Apparently I don't blog enough.

According to Jem, I don't blog enough. So just for Jem, here is an entry. :P

I am having weird browser issues with the greyscale theme (the default one). First the numbers next to the comments disappeared in Opera when I upgraded to version 8.54, then the blog title arrow thing disappeared in IE. WTF?! Now, IE users have never been able to see the numbers next to the comments, because of the way my CSS works and how IE displays its ordered lists. Basically the gravatar image ends up covering the number, and no matter what I did it wouldn't work without screwing up in other browsers. But Opera always used to show the numbers, I don't get why it's suddenly stopped now... I know it's to do with the image again (if I take out the float: left; everything is fine, but if I put it back or change it to float: right; it disappears) but I don't know how to fix it. Grrr. And as for the title bullet, IE is refusing to display it without a background colour. It refuses transparent, none, or inherit - it MUST be an actual colour. Whaaat? It was working fine before I condensed all my background stuff into one property, but I tried putting it back into the separate ones and it still won't work. Grrrrrrr.
Anyway, Firefox is still behaving, as I hope is Safari (don't have a Mac, can't check) and all the rest of the browsers I don't have. It's just IE and Opera that seem to have forgotten how to do things. *Grumble*

I need to redesign this site completely. Revamp and rejig of content and stuff. I need to delete the whole thing and start again, that's the only way I actually manage to do it. If I just go through what I already have and try and improve it, it just ends up staying the same or looking even worse. Boo.

Oh yeah, and also according to Jem, I don't link her enough. So here are a few plugs to go with the other 5 or so that she has on my homepage alone. :P

    ..and you should totally change the different plugs to link to different areas of my website to improve the overall search engine listing. ;)

    Search engines are blocked from here so there's not too much point :P

    *Does it anyway*

    I love all the gray..it's simple and beautiful. Yes, IE makes me want to scream sometimes.

    I'm at school and using IE and everything looks fine to me.

    And you don't link me enough either, dammit. (It's worth a shot...)
