A very non-sense post, but here’s the recent theme/css mod:
So basically, it’s the exact same, but I changed the structure so it fills the WS. Changes:
- Left sidebar: hold in-blog links
- Categories and Archives moved from the dropdown menu
- Categories is becoming more fluid and less cluttery
- Right sidebar: holds feeds and expands with the page
- [future] relocate the Recommended blogroll to one of the sidebars
Anyway, the trick to all this wasn’t fun, because modifying present themes [that weren't built that way] is a no-no. Blah, *needs a drink*…. so, how did I do the flexible sidebar, with persistant columns? I won’t go into the specific adjustment, but here’s the general idea:
A professional CSS wizard would probably know what this is called, I call it using up the whitespace of a single column, which emulates a larer number of columns.
My main reasoning for this is that the feed columns get rather tall, but when side-by-side they average out the page height. Though, not every screen likes a really wide page, so it is dependant on the browser window. And ya.

I felt like doing a little GIMP work this morning, so I whipped up some colorful patterns (unrelated to posted image) and a variation of the previous header for given blog. It’s funny how I should forget about IE6, (a suggestion from mellow), but the styles work.
Too bad I don’t feel like working on other stuff today. Time for some seasonal anime, reflections coming.

Well, I’m content with the layout at this point, though I may alter it at any interval of free time. Plus, I wasn’t really feeling tip-top yesterday while I was rumaging through the WP CSS. I feel much better today and hopefully will post something already jotted down in Notepad++. I have quite a few older reflections on series, a couple on mangas, and some recent things.
For now, some of the titles I plan on mentioning here include NHK ni Youkoso, Bokura ga Ita, and Pumpkin Scissors, though there will be others. I have a backlog problem (like everyone else), and sometimes there has been weeks where I didn’t get to enjoy a single episode or volume, but hopefully I shouldn’t fall into those kind of slums anymore. One series I really would like to finish up is Black Lagoon; soon.
My blogging style can be better understood in the About section.
