It is that time of year again, when the scientific research on Peeps is at it’s height. What are Peeps? You know, those little marshmallow chick things that appear on the store shelves at Easter. You either love them or you hate them, but either way – Peeps, Smoking & Alcohol do not mix. [via Boing Boing]
If you’re using anything other than skin 1 or skin 12, you’re probably seeing a mess right now. I’m still tweaking, meanwhile – pick a different skin.
By the way – if you start to see wonky things in the sidebars, I’m tweaking files here and there so I can use them as I get all the skins to a compliant point. Sorry about the mess, please ignore the dust. I should have it fixed soon enough. I feel so validated!
Updated: Well, I did feel validated. Now my CSS isn’t validating and I have NO clue what the error message means since I did nothing to my XML. *sigh* Anyone have any ideas?
I did it! I did it! The new and improved BPC Lite just received a “This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!” You can see for yourself – Validation Results for BPC Lite.
UPDATE: Validating my CSS was a lot easier – a quick phone call to Matt to get help figuring out the errors, stripping out the oh-so-cute but not valid scrollbars, and now I am pleased to announce that the CSS is valid too!
I would like to dedicate this moment to Tantek for not laughing at me too hard when I said CSS makes my eyes bleed and instead convincing me that I could do it. I also want to dedicate it to Matt for his helpful hand-holding and coding along the way, and Kristine for her CSS zen help.
Wow. Valid XHTML, Valid CSS, and Valid RSS. I think I’ve hit a new level of Geek Nirvana.
WOW. BPC Lite is actually starting to look a lot like the defualt skin for this site. And I am actually understanding this stuff. Wow. Still some things to figure out though:
– Matt put my “Take a Bite” list and others in to and unordered list. This is all great, but it leaves a huge gap between the title and the list itself. How can I get rid of that gap? Fixed thanks to Kristine.
– Also, when there isn’t a list, everything sits right on top of each other. I need a break in some places, and have no idea how to do it without faking it with p tags. Ideas?
– I added links to the validation pages, and my code is soooo far from valid. I think it’s the MT tags that it is choking on though, and I have no clue how to fix them. Getting closer, thanks to help from Kristine & Annessa.
– Kristine? Kristine? Help…….
