Friday Lynx - 2009.12.18

It's been a while since my last lynx post (or any post, for that matter), so I have several:

• First, a not-quite-new, but still kick-donkey technology I would love to see more of.
  
• One of the Mere Comments contributors linked to this in response to a particularly banal bit of political idiocy. I plan to pull this out and use it whenever appropriate.
  
• I have never made it more than 30 minutes through Napoleon Dynamite, but here is some interesting footage about real-life ligers. That is a really big cat. One of the cool things in this clip is that the zoologist explains why ligers are so big.
  
• Finally, to wrap things up on a narcissistic note, I'm finally on Twitter. I make no warranties as to how often or for how long I will be posting on Twitter, but there you go. Follow at your own risk.
  

Woot!

Okay, I managed to get the CSS working for the posts. There's still some tweaking that I'll want to do, but at least I figured out how to do it.

I ended up uploading the pictures to an unposted post, which loads them into my Picasa account. Then it was just a matter of finding the urls to access those pictures directly, and pasting them into the template HTML editor. Then of course came the part with the monkeying around with padding and margins to make everything line up. Check the source of this page to see what I ended up having to do (if you really care that much).

Wizard Wednesday: Blogger Templates

I'm sort of in the process of trying to update the look of this site, but I'm running into problems getting Blogger to find the image files that I'm trying to use for the styling. I have tried three different hosting sites, including Blogger itself, but no luck so far. Anyone who reads this blog (all three of you :) ever played with this and can give me any tips?

I'll post more on this later if I figure anything out.
