blockquote { font-family: verdana, georgia, arial, color: #2F4F4F; font-size:small; font-style:italic; background: #F5F5F5; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #999; } code { font-size:14px; font-weight:normal; color:#000; background: #F5F5F5; text-align:left; } .floatimgleft { float:left; margin-top:10px; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px; padding:2px; border:3px #a9a9a9; } So… do I have the “code” macro working right now? And here is the stylesheet CSS if I do.

Since working with a cat image seems to be traditional, I thought I’d use one of Stuey for this next exercise in CSS madness. I was trying to get this to work the other night, adapting one of several methods for adding drop shadows in CSS, but doing it “the MT way.” I may have to concede that such things will have to be done “as is” and learn not to rely on the MT “show me the HTML feature.” Now I’m trying it “by the book” as described at Alistapart.rather than applying the CSS class with class="floatimgleft" as an…

Okay, let’s try this again:Air America Radio has the registration page up again, and it seems to be working now. Also, their Real Audio software seems to have been upgraded (yay!) and is more seamlessly integrated. In related news, the Majority Report website will soon be redesigned to add more features. But here again are the 6 Reasons You Should Register to be an AAR charter member: 1. John Ashcroft will know where to find you. 2. All our annoying pop-up ads are invisible. 3. Because they shut down the Dennis Kucinich dating chat room. 4. Our spam is vegetarian.…

Happy Easter, Hurray Spring, and so on. It’s been a interesting weekend for a holiday. Easter for me was last night, because Holy Moly chooses to do all the Easter celebrating on the Saturday night Vigil service, and skips a Sunday morning service entirely. Every parish does things “the way it’s always been done;” our way takes the view that nobody wants to go to church late one night and early the next morning if they’ve got little kids (theoretically, at least, on the “if they’ve got little kids” score). Here’s how it’s done, according to the powers that be.…

Hey, Kuri at Mediatinker.com is another member of the Redheaded Band. She had a makeover done at MAC in Japan. I wonder how their colors “suitable for redheads” stack up against the Just For Redheads ones? I had a makeover (or my colors analyzed) years ago (actually, two different times, in different towns) and the result was the same for both: I ended up with a very limited palette of colors to choose from, because my eye color and hair color are in different “seasons,” and was also told that I’d always have trouble finding foundation light enough for my…

Consider: In Berkeley, an event featuring three authors whose bestselling books at least touch on the Bush presidency (generally critically) drew 3,600 people who paid $15 a ticket. The panel featured Al Franken, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman (“The Great Unraveling”) and former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips (“American Dynasty”). Proceeds went to KPFA-FM radio and Global Exchange, an international human-rights group. Tickets sold out immediately, said Bob Baldock, the station’s public-events producer and a former bookstore owner. “I think people are hungry for information,” he said. “They want the opinions, not just from hacks that go on television all…

Perhaps I should rename this category “Mindbendingly Boring Technical Details of a Blog/MT/HTML/CSS N00b.” Honest, I’ve been on the Internet since 1994. Granted, much of that time was on AOL. And I freely admit that my technical expertise consists of my husband and the phrase “Honey? How do I…”

tag || HTMLSource ]” href=”http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/advancedcss.html”>Advanced CSS | custom stylesheet classes, ids, conditional style, the @import method and the tag || HTMLSource ] Ah, hmm. This tells me I was doing something wrong with this next CSS for Dummies trick last night. code{ font-size:14px; font-weight:normal; color:#000; background: #FFF; text-align:center; } ETA: Bugger it, this still isn’t working right. However, it’s better. I removed the border style attribute, which was messed up by MT’s insistence on adding break tags. There may still be a simple solution to getting it to display in a box. This makes day 2 or 3 that I’ve…
