Blogbatland Update

The Outside World As you have no doubt noticed, the sidebars are up now in all of their semi-immaculate glory. I’m working on several enhancements in the coming days that will improve their usefulness.

 

Bugs Funny You might have already spotted one or two bugs as you float about looking at this and that. Just think of this blog as one still in beta. You might notice for example while using IE that the sidebars like to disappear if you follow a link elsewhere on the site or hit refresh - it stays that way until you clear your cache. Also the sidebars are constantly getting called by the ref for encroachment. On the middle, that is. When your browser isn’t maximized with a screen resolution of at least 1280x1024 using either Firefox or IE browsers- and probably any other as well - you probably are one of the lucky ones. But the good news is that it's a fairly straight-forward tweak of the style sheet (something I would have done last night had it not been so late). So more tweaking is on its way. A simple workaround, by the way, for those overbearing sidebars - at least for the time being is simply to click on the comments link which will take you to a screen where there are as yet no sidebars. Or in IE as I pointed out above – simply hit refresh. In other words just like Bill Clinton, that page can easily be disbarred.

Looks good on a widescreen monitor, but does that mean it's one of those narrow-column things on a regular monitor? I don't approve of those ;(

Na, hopefully not. Since tomorrow's a holidy I'm going to work on making those sidebars either more flexible or allow for at the very least a horizontal scroll bar for those viewing a smaller window. In the worst-case scenario the two sidebars get combined to be a single mamasito sidebar on the left. I'm also going to move that pasky blogroll to the left sidebar (and hopefully find a way for it to accept my font formatting since it so far has thumbed its nose at my sylesheets). Ita est: labor omnia vincit.
