    All of that effort for a stupid icon

    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…”

    Codemonkeys A Go Go

    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…

    Crazy Like A…

    …fox, or crazy like a bedbug? NEW YORK – Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling was taken to a Manhattan hospital early Friday after several people called police saying he was pulling on their clothes and accusing them of being FBI (news – web sites) agents, a police source told The Associated Press. Maybe the FBI is following him everywhere, and deploying agents with wires and concealed weapons. Or maybe they’re not, and he’s nuts.

    Stylesheet info

    blockquote { font-family: verdana, georgia, arial, serif; color: #2F4F4F; font-size:small; font-style:italic; background: #F5F5F5; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid; } This is the CSS for it – note, it’s not .blockquote but just “blockquote” in the style sheet, because I’m using an HTML tag as the name of the style element.

    Blockquote Ta Da

    Okay, so I figure out how to get blockquotes styled with David’s help. Now I need to figure out how to get a favicon working. But that’s for tomorrow. This is a test post, because something else isn’t working (what now?)

    Onion: An Oldie but Goodie

    Had to go looking to find this: MINNEAPOLIS, MN: In a turn of events the 30-year-old characterized as “horrifying,” Kevin Widmar announced Tuesday that his mother Lillian has discovered his weblog. “Apparently, Mom typed [Widmar’s employer] Dean Healthcare into Google along with my name and, lo and behold, PlanetKevin popped up,” Widmar said. “I’m so fucked.” In an e-mail sent to Widmar Monday, Lillian reported in large purple letters that she was “VERY EXCITED :)!!!” to find his “computer diary,” but was perplexed that he hadn’t mentioned it to her. Upon receipt of the e-mail, Widmar mentally raced through the…

    CSS and Quotes

    I’m home sick today – Chicago’s spring allergy season is in full swing, and the coughing fits (asthma, yadda yadda) had me up all night. I felt like I couldn’t take a deep breath at work without coughing yesterday. Bleh. Lousy air quality in that building, always has been. So I’m fooling around with blockquotes today. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean sodales, est a dictum ultrices, tellus metus venenatis ipsum, eu tristique risus urna id elit. Pellentesque lacus est, congue non, consequat a, viverra in, nunc. Curabitur libero erat, ornare eu, congue quis, cursus quis, lorem.…

    Homing Hippogriffs Air Traffic Control

    Okay, The Official Harry Potter Website is seriously addictive. Not only is there a new trailer, there are games all over the Marauder’s Map. I think I’m going to be dreaming hippogriffs tonight. And that’s just one of a number of stupid, addictive little games there. I’m going to bed… (yawn)
