I am curious (yellow (stain))
Some of the new mee.nuvians have been messing with their blarg's
HTML; fewer have been venturing from the default color scheme. For those who are thinking about changing colors, you're probably finding that a good scheme is harder to create than it should be. Well, there are tools that can help you find one.
Yeah. That's why my designs end up mostly white. It's just easier.

By the way, the comment.iphash tag has changed to comment.ip.hash as of today's release.

K, did you specifically change the IP hash algorithm so that it outputs your handle, or did you just cheat?

Snap previews and other stuff
Quick note: Among some of the stuff I'm adding to the blarg
are Snap previews for external links. If you don't like them, you can easily turn them off. Just check down near the bottom on the sidebar for the Snap Control.
Other stuff I've added includes a Technorati search control on the sidebar. What's Technorati? Well... its a live blarg
search thingie. And kind of an aggregator. And it helps push... traffic... or something. I'm not sure if I'll keep it. But for now it sits to the right and you can use it to search this blarg
. If you want to do the same, just click the link above and "claim your blarg
."
Damn <center> tag
The [ magic.pager ] page control contains a <center> tag that fucks with floating DIV's; For now, I'm gonna leave mine at the bottom and remove the one at the top.
Added to the bug list.

You're doing some nice work here, but the way.
2 Posted by Pixy Misa on April 13, 2007 05:53 PM (PiXy!)
How about if I add a position= option to the magic.pager tag, so you can say [magic.pager position=none] and it does no positioning of its own?
3 Posted by Pixy Misa on April 13, 2007 05:55 PM (PiXy!)
Hey, thanks for the complement, and thanks for the free blarg
. I like it here.
That's definitely an option. Or you can just center it using CSS. Whatever you think is better....

On second thought, yeah, CSS is the right way to do it.
There's only a couple of those "magic" tags so far - tags that insert preformatted HTML - but there will be more, so I need to have a consistent way for users to control the style and positioning of that HTML. And that means CSS.

Exploding CSS
I'll be moving most, if not all, inline CSS to my new stylesheet (thanks, Pixie), which may cause some formatting wierdness.
If the blarg
all of a sudden looks like shit, just hold down the shift and click the refresh button. It should go back to normal immediately or after a couple minutes.
Blog advisory: You're an asshole!
So, you wanna add a Blog Advisory to your blarg
? Read on...
Be neighborly
K, so we're a small community right now, mostly inhabited by empty blargs
. But some of us are actually taking advantage of the beta test. Here's a suggestion how we can help ourselves by helping our neighbors.
Don't forget to mention that you can use the TITLE attribute to include clever remarks about the owner of the link!

Done, oh sage of Dos 5.0. All praises unto Foxpro, verily.

YDIW is now duly linked, right below the boss.
OT- did you intend to lose the previous-page/next-page links at the bottom of the post column?
3 Posted by Old Grouch on April 14, 2007 01:56 AM (l8Tq5)
No; I want it at the top and at the bottom. But where I want to put it at the top requires that I float its containing DIV. Unfortunately, the HTML that makes up the page control is contained within a <center> tag. That completely fucks up positioning. So until Pixie changes the code behind it, I'll have it at the bottom.
Of course, it might just be easier to have a page=next and page=previous URL variables and a [ page.number ] thingie (what are those [ ] constructs called anyhow? Substitutions?). Maybe a [ page.IsLast ] too... That way we can use the [if.lte] and [if] conditionals to build our own.

Lost in Transupload
Had a minor personal outage last night. No, nothing to do with this post. I was messing with my template for posts last night and the website crapped out on me after I hit "save". The result is that I had half a template and nothing would render correctly anymore.
Favicons
Its pretty easy to create a favicon. IE7, however, doesn't seem to like .png favicons; an .ico file is a better choice. If you've drunk the MS koolaid, here's how to do it:
Incest is best!
I can see this beta thing is going to get very incestuous very fast. Other beta testers are starting to post here, and I'm starting to post on
their blargs
too.
Beta Blogger posting right here!

Right... but your link doesn't appear to be a mee.nu site. Got one?
