Frustration

I went from calm to frustrated in about 2 seconds a few hours ago. As evidenced by the comments from the previous post, my curiosity about things abounds. As we all know, se7en always has new crap. (Sorry, not really crap per se, just how I refer to things when frustrated.) Stuff, graphics, whatever. So when biohazard bullets show up on his site instead of normal ones, I want to KNOW how to do it. I read the tutorial crap. I tried for different bullet images before. NEVER got it to work. Aha! Lightbulb! View page source is AWESOME! Well, for the most part. Blogger adds crap to your page that you don't realize they add. It throws off the code. I mean REALLY throws it off. There is absolutely no way in hell a blogger blog will validate in HTML let alone in xhtml, xml or css. Yes, that's what I said. I can't validate my damn CSS because the damn page won't validate in HTML. I guess it's a rule or something. Sorry, can't validate your css, you must validate your html first. Well FUCK! Not only does blogger add shit that will never validate, but when you get codes for counters and add-ons, they DO NOT validate either! I could take all that stuff off, but I like it dammit! Wouldn't matter anyway. That stupid little searchbar that shows on some and not on others isn't valid either. The code to have it not show is <noembed><body></noembed> That really screws up the page code. 50 errors from that thing. Not only is that stupid search code in there anyway, so you get the errors for that, the noembed apparently isn't even a valid tag. I know my page shows fine in IE and Firefox, so it doesn't matter that much, really. I'll talk myself into that one day, I swear! I really want to validate my CSS to check for errors in the coding and be able to see what I can do with it. I don't understand the tutorials and references that define all the elements.
Let me tell ya how frustrating that is. All my life, I have NEVER had any problems whatsoever learning from a book/tutorial and being able to apply the information from that. I won't be taking classes on it either. I learned early on that I get easily bored in a class environment. I don't act out, I just fall asleep. That would definitely be a waste of my money. All I really need is a book and someone to explain something to me every once in a while. I learn faster than normal people. Certain things I will never learn. I have my own logic. I still can't understand how an engine works. It makes NO sense to me. It's not logical. The firing order throws me off, pisses me off, I don't understand it. We won't get into logic here. Most things I learn by a book with the basics, apply it, expiriment with it. Trial and error. There is no other way for me. I do not/have not/will not ever learn by someone just telling me how to do it, it's this way, no other way. I don't comprehend like that. Telling me how you do it is one thing, but I have to then learn how it works. Why it works. And then, does it work in any other way. How many possibilities are there. For some reason simple explanations don't work for me, I don't understand them. Let me tell you CSS is the first thing I've ever come across that I absolutely do not understand. At all. Oh, I know some coding, but I don't understand how it works. I need to know how it works. Why it works. Until I get that, I will not be able to learn it. I have to constantly refer to the tutorials and other's view page sources. It pisses me off I have to do that. It's cheating. I know it's not really cheating, but to me, it is. Html itself is no problem, nor xhtml. I have my little cheat sheet, but I know it. I know what works, how it works, why it works and where it doesn't work.
I have the right coding now to do a bullet thing for my <ul>. I'll probably make little ying-yangs. I like them! It just pisses me off that I can't understand why the coding has to be that way and I couldn't do it the way I tried it from what I gleaned from the tutorial and reference pages. I still can't figure out how to put a song (mp3 or whatever) into a post. I do, but I don't. I copied the code from someone else's post and couldn't get it to work here. Copied it! Some of the problem is where I uploaded a few files to. Yahoo sucks! Ever since I uploaded 3 files to it, I couldn't even access the files, even logged in! AND I made them public access anyway! FUCKERS! I did learn what the z-whatever element was. I think it's newish, I didn't see it last time I messed around with the CSS tutorial. I found it today. Don't understand much about it still. In their example, 1 was the highest object and -1 was the lowest. Well is 3 higher than 1? Or, do you start with 1 as the highest and go -#'s whenever you want some lower. Freaking ordering shit. I barely grasped the concept in CorelDraw. I hate not understanding things.
