New Style: Clean

3/5/2003 – 2:35 pm

Added a new style: Clean. All my other site styles had dark backgrounds. I thought that maybe some of you would appreciate a white background, instead. There’s some sort of issue in IE that causes the articles to overrun the right-hand border as you get towards the bottom of the page. [...]

I still hate Netscape 4

11/26/2002 – 10:05 am

So I spent a few minutes modifying my template to give my blog better semantics. I use header elements for blog entry titles, the date & author are in a <cite> element, the menu uses lists and header elements. I cleaned up the CSS to the point that there aren’t even any warnings any more.
