Lesson for the day? Sometimes tables in web sites won't play nicely. In fact, sometimes they won't play at all. It's their way or no way, no matter what is done to coax it around another way.
I was working in tables today for the funeral card pages, and for some reason--unknown and bewildering to me--one page loads as if the pictures are taking up more space than they are. It makes the table rows a little larger, so that when the page loads the first time everything shifts to be slightly larger, and by the end of the page I have table rows overlapping other page features. I do not like it, and I've made sure my thumbnails are all set to the same size, readjusted the table borders and generally done everything I can think of doing to fix it. Fortunately after you click a thumbnail it seems to self-correct. Unfortunately I have no idea what's next on the list of things to do in order to fix it. It's a problem for another day, because I'd rather get the pages uploaded while I have time, than spend hours fixing a quirk I have no real idea how to fix right now. Sigh.
This has been the weekend for the funeral cards. I took Friday evening to scan the start of them in, and the rest will be scanned as I go. It's gone fairly quickly. Once I have a collection of them uploaded, it will be much easier to maintain and update with newly scanned cards as I come across them. I'm still collecting all I can find from everyone in the family willing to share. There's so much more to enter.
When this is done, and everything I've collected over the past few years is entered, it will be as valuable (to me at least) as the family history program into which I've entered data...one source to look through a variety of data at one time. In the end it will make researching and putting together what I have a lot easier. Right now, I'm just at the stage where it's a lot of work. Necessary, enjoyable in its own way, but labor intensive.
