New Addition: My Notebook

To the right, you can see the new addition - my notebook, which I wrote the code for a while ago, but have not posted until now. It's a fairly simply combination of JavaScript and CSS. All of the displayed elements are governed by CSS classes and IDs, and the JavaScript is simply there as a kind of moderator, called on when the links are clicked.

The usage is fairly self-explanatory, I think. Just click on the 'Add Note" menu button to display a text box for noting anything you want to post, and then click 'Post' underneath the text box in order to post it. Your note will appear on the note board in a yellow box that looks like a PostIt note. After it is posted, click 'Delete this note' within the yellow box to delete your note. You can post as many notes as you want, and delete any notes that you want.

At this time, there is no mechanism for saving notes, so when you click away from this blog, or even to a different page within this blog, the notes are lost. As soon as I get the time to write the code, I intend to install a simple mechanism for writing the text of the notes to a session cookie that will allow the notes to be kept at least as long as the user is viewing this blog.
