HTML 'Jenga'

I had a minor heart attack yesterday when I caused the HTML code of the blog to break. Basically, this happened after I tried to add a feature to the page. To do this, you have to edit the HTML of the blog. For those of you who aren't nerds, HTML is essentially defined as the code that keeps the site functioning properly. Now, thinking the process would be simple, I didn't bother to make a back-up copy of the code before I edited it. That was a mistake. Therefore following the mix-up, I had to make the blog again from scratch, writing a whole new code in the process.



Those of you lucky enough to witness the downfall of The Morgan Chronicles would have seen the massive 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION' sign at the top of the page. It's fixed now though, and the construction signs been removed. Wipe those tears away. We're back.

You know what they say though, 'every cloud has a silver lining'. Messing up the blogs coding meant that I could sort of redesign certain bits of the page (for the better, obviously)

The problem with HTML is it's like a big 'Jenga' tower. If you take the wrong bit out, the whole thing crumbles and everybody laughs at you. You also have to pick up the bricks off the carpet. Obviously, that last bit doesn't apply to me. Still, nice use of imagery.
