Autumn Theme Cleaning

Just keeping things fresh.

Anyway, I’ve tested this stylesheet on Firefox, IE 7 and Safari (Windows). Seemed OK on all three, but if something doesn’t look right on your system, please let me know.

I’ve disabled separate styling for “Asides,” but I’ve added a nifty little feature that searches out related blog and news content from throughout the blogosphere. The plugin for that can be found here.

The banner image, BTW, is Yeongsan-am Hermitage at Bongjeong-sa Temple in Andong.

    I’ve got IE6 and your main content area is sitting hard against your left sidebar. Also, your comment box is spilling into your right sidebar. (I’m currently writing over GI Korea’s helmet. Not good. Then again, I don’t know why I still have IE6, so ignore me if you want.

    On the plus side, I like the new theme - the idea, anyway. I bit more color, a larger banner, not so piss-ant. I mean, I dug the whole minimalist thing for a while, but it did get a little boring.

    A few questions:

    1. It’s 4am, what the frick are you doing up? (no excuse at this end, other than a hatful of beers)

    2. What’s the theme?

    3. Why no rotating banner? You know you secretly dig lost nomad.

    Somewhere, there’s an IE6 CSS hack that can correct the problem, but I’m too sleepy to find it now.

    Same question: What are you doing up, blogging, at 3:30 am? I could understand being up at that time if you were getting up early to go fishing :)

    As for the new look, I like - but then I’ve always been partial to the wider/fluid width themes.

    Robert,

    The formatting looks great, but there’s no visible-to-me banner at the top. Everything else appears to be there.

    Robert, I just looked at the blog in IE7, Firefox, and Opera, and it looks fine in all three. (I dumped IE6 after an experimental blog I put up looked awful in it but not in other browsers, and I’ll never go back to IE6 again.)

    New layout looks nice.

    I was just wondering if that’s Mrs. Marmot taking a rest at Bongjeong-sa Temple?

    Looks great to me in IE7…

    Funny how people now dismiss IE6 as a piece of shit, which many people have been saying for years while coding web sites for ‘real’ browsers — but back then the answer to such a statement was IE6 is the most used browser on Earth!™

    Duuuuh

    Fixed the IE6 left sidebar issue. God knows what I broke doing it, though.

    Oh, and just for fun, I looked at it on IE for Mac, and it was all fucked up. Why anyone would be using IE on a Mac, however, is beyond me… other than to visit Korean websites that don’t play with other browsers.

    I’ll fix the comment window thing later.

    ElCanguro — Yes, that’s Mrs. Marmot.

    Not even that, m’dear, as many sites that dinna work on Mac dinna work AT ALL [on Macs] — these usually needed ActiveX and other crap that is not available [thankfully] on Mac OS X. Besides, IE/Mac is not supported/developed any more, AND the rendering was different than its PeeCee counterpart — at least it produced oftentimes differing results. It was a browser on its own, and a bad one.

    Site works nicely on Safari/Mac too.

    actually . . .
    technically . . .
    isn’t Bognjongsa in Euiseong, not Andong? It’s easier to reach from Andong, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually in Euisong-geun. . .

    Nope… technically, Bongjeong-sa is in Seohu-myeon, Andong-si. It’s actually easier to reach from Yecheon.

    You may be confusing it with Goun-sa Temple, which is in Uiseong, on the road to Andong (or at least so I recall). Goun-sa is also very beautiful and quite remote:

    Whoops! You’re absolutely right! A mighty mea culpa ~ don’t know how I got them confused (really, I don’t! I’ve been to both of them many times!) except that the last time I visited them was during one of those temple visiting orgies on Buddha’s Birthday.
    Oh, the shame! I’ll never post again!
