I haven’t had much work lately so been working on my webpages. I wrote this before and the socializer plug in popped up and wanted me to do a bunch of stuff to post to Facebook and twitter so I did and it would not close and let me publish so I reloaded it lost everything I wrote. I removed the plugin..

I worked on the Gospel Principles files and fixed the video and talk links. 2026 went though the files again and Church IT has messed up all the links to videos and articles I had linked on the church website again… I removed all the gospel principles files and only kept the comment files because it was too much work to fix them all. Some if you don’t have ?lang=eng on the end of the link it doesn’t work.. they changed /study/ to /study/ensign/ or /study/conference /, /study/liahona/, /media-library/video/ besides changing lds.org to www.churchofjesuschrist.org when they did that in 2019. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures?lang=eng now used to be http://scriptures.churchofJesusChrist.org or lds.org for a while lds.classic.scriptures/ and can not link to a verse any more. Though if you have marked the scriptures in the Gospel library app and are logged in to the www.churchofjesuschrist.org site it will show your marks when you view the scriptures. I had to remove thousands of scripture links when they did that in 2019 across the salvation pages and gospel principles files. I added menus to the GPC Gospel Principles Commentary files, cleaned up some spacing problems and other stuff left over from removing the scripture links. Styled the Scriptures and mentions to God/Jesus to be different. Was a lot of work as there are 58 pages of them. I had to change every video link and test it see if it was working, some did but had changed slightly so I change the URL before it quit working. Some were giving page not found errors and I had to search for the video to fix the link. .

I added some content to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Millennium following page an linked the relevant GPC files to the section. I have one recent video of President Dallin H. Oaks speaking in Conference about preparing for the Second coming. I have been looking for more but have not found any. The world is a bit scary right now.
I have been doing a lot of CSS changes, nothing you will notice if you are not a mobile 📱 web browser. I learned how to set up light and dark modes in conjunction to the mobile code. I added flex block to the HTML help files and explained about it. https://scottsworld.info/html_help.htm
The flex columns is used in the Weather page.

The weather pages are mostly working, still some tag issues with Cumulus Tags and it doesn’t do as much as Weather Display did but it kept freezing up and the the author disappeared from the support pages so I switched to Cumulus MX . This is the third weather program I have used and each one is different though Cumulus MX works completely different. Ambient and Weather Display read the data from my Davis station, processed tags in the files and uploaded pages with the data in the files.
Took a while and they don’t really tell you, I assumed it worked like the other two. What Cumulus MX does the files themselves have tags and it uses a java script in the pages to read json data files which it uploads and fill the data displayed from that once it has been uploaded. You don’t have to upload the pages over and over, just the json files and the moon image, which shows phases. There is a java script for that too.
I need to move my website to another server. Ionos my host sucks badly. They screwed up my genealogy program TNG The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding, a dynamic database software. It was showing the code instead of processing the PHP. Support has no idea what they are doing, there solution was to fix it so it showed an error message instead of the code. They only support PHP for WordPress which is all they know, it doesn’t work right for any where else, including TNG, my sitemap Generator ran when I first got there but hasn’t since. I can do PHP images in my weather page but that that doesn’t work either. I had to yell at them because they did a redirect and it was only showing my blog instead of the whole html site. Their AI support chat knows more about it than the support people. But the AI can only chat.
Speaking of AI have used it to fix some things, though it is 50-50 they help or make it worse. Google Gemini was guessing at fixes. ChatGTP has been better. It wanted me to install CODEX but I have not been able to get it to run. Gemini Produced the logo image for my Sewing machine business. I tried ChatGPT but it said it was busy creating other images for people and would get to mine in a couple hours.. It never did. Gemini did it it reasonably fast with several versions which I had it change things until I was satisfied with it.

ChatGTP fixed my Color page I had tried in HTML but it was really huge and would not load. One afternoon I talked to ChatGTP and it wrote a page with a java script that after a few iterations and instructions from me became the 2048 Color picker, you can click on any color you want and it will give you the code in hex and RGB for your CSS. It also changes the background of the page to the color you select, it did that entirely on its own.

I got my Woodward page to work with a little help which put me on the right track, there was one too many 0 in the margins for the container so the browser ignored it. What drove me nuts for years, it only affected this one page, the others all worked. Everything was justified to the left edge of the page and would not move no mater what I tired. Stuff that was centered like the header, centered but stuff like the lists and everything else was stuck on the left side. Adding padding and left margins to the list and everything else I tried didn’t work.

ChatGPT helped me rewrite the Cumulus MX pages, they were ok but had some errors and would not size, they were fixed widths too wide for mobile. I was adding blank Table header lines over my TH to give a space and it told me that was old school HTML brute force… Ok, so I learned HTML in 4.1 and HTML5 is some what different.. Showed me how to add padding to the top of the CSS for the TH so it had space above it. It was pretty obvious once it told me but I had not thought of it.. I knew how to do it the harder way.

HMTL 4 did not have CSS so you had to use the HTML code to do everything. Now your HTML provides the structure for the page and the CSS does everything else. Think of it that HTML is the frame of your house and everything else you see from the walls to the paint color and the floor inside and outside of the house is CSS. From the look, to the positioning of elements, fonts, colors, spacing. For instance my menu on top of the HTML pages is CSS and java code. It does not work or display right with out the CSS and javascript. AI has helped me fix some things with the menu that, for instance, long menus would need to scroll and it would scroll the page behind the menu instead of the menu. It takes code for the menu to stay where it is and not scroll with the page.
I added a NOAA radio element to the Weather page and for some unknown reason it screwed up the whole page lay out. It should not have, but it wanted to be way too wide and I could not get it to shrink. ChatGPT helped me with that and set the page as flex box, it took a week or more to get that to work right. With out the flex box code the page is one long column. It drops to one column for mobile display. Actually I started with Gemini AI and it made matters worse because it was guessing at fixes, I wasted several evenings trying that.. I switched to ChatGPT and it helped me fix it. In 2026 AI is still pretty new and still in its childhood, it is not a mature product yet.
