Goodbye, cruel web host.
So, the company that used to run my personal website has refused to allow the use of a style sheet. He sited 'security concerns' and said that it can be used to run/install spyware on remote machines. While I admit I'm no expert yet, I find it at least as plausible to say that the same could be done with javascript, which was already in place on my old site. Plus, I could easily have built the CSS directives into the web pages themselves and circumvented his authority, but I've put a lot of time into the redesign, and frankly, doing so defeats the purpose of using CSS in the first place. So instead, I've ordered a cheap-o refurb PC that's going to get Ubuntu server and I'll host it myself. It will be good experience with a side of web design that I haven't been exposed to before, it will teach me another marketable skill, and then I can design to my little heart's content while singing the "screw you, gayhomes.net" tune I've just made up.
Bitter, party of one.
