March is half over already, and Europe draws near. Spring is making <BR>me hyperactive as usual and it is hard to sit still at my desk...
but I <BR>still have a lot of website updates to do.<BR>I've been working on plans for Europe, proposals, content, wardrobe,<BR>flights, advertising, luggage, passport, etc..<BR><BR>Despite feeling overwhelmed, I am really happy at the turn my work is<BR>taking. Excited about Europe but scared too. Lori getting back to me with a<BR>schedule was comforting, I am getting more confident that I will at least<BR>break even on the trip.<BR><BR>The FST update is hard because I tend to read from memory and not <BR>actually see the content. I finally hauled out my old double-spaced <BR>hardcopy of the course, (a 5" thick binder!) and put it on a giant book <BR>holder on my desk, so I make notes there (sometimes in the jacuzzi!) and <BR>then paste the content into Word for editing, Canadian spellcheck and <BR>grammar... but then I end up adding more after I paste it into the web <BR>page, and then it becomes an issue of version control. I lose track of <BR>whether the word version or the web
version is most up to date.<BR>The lesson I accidentally posted to this list was a draft version that was <BR>later updated.<BR><BR><BR>It is very slow going, every time I decide an essay is "done" I later<BR>get new inspiration, and with some of the essays I get a feeling that what<BR>I am adding actually belongs in a different lesson. My new "introduction to<BR>Kundalini" has a lot of stuff that might be better in the Serpents lesson.<BR>Sigh.<BR><BR>I'm thinking it is better for me to just focus on the content, so I am <BR>saving the word docs and when there are many I'll upload them to the fscnew <BR>site, and hopefully someone else can add paragraph breaks and paste them <BR>into the lesson.<BR><BR>Some of the new essays are so much better than the old, I am wondering <BR>if the new ones should be pasted into the live site as they are completed. <BR>b0b's post made me think perhaps the live site should be updated <BR>concurrently with the new design. I'm impatient to have the
new site up, <BR>but there is still so much to do!<BR><BR>Dreamweaver is a learning curve I just don't have time for, right now. <BR>I tried to update a lesson, (tantra/01cintro) and when I uploaded it, it <BR>was messed up. Sachiko, can you fix it? That lesson is meant to be called <BR>01stdyguid.html and you will find a file by that name that has the correct <BR>content, but I messed it up too!<BR><BR>How do I tell Dreamweaver the local directory is a mirror of the web, so <BR>it doesn't download all the images each time I want to look at a file? <BR>Something to do with projects?<BR><BR>The good thing is that some essays look fine to me and don't need <BR>editing... but I still have to add homework and experiences, and <BR>experiences links to them! Ack. So much to do!<BR><BR>Sandra C: Adding experiences means searching the tea room archives for <BR>keywords of each topic, and deciding what posts have information that <BR>enhances understanding. If you will select posts, then I
will go through <BR>them and choose one to edit and add to the lesson... I'm open to <BR>suggestions for that... keeping in mind that the finished update will <BR>become a book, I really need to be emailing the members whose posts I use <BR>in the lesson and asking permission. Not for the links to the tea room, <BR>just for the experiences area.<BR><BR>I'm also thinking of eliminating the "Experiences links" box from each<BR>lesson and just adding the links to the bottom of the main experiences<BR>section. Changing the form at this point feels like going backwards... but <BR>I feel it would be smoother.<BR><BR>Getting experiences from the K-list archives is a whole other deal and I<BR>have no idea when or how that will happen.<BR><BR>Question: does it make more sense to have the homework box at the <BR>bottom, or below the experiences section instead of below the essay?<BR><BR>With regards to the new right corner image... I sometimes get emails <BR>like this:<BR><BR>>country =
indonesia<BR>>body = Good Morning / afternoon / evening. Iam from Indonesia.<BR>>I followed rei ki tummo trainning. I don't feel kundalini energy as<BR>>perfectly yet. I want to my kundalini is growth without prolem. Someone<BR>>told me, your picture could help to kundalini growth. If this is right and<BR>>if you don't mind,please send me your picture.<BR>>Thank you very much to your attention.I am sorry, if my english rather bad.<BR><BR>Been getting them for a few years now. It kind of blows my mind to know<BR>people all over the world meditate on my photo to get Kundalini... just<BR>weird, but I cannot think of a reason to discourage it. People all over the<BR>world masturbate to my fetish pix, and I got used to that .. but it is<BR>still odd to think of people looking at me to raise K. like they do with<BR>Sai Baba or Grandma Devi.<BR><BR>Anyway, in light of this phenomena, I think I'll use a different pic of <BR>myself for the new right corner image for the
lessons. The videos have some <BR>lovely images with mudras I use spontaneously.<BR><BR>Gustaf please select a few stills from the vids, when you edit them, and <BR>then I can mess with one in photoshop to add a fun aura or something that <BR>will fit the site design.<BR><BR>I am also concerned that your editing the vids will interfere with your <BR>progress of the course. The vids were not recorded in the lesson order, and <BR>are not even labeled as which vids go with which lessons! I'm trying to <BR>take notes as I go, but I am getting hyper and spaced out from my own <BR>Shakti coming back at me! Whoa! I hope it doesn't overwhelm you, too.<BR><BR>I'm not sure whether the magnetic tape is degraded or whether the video <BR>quality was not good to begin with, but I am seeing colour bleed on the <BR>videos. The worst is when my teeth flash bright yellow, picking up the <BR>background colour of the gold cloth on the chair. Really bad! Distracting <BR>and unattractive. Can this be
fixed?<BR><BR>There are a few people who are on this list who are not actually doing <BR>anything, and have not done anything. I appreciate the good intentions that <BR>moved you to join, but this is not a list for lurkers or voyeurs so please <BR>either volunteer to do something or unsub yourself.

I was kinda waiting because I wasn't<BR>sure if you wanted to deal with the text editing yet for the lessons<BR>themselves. With all the other rearranging that you are doing (which I<BR>barely understand at all), I
thought maybe it would be too much to throw<BR>that into the mix as well right now. :-)<BR><BR>But, I'm here and would be more than happy to help with any text editing<BR>needs that you have for the lessons, or help organizing things into book<BR>form or both. whatever!

:)<BR><BR>And I will definitely need some notes to help me discern which videos<BR>that goes with each class, and any notes about any versions you prefer<BR>would be very helpful, too.

Vegas has a bunch of filters that can be applied before rendering,<BR>a lot like in Photoshop. I will keep an eye out for your
teeth :D<BR><BR>Namaste<BR>Gustaf<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Helpers mailing list<BR>Helpers@fire-serpent.org<BR>http://fire-serpent.org/mailman/listinfo/helpers_fire-serpent.org<BR><BR><BR>End of Helpers Digest, Vol 10, Issue 3<BR>**************************************<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
