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.

So I changed the styling here, a bit. I was bored and didn’t have a clue where I was going with a math paper (had to break out a calculator on that one). Actually, I had the layout visualized slightly; making room for an extra feature, hopefully soon. It will be pure reflections, episode to episode, but they won’t be the post content of the blog.
Um, well I still have Saber in a way. I’ll probably change that, but I like the overflow of the banner. It allows for more variety in shapes and sizes. I won’t put the ‘fixed’ styling though, since it lags bad. Also, I’m thinking about this train that is blasting noise in my window using list menus to free some space on the sidebar.

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.
