Mad props to Kevin who worked code foo magic on my CSS file and fixed it so the sidebar displays correctly now on the new grey skin (and the alternate photo-free skin) for IE 6 users. I have to pick through the code still to see what he did to fix it, but for now I’m just thrilled that it’s working! If I broke it for IE5.x, Mozilla, Phoenix, or Safari, let me know, ok?
With all of these different skin choices now, which one are you using?
In case you were wondering, last night was exactly what I needed. No, my problems didn’t magically disappear – they were still there when I woke up this morning – but I felt a lot better about them, and I have ideas on how to deal with some of the issues now. In the end, that is what matters most.
I’m leaving the office and heading to the Cantina to meet up with Syd. Oh, I didn’t think it would ever be time. Don’t you hate that feeling? When you’re watching the clock so you can go do something you’re really looking forward to? I spent my whole day like that – and now it’s finally time. Yeah!
Maybe I should call the bartender and tell him to have my margarita ready. Frozen, with salt please. How do you like yours?
Headache. Sinus pain. Hormonal. Moody. Stressed. Tired. Quiet. Sore. Grinding my teeth. Sad. Worried. Busy.
Seriously looking forward to girl time with Sydney tonight over margaritas, chips and queso at the Cantina.
Blogdaddy has written a really interesting post about the ongoing debate over using RSS feeds to read personal blogs. (Not to be confused with the current programmer debates over RSS in general, but I won’t go there.) Is something lost in the translation when you use newsfeeds to read blogs? I don’t think so. Sorry, if I have seen your site 10 times or more, and I pop in to comment, then when I read your posts I can still visualize your site. RSS allows me to read blogs fast and to comment more often. Proven fact. (Well, proven by me. That’s scientific enough, right?)
I noticed a lot of people over there commenting that they didn’t get what RSS is, so I decided it was time for a summer rerun. So here it is – “What is XML? And What is RSS? Why Do I Want It Anyways?” There is more at Scripty if you are interested, including tips on how to set it up, how to set up feeds with comments, and more.
And for those of you thinking that you’re not important enough for anyone to download your RSS feed, you’re wrong. If I even find just one post interesting on a blog and they have RSS available, I will pull the feed in to Newzcrawler. It has truly helped to diversify my reads, which I find to be a really good thing.
