What’s New : 2004
26 September 2004
Additions to the collections of photographs: cinemas, police vehicles, trains, and self-portraits.
18 September 2004
The
index page
has been updated with some graphics of text, using an image replacement technique to shunt
<h3>
elements off to the left and display an image assigned as a background for the heading element instead. Yeah, the
subject headings are ClarendonPS, but the banner naming the subdomain is New Century Schoolbook italicized. Nothing is ever simple and I didn’t test my first attempt (in which I applied the background image to the succeeding paragraph) in Internet Explorer first and of course it doesn’t understand style rules of the form
p[id]
which I’d been using to target only succeeding paragraphs with text and avoid the paragraphs with banner advertisements. A review of the
image replacement options
at
Dave Shea’s site Mezzoblue
led me to choose the
Phark Revisted
technique
even though from the
comments at Mike Rundle’s weblog entry
it’s apparent that challenges remain with this technique in older versions of IE for Windows.
12 September 2004
I added an
id="c-hannaher-net"
attribute to the
<body>
element on every page to support site-specific user (visitor) stylesheets.
01 September 2004
The link target for the channaher WEB DESIGN badge has been updated in the style of the Photographs menu page to be more of a portfolio than a simple list of sites.
22 August 2004
As a followup to making the
<h2>
elements in the pages of dispatches and movie reviews permalinks and spurred by seeing the technique in use at
Eric Meyer’s personal site
I have added the style rule
div#content div.dispatch h2 a:hover::after, div#content div.longdesc h2 a:hover::after, div#content div.review h2 a:hover::after { content: " \00B6"; }
to add a subsequent pilcrow sign (U+00B6 ¶) in the
hover
state to those elements.

Last Saturday I re-styled the index page for the c.hannaher.net subdomain to resemble an installation of WordPress.
05 July 2004
A major push to scan negatives resulted in a new menu for photographs of trains and additions to the menus mentioned in the previous dispatch.
03 July 2004
More scanning of photographic negatives offers three new images in the menu of police vehicles, a new menu for photographs of movie theaters, and a new menu for self-portraits I have taken over the years. The uncropped source exposure for the image of a Chicago police car from the day of the hostage situation on August 17, 1978 is now available as well.
30 June 2004
Two more pages of police vehicles based on a belated realization that I already had the required sets of pictures for Prince George’s County and for Alexandria uploaded. The whole gallery (available as a menu) is now more useful as I have linked to the home page of each department from the individual pages. Also, a new page in the series of television reporters.
29 June 2004
With another roll finished in the Minolta Maxxum 700si, like the last time this happened, there is a new cover photo, new photos of police vehicles from the City of New York as found locally and from Montgomery County, Maryland, and a new dispatch with additional photographs.
22 June 2004
I made use of regular expressions to replace
<div id="(d\d{8})" class="dispatch">(\s+)<h2>(\s+)(.*?)(\s+)</h2>
with
<div id="\1" class="dispatch">\2<h2><a href="#\1">\4</a></h2>
to make the headings dating each dispatch a permalink. This follows several months of tweaking the stylesheets to address new image sizes, style
<blockquote>
elements, and the like.
05 January 2004
Previous iterations of this webspace (as found at the Erol’s/Starpower/RCN domains) have had their pages edited to link to the subdomain
c.hannaher.net
or individual pages thereat.
01 January 2004
I have transferred my updates to the
new subdomain
http://c.hannaher.net/.
