Blog Design
General Notes:
Posted here are general notes on the development of this blog's interface. Expect not a complete reference on blog design, of which there are plenty, here's one:
A nifty blog design resource...
Most bloggers use a two column format, probably because our gracious host provides at most two column templates as "standard" elections. Three-column formats, while supported, require bloggers to "roll their own" templates...
Tutorial on 3-column design...
3-column templates complementing preceding tutorial...
Be sure to keep a backup of your template in a text file off-line. Update periodically, particularly after major changes.
Blog Outline:
The apparent temporal sequence of these blog posts is an artifact of the medium. My goal is to build on a traditional outline framework that will be arguably coherent if not comprehensively complete in the accomplishment of stated objectives:
OBJECTIVES
Disclaimer: The content developed herein to fulfill the stated objectives is specific to the author's application of ABS to meet the challenges of a specific business environment. This content shall under no circumstance be interpreted by anyone as either a recommendation for action or guarantee of results.
OUTLINE
ABS Production Topics
ABS Support Applications

OBJECTIVES
- Produce an online reference document useful to working colleagues in the effective application of Autodesk Building Systems to produce quality deliverables for our clients.
- Capture arcane "wheels" invented specifically for ABS implementation to inform current and future CAD managers in the deployment and maintenance of the software.
