Too much time on my hands

Howdy -

The title of this blog is a complete bald-faced lie.
In the last few months, there has been multiple surgeries in the family, work trauma's, neighbor issues and I knocked down a power/utility pole.
Fun game.

So, I've decided to start a new venture and go into business on my own. I am making cribbage boards, starting a blues-band and...(dramatic pause)...teaching myself how to write a PhoneApp.

So, lets start with he PhoneApp (This will be a good exercise in documentation for me!)

I've begun by downloaded the utility from WEBAPP-NET.COM =
Based on the recommendation of someone else, I have now Downloaded and installed and am running the Chrome Browser (from Google) as well as HTML-Kit (free version).

The test flight is a success; the screens/menu's slide back and forth~! I looked at the code and I am seriously dumbfounded at how easy this is~!

I followed the directions and there is an error: a line of code showing the path to a css file is displaying on the top. (hopefully that will be fixed next blog)

And, as I realize that I can make these little screens and menu items, it occurs to me that I have no idea how the user would enter data. (At this point I am going to presume this is either buried deep inside or in a completely unrelated tutorial).
I also realize that I need to come up with a way in which the user can store/include more than one character (or charge $2.50 for the app and #0.10 cents per character)
My plan is to actually design how I want the app to look and hope I can stumble across the information needed. (Putting in graphics isn't hard, but I don't know if I'd be making a "text-box" etc... )

The mind races faster than I can type, so adieu for now...

...Here Endith The bog...
