XPath for Navigating XML
w3schools XPath Syntax

XSLT uses XPath. XSLT looks awesome! I forgot about it.

According to W3Schools, I should avoid the use of attributes in XML, use elements instead.

I should rebuild this page in MySQL, XML, XSLT and PHP. MySQL might have an XML format, that PHP could extract, then load XSL and XML. So the PHP won't create HTML it will create XML. Then CSS will format everything. PHP can do queries.

Some of my notes from the IE Migration workshop:

Star HTML Filter: * Hides from other browsers?
	Slide 24: Demo: http://localhost/getElementByIdDemo.htm
	Slide 26: Demo: http://localhost/classNameDemo.htm
	Slide 29: Cool: <!--[if !(IE 7)]><script type="javascript.... -->
	Slide 30: Cool: gte operator, or &gte ?
	Slide 31: Cool: if(window.addEventListener) {...windows.addEventListener...}

I do like the huge first letter in each blog entry on this page, I like it for no good reason. It really messes up the last line with the permalink and "edit" hyper link. I need to force it down. When the blog entry is too short the last link line gets indented a little bit.

Also, I'd like to enlarge this edit box, and add an index of HTML ASCII codes for things like double quotes, and < symbols, and things like that. Or at least a link to a page showing all that.

An open source spell checker I just started using, with command line tools!

From a forum: (Not tested) To reset the rearm counter (more than 3 times) go to: hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\sl and edit: "skiprearm"=dword:00000000 and put any positive number. it will alow you to do slmgr.vbs -rearm one time. then repeat the procedure. but i think it won't reset the minute counter " it should give about more 7 times to rearm.
