Revisions
-
- Previously off-line available updated resume is now
on-line. With the following features!--
-
- ·The computer training experience has been pulled from the old "Word Processing
& Training" page and combined with the "Computer Consulting"
page.
- ·The computer consulting page is now called Computer
Training & Consulting Experience, and info has been updated and
reorganized into two logical sections: "Training & Instruction"
and "Consulting".
- ·The word-processing and training experience page is now called
Computer (and related) Work Experience and contains
only on-the-job computer-operation and word-processing experience.
- ·The Computer Hardware & Software Experience
page has been updated.
- ·Editorial portions of the Writing Experience --
Business/News/Professions and Writing Experience --
Education pages have been pulled to the Editorial
Experience page (and vice versa).
- ·The Instructional Experience page has been update
with recent corporate computer training experience.
- ·The Chronological Resume Summary (that tries
to make sense of all of the above!) has been updated with links to respective
resume pages and samples (see next).
-
- ·Chronological resume: Left-side links go to related resume pages;
internal/right-side links go to related samples.
- ·Other pages: Links to related pages and/or samples. -- Find what you're
looking for more quickly and easily!
- •Links to subsections of page added
- If you clicked on "Revised 8/5/96", above, to get to this
section, you already found this out.
- •Text changed to proportional
- All preformatted text (except for one two-column quiz sample) has been
changed to proportional text for more pleasant reading. This may
occasionally result in a "word-wrapped " Enter/Return (hard right)
inserting an unwanted blank line or in a break occuring between a punctuation
mark and its text (as it does here with Mosaic!) and prevents indented
succeeding lines in bulleted items; but the full-page text, no matter what
your browser settings, outweighs the lack of minor layout control.
- •Two-column layouts changed to one-column
- Originally necessitated by the change to proportional text, the one-column
format is easier to read!
- •Format instructions
- Browser font-options recommendations and layout test are now provided in
the opening Think Mills™ home page.
- •Nonbusiness visitors' links now on home page
- Nonbusiness visitors can jump directly to points of possible interest from
the Think Mills™ home page without threading through the table of
contents and directories.
- •Click-here boxes changed
- The "click here" boxes (originally added because people couldn't
figure out where "here" was!) only showed up in Windows, not on a
Mac. They have been changed to "Go lights." (I realize "click here"
is politnetically incorrect, but various layout considerations make them
handy.)
- •Biographical-sketch picture changed
- Same picture, new format. -- Now, the original picture is not huge
as it was from Mosaic, nor solid black and white, as it was from Netscape.
Instead, it is scaled to about 40% and "clickable". Click on the
picture (if you dare) for the life-size version!
-
- The two "sheet music" songs in the children's story
Cynthia can now be played on your
sound card or MIDI keyboard, assuming you have your system "midi-mapped"!
As of 8/12/96, the songs should load their own "player" automatically,
without requiring you to save them first to disk and then reload them!
- Click on the first "MIDI button" to hyperlink to midi-setup and
comments/instructions, if needed; then click "Return" to return to
the story. Click on the "sheet music" for each song the first
time it appears in the story. Then "switch to" the respective
player to play the song each time it appears, as you scroll the music and
lyrics! Feel free to sing along!
- •Cycles type color changed
- There was a comment that Cycles was hard
to read on its blue background. It was not hard to read from Mosaic, but it
was from Netscape. It is now white text on blue background and should be
easier to read.
- •Visitors' page fill-in form
- ·Have your name added to the Visitors' Page by
simply filling out a form, rather than writing an e-mail message!
- ·Two new visitors added.
- ·Someone left his/her suitcase behind. (new graphic)
- •Spruced up formats
- Page formatting has been tweaked and improved throughout with true HTML
formatting, ironing out the mixed metaphor bugs of and adding touches not
allowed by CompuServe's HPWizard.
For examples: Text now wraps around images. CAPITALIZED EMPHASIS is now
replaced with boldface and italics. Some images are now
"clickable." Links now center in both Netscape and Mosaic. Text blinks.
Heads/text are in color (if your browser permits).
- •Overbearing backgrounds redone
- The heavy "Teacher, Teacher... " background of the
Education Samples
directory, the pink and blue footsteps of the
Children's Stories directory, and the windmill
wallpaper of the
Phone Numbers pages have been reformatted to
a vertical-strip format. Of course, if you refused to use 12pt. type, some of
the copy may still overlap into the graphics!
- •Fix for tabs and double-spacing
- Using a supposedly Windows and Mac nonprinting character, indented
paragraphs and two spaces between sentences can now be done.
Please e-mail me if these
spaces show up as garbage on your system.
- •Return to table of contents returns
- To help you return to the appropriate Table of
Contents or Section Directory, backward links have been re-added to the
ends of pages. This is easier than tracing histories or "back"ing
to the wrong link.
Errors/glitches Corrected:
•Unwanted extra blank lines added automatically by HPWizard removed
•Replaced HPWizard's extra vlink glitch with new alinks
•Fixed resume bullets to print from Netscape (always did in Mosaic)
•Restored (hopefully) graphics lost in first revision (second upload)
- •Added B-flat to "Cynthia's Song" sheet music graphic
- (There is no B -- flat or otherwise -- in "Cynthia's Song", so
how is one to know it's supposed 2 b flat? -- Other than that it's obviously
in the key of F, that is!)
- •Fixed terrible error in "saw " example of vocabulary book
- (A cut-and-paste-forgot-to-change mistake)
- •Fixed/reformatted MuAths™ puzzles
- ·Separated puzzles into a page per graphic to speed up loading and free up
memory
- ·Added missing letter clue to MuAths™ puzzle, Day 4
- ·Added missing letters answer boxes (!) to MuAths™ puzzle, Day 1
- •Fixed at least two typos
- (Children's Directory: careers, not carrers. MuAths™ puzzle, Day 1:
took the errant e out of the microwave! It was a bad day all around.)
