helping others help themselves.
so, I'm helping blondie get set up with her own domain and with movable type.
which means I'm working on the templates and trying to figure out ways to set things up and explain the interface so that she can do all the picture changing and entry-writing that she wants to do.
of course, I'm all geeky-computery-designer over here, gushing to her on the IM:
me: I had SO much fun stealing pics from your LJ blog and playing with them in the new design....I was sitting here, uploading them to your images folder, thinking "she's going to love this! I am SO excited for her to see this!
(not waiting for response, as usual, I continue:)
me: basically, those pics are called "pic1" "pic1" and "pic1" - so if you don't want an archive of those top pics, all you have to do is re-size any image you like to 99x99 pixels, and upload them through the moveable type interface!
(yes, I'm misguidedly training in IM, not remembering "she hasn't worked with the interface before, this is totally boring to her")
(and then the clincher: geek geek geek)
me: if you want a log, it'll require some ftp action, namely, renaming the top1-2-3 files before uploading new ones with those names...me: ooh, I think I found a firefox ftp client, so I can do the image re-naming for you.
her: huh who what where?
(remembering the reason she hired me)
me: computery thing that lets me do computer thing to put pretty things where they're supposed to go for computery thingyme: (buying her something pretty)

Does this mean Pirate_Wench_6 will be moving off of LJ?
