Blog Carnivals Available

Okay, I am back in business after finally resolving the coding issue on my blog, thanks to kind advice from my blog sibling, Tim.

The Tangled BankSeveral blog carnivals have been published recently that will interest you. First, my favorite blog carnival, Tangled Bank, issue 47, was published by Kete Were. Tangled Bank is a celebration of the best science, nature and medical writing recently published on a blog. There is plenty of good writing there to keep you busy during your lunch breaks. They also included a piece that I wrote.

The granddame of them all, that blog carnival that started off all blog carnivals, the Carnival of the Vanities, is also available. I was most honored to notice that one of my pieces was chosen as the Host's Top Pick in issue #178.

thanks! yes, i am using garamond. good eye! do you think i should also change the font for the left sidebar? i am thinking of changing the h1, h2 .. etc., font in the sidebar to garamond, but leaving the list font as it is.

hopefully, this font theme will be preserved in my new header, after i finally get the thing designed, that is! (it is currently trapped in my head).

I think you may still have a coding problem. Blog used to look fine for me, but now the posts are showing up down below all the sidebar stuff, which requires a whole lot of scrolling. I'm using the dreaded IE.

I had the same problem as PM - the text shows up below the sidebar and the body area is blank - in IE. I switched to FireFox and had no problems.

I could go either way on the sidebar, but it would be nice to have the same font in the comments, if that is possible.

My solution for the IE sidebar problem on my own blog was to reduce the width of the sidebars and content slightly. That seemed to fix the problem except for IE on 800x600 monitors. That went beyond my abilities. For some reason IE makes the margins too wide.

IE is evil, you know.

thanks for the help, everyone. i do think this problem is solved now, so i am busily rewriting the template so i can create more problems that need solving.
