 Obsessive Tweaking

I’m stiiiil tweaking around with the design here. Thank jebus for the Internet, for how would I ever waste time without it???

This time I’ve found a new design that I like even more than the Coffee Cup one, with the added bonus that you can actually fit graphics and content on the page together at the same time simultaneously so that people like Carol who use medium resolution settings can actually read my witticisms without giving the scroll bar a workout. I think you’re really going to like it, it looks really, really great.

But, um, it’s not working right now. Here, at least. It’s working great on my test site, but not so much over here. Sigh.

I think I know what’s wrong with it but since I don’t know jack about javascript I can’t fix it. So I’ve sent an email to the person who ported this to WordPress and I’m hoping to hear back with an easy solution. Keep your fingers crossed.

In the meantime I’m going to leave this up even though the graphics aren’t loading right. I like the three column layout well enough to deal with the issues I’m having with the graphics and javascript not loading.

Once I get those ironed out, then I’ll start battling the other issues I’m having with it even on the test site where it’s running right. It looks great in Mozilla-based browsers (Firefox and Opera, at least), but IE chokes on the right sidebar and pushes it down to the bottom of the left column sometimes. But maybe I’ll leave that part broken as an example of why Firefox beats the pants off IE: view the site with both and pick the winner!

But for now… Well, for now it’s 3 a.m. and I ain’t gonna be fixin’ nothin’ more tonight. So goodnight, Irene.
