Musings of a guy in the choir
Starting to get a handle on formatting · 31 March 2008
Ok, I’m beginning to get a handle on formatting. Because I’m old-school, I want my page to look balanced in all monitor resolutions. So I struggled for quite some time to re-implement my nifty resolution resizer thingie. It was easy enough once I figured out how to link to style sheets and javaScript files on the server to the TxP template. So now I have that part ok (it was trivial, I was just ignorant and the TxP documentation is pretty awful). Now, just to redesign the headers, and learn enough of the TxP forms to make things work properly.
As an aside, I also figured out how to intsall the Monpage tracker on my site. Pretty nifty. I have no idea why my site response is so crappy. My server is lightning fast at serving up static pages. I’m surprised these DB-driven pages are so much slower. Oh well, live and learn.

So, it seems that I’m doing it by brute force now. Eventually, I’ll figure out how to make things into forms. I’m not sure it really matters, does it?

You’ve really gotta do something about the stupid colors in the header bars. Dark blue or purple on sepia just doesn’t work. Looks cheesy.
I wonder if there’s a way to override the extremely narrow text box in this comments section? I find it annoying in the extreme.
While I’m at it, fix the damn non-buttons for the links in the right-nav.

I got a couple more things fixed last night. Need to go back to IE to see if we’re still borked in that atrocity of a browser.

Crap, the site looks like crap on the pages with no content. You need to pull your container div down below the floated sidebars. WTF?
