Six Apart Style Contest

April 17th, 2006

My wife who uses LJ a lot pointed it out to me. When reading over the contest information, the hook that got me was their desire to create The Blog Zen Garden.

I designed for The Style Contest

Skinning the Drupal

April 8th, 2006

This weekend I expanded my web design toolbox by learning to skin two Drupal sites.

The first of which was Witch Wars.
The second one was The Computer Witch.

In other news I have the Spring css Reboot design completed for my graphic art site (aka St.Parker’s Wyrd Art). So all I have to do is wait until May 1st to launch it.

One of the things I used on St.Parker’s Wyrd Art is the FrogLace css Lightbox effect. If you want to see how that works on a live site (as oppose to the demo page) check out the art galleries on Wolfrose.com.

Fox News covers the fight for Pentacles for Pagan Vets

April 7th, 2006

Forwarded from Circle Sanctuary.

In yesterday’s Circle Times, we reported on the Wiccan Warrior story
that ran on the Fox News Report last week and which was on the front
page of the Fox News website yesterday.

This news story has just been moved to the Fox Fan Opinion section,
known as Up or Down:

Honoring a Wiccan Warrior

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190322,00.html

The video is available for viewing.

VOTE!!!

By clicking on the UP OR DOWN link at the end of the descriptive
paragraph, you can express your support for the Pentacle being adopted
as an emblem of belief by the VA and your concerns about the VA’s delay
in approving the symbol.

Be sure to cast a “DOWN” vote for the Department of Veterans Affairs
not yet recognizing the Wiccan religion and not yet approving the
Pentacle for use on government issued headstones, markers, and plaques
for deceased veterans.

It is not necessary to identify yourself as a Wiccan or Pagan in
expressing dismay that the VA has not approved the Pentacle yet.

Please keep your comments to the point and respectful in tone. Do not
use profanity. Reference First Amendment issues of Freedom of Religion
in the US Constitution.

More information about the Pentacle for Veterans quest is on-line:

ACT NOW!!!

Please get as many people as you can to respond to this opinion section
of the FOX News website.

Forward this email to lists & those you know who might be willing to
write an email AGAINST discrimination and in support of Pentacle
approval by the VA.

Thanks!

In Liberty,
Lady Liberty League staff

Bunny Hunt?

Being as how “Bunny” has such a unique meaning in the Pagan community I thought I would share this link http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2006/04/03/
