Pardon My Screwed-Up Site

I'm going to try -- try -- to fix my individual archive template so that the ads run side-by-side with the article. And so that that template looks more like my main page.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, so this could get kinda ugly today.

I'll be posting here and there, but readers might want to click on the main page rather than going to the individual entry post through Bloglines or the like.

I've been saying I'm going to try to fix this mess of a site of mine for a while. I'm going to try it, but I think I might just end up nuking my site entirely.

Here's hoping.

Any Ideas on How to Fix...?

1) The comment glitch-- it doesn't ask for your name, nor does it print it, calling everyone "No Author."

2) The Individual and Date based Archives have that error where the sidebar follows the page, rather than being side-by-side with it. How do I fix that? Which archive does that get fixed in?

If anyone knows, put me some f---in' information, if you wouldn't mind.

hey, remember me!

Whoa, what's goin on with the comments - how does this already know me?

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 04:29 PM

Ace,
Is this the new MT3 Pixy set up? Let me know if it's worth the headache to move.

I'm scared!

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 05:23 PM

I don't know what's going on with the comments.

Right now it "remembers" you, but it doesn't record your screen-name nor print it with you comments.

Rusty,

This isn't anything new. These are the old defaults.

I just wanna tell you good luck. We're all counting on you.

I see the set up looks like the old default, but somehow it looks like you have Typekey working. Very cool. I'll check back in the next few days to see how this works out for you.

The issue with the columns is annoying, but your content is what keeps me coming back for more.

In taking a look at your coding, it looks like you need to define the width of your main content column similar to coding you used for the right div. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Thanks, Isabelle. It turned out I just needed one line of code in the other archives, something about id="center."

Okay. Now I just have to get the comments fixed, and this site might actually be working.

The fonts and colors and stuff I can fix through the week. I've done enough damage for one day.

And of course I'll put all my links back in! I'm just waiting on that.

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 08:59 PM

Test, test, is this thing on.

Hey Ace, I like the overall changes though.

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 09:04 PM

I'm "The Old Coot" But there's no place to type in my name. Help!

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 09:06 PM

Yeah, I know. It's annoying, because this is the default template, and therefore should work as well as a brand-new car. And yet it's got glitches.

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 09:08 PM

By the way, before everyone compliments me on my changes, the only changes I want to make are putting the sidebar in with the archive material and some invisible changes needed to make the thing work properly.

So, actually, little by little I'll be putting in the same fonts and colors and stuff that were part of the old design. It should wind up looking 80% like the old design.

Have you tried re-inserting and shortening the stroke?

Posted by: on November 20, 2004 10:19 PM

You are missing part of the code for the comment username and e-mail....

DON'T NUKE IT, I LOVE THIS DAMNED THING!

My caps added for emphasis.

There wasn't a place for me to put my screen name? The thing I love about this is...I thought I was the only one who was lost!!! I thought your site was fine before, too, by the way! Good luck. I am sure it will come out fine. But just in case, as Reagan said, "Trust, but verify" ..or "preview, then save!" Oh, this is Zoomlens signing out!

Posted by: on November 21, 2004 03:49 AM

OK, just tried to sign out and it told me that there was an "action error" and then it flipped me back here. I really am leavig now, if it will let me!!! zoomlens

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him

Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.

In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."

He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.
