In August of 1999
I decided to get serious about Web design and learning to code HTML
properly. I started taking night classes at my local community college
and for my first project, I starting developing Erin's Web - Ireland
(EWI). It started as raw HTML code using Windows Notepad as my text
editor and only a few practice pages. Thanks to Miss Olga, who advised
me to "keep practicing", EWI has evolved into "Erin's
Web" and now branches off in all sorts of directions.
Erin's
Web
...is a starting point for all the Webs I weave. It describes my Web
and where to go to find each intricate part of it. It also serves as
a creative outlet for me when I get the "gotta redesign a web page"
bug. :-)
Erin's
Web - Ireland
This site is the culmination of my meandering through the WWW in search
of my Holy Grail, Ireland. Many fellow Web-surfers generously steered
me in many directions -- each proving to be informative and entertaining
-- to learn about things Irish. I created Erin's Web so I could share
what I had learned.
Learn
Irish Gaelic at Erin's Web
Learn Irish Gaelic was my second HTML class project and it consisted
of a homepage and five lesson pages.
It now contains 128 lessons and lots of helpful and fun information
regarding the Irish Gaelic language. The lessons posted on "Learn
Irish Gaelic at Erin's Web" are the sole property of © The
Irish People, and are used with permission. Erin does not speak Gaelic
(sorry!).
Erin's
Web Weaves
A collection of stories, ideas, and experiences contributed by her friends,
family and visitors. It is not confined to the subject of Ireland.
If you have a topic you'd like to share, I encourage you to submit your
ideas to Webmiss. Check
out the surveys that can be found here
and tell us about your memories of Ireland. We'll publish them in Erin's
Web Weaves if you'd like - just say the word!
Note: Erin's
Web does not tolerate racism, pornography or anything it finds to be
in bad taste.
The
Little Shop of Erin - Handcrafted Soap Boutique
We closed the shop in 2005 when Erin became very ill and could no longer create soap and lotion. It may re-open in the distant future with other things, maybe even soap if she's up to it. Erin has been enjoying working and playing with beads of all kinds, her favorites being sterling silver components, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, seed and lampwork beads.
