Category: This Blog

Welcome to anyone who came here from the Official CoH Fansite Portal. Look around, pull up a chair, and set a spell (or toggle a power, whichever you want).

Got my first comment spam here. Joy.

Mercifully, this problem hasn’t afflicted this blog yet. Though I’m sure it will.

Played around with the design a bit to get the sidebar a consistent width — and ended up shifting it to the left.
Had a deuce of a time doing it, too, mostly because of CSS rendering differences between Firefox and IE (and praise be for the Firefox IEView extension). Finally ended up swiping div styles from the 20×20 Room, which worked.
(Amazing how many sites use the dual-fixed-width-floating-columns code, by the by.)
I want to do some tweaking of colors here, too, eventually. The powder-blue/powder-grey bit is putting me to sleep.

Made the main section 80% wide and the sidebar 20% wide, since working at 1024×768 I was getting kinda nasty scroll off the right side (even in the individual archive pages). Holler if something looks broken.

Increased the text sizes in the main part of the blog upward a tick from the MT defaults. I need to do more CSS tweaking on the site (the colors, etc.) — but that will require cutting into my home CoH time, which, of course, I will never do until my playing slacks off, at which point the blog will be less important, at which point, who cares about the CSS?

Okay, I know I’m probably boring to tears non-CoH players out there with all the CoH nattering I’m doing in my main blog. So I’m going to try to create a separate blog for that stuff.
Let’s see how it works.
Things to do here still:

1. Recent comments.
2. Edit link in post footer.
3. “But wait there’s more” auto-expansion. {skipping this)
4. MT-Notify.
5. Formatting buttons for comments.
6. Link list (my blog, list of links).
7. Include recent links on main blog
8. Proper copyright/CC notice.
9. Proper typeface for page logo.
10. Smarty reformatting stuff.
11. Acronym stuff

… when he creates a blog category for a topic. To wit, City of Heroes (technically set up as a subcategory of Gaming, where those posts were previously living).
UPDATE: Well, this entry got obsoleted when I actually moved all this stuff into its own blog. Yow! I guess that’s a real sign …
