There are still a few small issues with this layout but I can’t seem to solve the problems, as of yet.  Bemused.  I know it’s more green than a tin of peas¹ but I quite liked the combination at first.  Not so sure now…

Any advice or opinions are welcomed with open arms.  There’s something(s) about the layout which I’m not too sure about but if it gets flagged up then I’ll definitely look into modifying the mentioned bits.

N.B. The CSS is not valid – that’s due to me incorporating CSS3 elements – nor does the HTML but that’s not really important²

1. Strange, considering I’m not that keen on the colour green, or peas for that matter. [↩]
2. I always seem to get a problem with validation due to the search form, after every new layout as well.  Bane. Oh well, here’s to looking into the problem once again. XD [↩]

[Off topic]Yay, three weeks from university!

Tumble weeds will roll by more often as I’ve got nothing interesting to post (have I ever? ) and I’m currently working on a layout.  It’s coming along okay and almost complete, except I’m stumped on how to style the comments.  I’m also getting glitches which images and don’t have a foggiest for the solution.

Don’t really know how I feel about the layout, which is never a good sign but it’s a learning process.  Also I feel the layouts different to my other monstrous creations, which is always good.

Hmm…maybe I’ll post about football-related thoughts.  It’s interesting and very appealing to the whole public…

If you’ve been bored enough to read my 100 Things – or rather 22¹ – then you’ll know that one of the points was to help change life/lives of people who aren’t as fortunate, with aid of man power rather then money.

My friend and I saw a notice in the canteen about Platform2; which essentially is scheme for volunteers to travel and make a difference in less developed countries.  On a whim we opted to take part and even got the forms ready.  Months later my friend is going ahead with plans, however I’m thinking otherwise.

Late a night I’d be thinking about the humbling experience and how great it would be to physically help out…until the what-ifs started popping into my head.  Would I appreciate the opportunity if I did get accepted, or would I sit and moan?  What are the people like?  Where do you find the line in reality between adverts and TV programmes such as Comic relief?  The former unveiling a more melancholic situation and the latter displaying high spirits.

It does come down to selflessness and how much you’re willing to sacrifice.

I decided not to enter because:

1. It was an impulse decision and impulse should not be the deciding factor for these kind of experiences.
2. The help requires 10 weeks of your time.  I wouldn’t be able to fully commit myself as I am wanting to do the top-up degree and my summer holiday isn’t that long.
3. I need to use that time to work and earn money to pay for the tuition fees and materials…etc…etc.

So, yes, it’s a little bit selfish but at a different time I will heavily consider.

My question is would you consider taking part is something like Platform2, or have participated in something similar?  If so, please share your experience.

Huh?  This is the first time I’ve heard of this day.
