Living the Liminal

I’m taking a break from the blog for the month of October. I don’t have a particularly compelling reason, it was just something that came to me when I was contemplating my next entry. Considering I’m approaching 500 entries and have been maintaining LtL, with a decent amount of regularity for a personal blog, for [...]

Writing my first entry on the iPhone in preparation of logging and blogging my upcoming trip. I don’t think I’ll use this for posts of any length, but for short notes of to post a quick snapshot or two, this will be great. Here are a couple of pics from my visit to Maine:

My current theme doesn’t load properly in IE7. Now, I don’t use IE7 and don’t recommend that anyone use IE7, but I also don’t want to have people visiting my site and seeing it look like crap just because they are using a dumb browser that isn’t standards compliant.
So I’m on the search, for either [...]

Recently, I’d done a major change to the look of LtL:

And I liked it, I really did. I was proud of the background and how it integrated with the header image, and I liked the header image too - the colors really pop and provide a cold luminescence that is both bright but also gives [...]

LtL is back up and running after several days of struggling with some SQL issues as I transferred hosting servers for the site. After a number of years with GoDaddy.com, I decided, for several reasons, to switch to Bluehost.com. I wasn’t planning on changing themes, but happened across this one and really like the simplicity [...]

So it seems that whenever I try to edit static pages with Safari, all the formatting gets messed up. I was at my wits end trying to figure out what was going on until I thought to myself, “Self,” I thought, “Maybe you should try another browser, just on the off-chance that somehow it’s [...]

I have been using Ecto for blogposts since moving to the Mac and have always liked what it offered, especially the easy access to Amazon Associate links, the way that, when you select text and click the “link” button, the program automatically fills in the link address with the last copied http address, and the [...]

I’ve been wanting to make the site a bit cleaner for a while now, and have looked at a number of themes that were close, but not quite there. This one is the closest to what I was thinking and I really need to start designing my own themes if I’m going to want to [...]

So, a few weeks ago I made a big deal about how I was going to do daily entries and that each day would have it’s own topic. While I wasn’t 100% on that commitment, I was trying to keep up with if for about 3 weeks. Then, last week I stopped doing it. Why? [...]

If anyone can make a suggestions, I would hugely appreciate it. Here’s what I think is the necessary code:
From the CSS:
/*** NavBar Format ***/
#Nav {
margin-top: 8px;
padding: 0;
list-style: inline;
float: right;
font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Trebuchet, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 14px;
margin-right: 12px;
}
#Nav li {
float: left;
color: #fff;
}
#Nav li.first a{
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
#Nav a {
float: right;
padding: 0 5px 0 5px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 30px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
width: [...]
