About those blogging rules…

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about some guidelines for getting started with technical blogging.  I’ve now gone and broke one of them – not editing your WordPress template.

When CSS sharpie Jeremiah Peschka read of my desire to make my site span the full width of the page, he offered to give me a hand.  Lo and behold, my web site is huge!  Ginormous, I tell you!  He made all kinds of fixes to the CSS in the template I use.  The drawback of that is I can no longer upgrade the template, but I’m probably set for a while.

I need to redo the images going across the top of the page, and I need to throw more stuff in the sidebars, but it’s a journey that never ends.  In the meantime, though, I have so much hot fresh widthness that the Enzyte guys are jealous.

If you need CSS help, ping Jeremiah or follow him on Twitter.  He’s also quick with the JQuery magic.

    Your CSS changes seem to have broke the "About Me" section on your sidebar.

    I can't take all the credit. A good friend of mine and fellow jQuery/CSS aficionado, @jckeyes, helped out a good deal.

    I didn't touch it, I swear! Hahaha. I was in a car on the way to a hockey game at the time. Glad it works though.

    I think your blog looks fantastic.

    For someone whose husband is a computer guy, my computer knowledge is very little. I just stick with the default blogger templates. Sometimes I change a color here and there, but that's about it!
