2010 World Cup

Category: Sports / Tags: no tag / Add Comment

I didn’t watch all of the games in the last World Cup but I watched as many as I could.

2010 World Cup (In South Africa) - GROUP C: England, United States, Algeria, Slovenia

Hopefully, none of them will be on one of those PPV or speciality sports channels on cable that I don’t have (There might actually be a soccer channel.)

Note: The next Women’s World Cup is in 2011 in Germany.

    Okay I was going to post a short comment on the fact the the link to “world cup” above was very similar in color (dark orange) to the, very red “United States” which is not a link, and suggest that you change the color on one or the other. But that was before I looked at the source. Okay I retired from civil service where I was relatively involved in COMPUSEC and other computer absudities back in 2003 and have not kept up on the latest in HTML since then but the source you are using (Word Press?) seems to be at least as bloated as the old Word 97 bs. I didn’t see a color assigned to the link but could determine the color assigned to “United States” (#ff0000). Actually, I’m so gobsmacked by the source that I’m looking at I’m no longer sure what my point was to be.

    As far as World Cup history goes, I highly recommend that you be sitting in a driveway watching the game on TV in the country that wins as I was fortunate to do in 1990. I was pretty lucky that my BMW 728i was not hit by any of the fireworks that lit the sky that night after Germany beat Argentina in the finals.

    I’ve changed the color for the one.

    Unfortunately, link color is controlled in some style sheet somewhere for the template I’m using (At this point I’m using someone else’s simple template. Eventually I’ll create my own — thought mainly so I can have some control over how my stories are integrated into the whole thing.)

    I learned html back in the old days myself. I still tweak it mostly by hand though I’m slowly getting into using CSS so I can make global changes to a bunch of pages all at once.
