Blah Blah Blah -- Techie Details 

The formatting of my post last night looked quite good with FireFox from home last night, but when I check with Explorer at work this morning it looked terrible. I had known for some time that underlines were not always rendering correctly in Explorer, but I failed to explore this. Changing font size on the same line turned out to be a disaster.

I had grabbed a line-height:1.3 in my CSS from someone else’s template example. Which looked good with some special formatting of the Title at the top of the page, but now that I am using a .jpg I whipped up in gimp, well I just don’t need to fudge the regular fonts anymore. Which browser was rendering the CSS entry correctly is up for debate, but it is generally accepted that FireFox more closely adheres to CSS1 and CSS2 standards, though they don’t quite get CSS2 completely implemented. Translation: FireFox is better.

I see FGL has visited. I had known there was a weakness in MEME Watch and both FGL’s and my own vanity searches show the Achilles Heel of MEME Watch (a shortcoming I will address this weekend). MEME Watch needs to be able to exclude a list of root URLs. My vanity search for “Bare Naked Lady” should not include items under jaytv.com, FGL’s should exclude flying-green-leprachaun.blogspot.com. I had realized this might be an issue, but figured I would put up what I have so far. The modification will be pretty trivial, but I really need to work on work-work most of this week.
