Sorry no blogging yesterday… as you can (I hope) see, I spent yesterday working on getting “Alas” to look more like “Alas” should look. I’ve finally gotten the background colors right (which took forever – I kept on trying to fix it in the CSS, when actually there were background images I needed to change), and I’ve added in some graphic dividers between posts and comments. I’ve also fixed up some other things – the comments are numbered again, the archives provide full posts instead of just the first hundred words, the entire header (instead of just the words “alas, a blog”) is now a link back to the top page, that sort of thing.<\/p>\n
More to come – I’m looking forward to returning the bighead drawings to the blogroll (they’ve been absent for months now).<\/p>\n
The most intractable problem I’m having right now is that I can’t figure out how to modify the default WordPress 1.5 layout to allow a bigger footer image<\/a>. (UPDATE<\/strong>: This problem has now been solved, thanks to Jennhi <\/a>in the comments!) If any “Alas” readers are CSS or WordPress mavens, please feel free to look at the files and make suggestions – here are links to text files of the stylesheet<\/a>, the header php file<\/a>, and the footer php file<\/a>. (WordPress 1.5 has separate files for all the elements, rather than putting them all in a single file).<\/p>\n Anyway, feel free to use this thread to offer me advice, or to make suggestions about “Alas.” I’m here to serve – well, actually, I’m here to serve me. But I’m interested in what you have to say, too. :-P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sorry no blogging yesterday… as you can (I hope) see, I spent yesterday working on getting “Alas” to look more like “Alas” should look.
