Does that seem like something SKB would say to you?

It makes blogging a snap. It’s still in beta, & it’s got a few bugs, but I think it will prove to be incredibly useful.

And I am trying not to dignifiy the troll R. Neal’s bile with a response.

Open a new tab (Ctrl-T), type “about:config” in the address bar (w/o the quotes), and hit enter.

Welcome to better browsing!

Once I found a theme I liked, I’ve found it is way better than reading each and every webpage.

.post {
margin: 0 0 40px;
text-align: justify;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}

Try making it:

.post {
margin: 0 0 40px;
text-align: justify;
border-top: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
}

This should give a buffer all around the posts. You can play with the number all you want or make it four separate numbers (padding: 5px 10px 25px 15px; — top, right, bottom, left;).

#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 0px;
margin-left: 760px;
width: 190px;
}

after that, I’m out of clues.

Welcome to Firefox. Here are a few extensions I recommend:

Tab Mix Plus (more powerful tabbed browsing)
Adblock (to get rid of unwanted ads and scripts)
Flashgot (when combined with GetRight, it’s a killer download app)
CustomizeGoogle (more powerful Google searches)
IE View (gives you the option to open a page in IE)
IE Tab (gives you the option to open a page in an IE tab)
PDF Download (gives you the option to open PDFs in a new tab or to download)
StumbleUpon (to find random cool crap on the web)
BugMeNot (to get around registration at most major media sites, etc.)

That’s one of the stuipdest remarks I’ve seen all day. I can’t believe you geeks would waste valuable time when you could be working or something twiddling around with some bug-ridden third-party geek browser. “Real power user?” Hahahah.

IE apparently has some measurement bugs and, as is usual, web designers tend to code around those bugs and then not care that things don’t look right in other browsers.

Looking at your style sheet, it’s a little confusing (why is “narrowcolumn” wider than “widecolumn”?) but I noticed that your sidebar specifies a 0 width margin for the left margin.

Try this setting:

#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 10px;
float: right;
width: 190px;
}

If that “float” line causes problems, try this:

#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 10px;
margin-left: 750px;
width: 190px;
}

but you really don’t want to specify particular pixel positions if you can avoid it – making things float lets them work on more/different kinds of displays.

go there and search for your spelling checker. I need to do the same, i’ve yet to try something out.

Jon, thanks for the tip.

Standard Mischief recommended tabbrowser prefs for more tab options. I think a better – and much more comprehensive (think undoclosetab and restoring tabs after crashes or shutdowns) is tab mix plus:

To get the search box resized, try the resize search bar extension:

I have mine to always go to where I click, when I left-click.
always open a new tab when I middle-click
and open in a new window whenever I right click and select via context menu

All of that overrides whatever the webmaster or mistress thinks whatever’s best for me.
