quickie to stejuste ^^

>>i tried... *laugh* i think if i wanted to make it smaller i would have to shrink the pic even more, because otherwise it looks kind of unbalanced with a too-small blog area and a too-large pic. i've squished it a little so now it looks okay on my 17" screen at work. my IE toolbar is very thin though :) just for fun, i checked the new layout in netscape 7. it looks quite awful :) netscape did not understand the transparency or overflow stuff at all, so everything sort of runs on past the containing box

*lol* I know what you mean: It�s like shrinking the pic doesn�t do it justice *grin* Hmm, maybe you can tell people to hit the F11 key before viewing your page *grin* I agree about netscape being totally idiotic. I practically gave upon that program. Refuse to bother myself with all those compatability issues liao. Otherwise, my page will look disgusting ^^ But dreamweaver does insert corrrective code for layers for me, so hopefully the page looks decent on netscape. ^^;;;

>>LOLOL! i thought you liked the tayledras! who did you want to be??? :> phoenix is good! :) well okay actually they're all good, i wrote nice stuff for every result *grin*

I wanted to be a tayledras adept *grinz* ^^ I realised I�ve been getting phoenixes pretty often. Hmmm... ^^ Btw, I�d really like to make graphics for your mythical beast selector, could you tell me which animals you used? ^^ I�m guessing unicorn, dragon, phoenix...and? *lol*

>>hahahaha i knew you would. it was kind of obvious which ones they were *grin* yes, there was a kurama x hiei. also tatsumi x tsuzuki and qui-gon x obi-wan. i was kind of limited in my choices since i'm not familiar enough to make questions for many pairs :}

*grinz* I sort of guessed what was happening when I saw the �*grin*� in the ara/leggy options. Could almost see you with this knowing grin and thinking �i knew rie would choose that!� *lol* Damn. I didn�t notics tatsumi/tsuzuki though ^^

>>LOL! no, there's no way to cheat on that one except by knowing my taste *laugh* that was just a joke, i wrote a lot of them with my tongue firmly in my cheek :) (you know, if you actually think about that it's kind of gross. imagine a tongue sticking through a cheek... :} :)

EEwwwww...now that you mentioned it...gross! Actually, I used to try figure out what they meant by that phrase. Decided that it meant tucking your tongue at the side, though why anyone would want to do that beats me, since it sounds bloody uncomfortable ^^

>>gah. i suspect that my proxomitron and naviscope are somehow fixing my pages for me so that everything looks fine in my browsers when it doesn't to people without the programs. sigh. anyway, that overlap was the fault of me trying to be too clever. i didn't like the original default widths provided by the css file that came with the script, so i tried to change them. but it's a complicated sort of css file. she used a lot of different absolute measurements everywhere :} thanks for letting me know - i've restored the original css file for now, until such time as i feel up to tackling a change again *grin* as you can see, the original squishes the allowed space for the quiz section to about half of the page, which means there's a lot of word-wrapping going on. it doesn't look so nice to me, but oh well. (on my browsers, my amended version shows with the quiz taking up about 70% of the left side and the menu taking up 30% on the right)

Proxomitron and naviscope? What�re those? You mean they happily fix all the bugs on your pages for you? Wow, pretty cool ^^ You might want to use a CSS editor to solve your problem? Dreamweaver works fine for me. There�s some pretty good CSS editors that you can get online:

topstyle http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/index.asp
and style master http://www.westciv.com/style_master/index.html

I think both are shareware though ^^;; You might have to check. For me, I got a pirated version of dreamweaver *sheepish grin* If you do need it, I�m more than happy to send you the entire dreamweaver MX prog thru IRC. It�s about 50MB.

well, I do see the 30% menu and the 70% text thing, only that certain lines tend to run through. Not all though, just certain lines ^^

>>rotfl!!!! fine, make me graphics *laugh* i can probably make some graphics for the compatibility test easily, but for the others, it wouldn't be so easy - like valdemar, you would need pics of all the different characters, and those are hard to get. i don't want to go to the trouble of scanning pix from the valdemar books. most of mine with the good pix are back home anyway, not here, and i have no scanner back home. or, wait, do i? can't remember, oh dear :} :)

I don�t mind doing the valdemar ones *grinz* I�ve got a few of the books with me here ^^ Give me the options, so I can start *heh heh*

>>the quizzes won't come as fast as the polls though. they're a hell of a lot harder to do, and take a lot more time to puzzle out *laugh* i was racking my brains last night trying to think of a good topic to quiz on. i did end with one idea that might work. i'm going to work on it today and see how it turns out :>

Ah, for once, the binge is on a lower gear *big sigh of relief* *rotfl* Your quiz binge was scary since you seemed to be churning out quizzes at a rate of a dozen a minute XD

>>but i have to admit that everytime my host goes down, i am reminded yet again of how addicted i am. poor boy must hate me. i'm a better alarm than the company he uses to monitor the uptime - they only check every half hour, whereas i keep bugging him the second it goes down, because it invariably goes down while i'm coding or uploading or blogging *laugh*

*rotfl* Omigawd, i think I feel sorry for the boy ^^But well, he is making money you know *lol* I�m now seeing a picture of you standing guard at your com with a phone in one hand and your finger on the redial button *rotflmao* Gosh, you sounded sooo funny XD

>>hmm. actually i was wrong. the original is about 454x 630 pixels in size. heightwise it fills up my entire screen from top to bottom. widthwise it's maybe one-third of the screen, or almost half. the resolution of the jpg is 72 pixels per inch.

ack, 72 pixels is a little low. Otherwise, can lah. I�m sure I can think of something *grin* send it over ^^ Maybe I�ll just make a 800x600 one. Otherwise, it might look a little puny on a large screen ^^;

>>ah, thanks, i am duly (re-)educated *grin* are you looking forward to the next book? i'll need to re-read everything before it comes out; i've forgotten the details of the stories already, other than how irritating dobby was :} :>

Actually, I�m not really loking forward to it, but I�ll still read it anyway XD As long as sirius and remus reappear, I will *lol* I just re-read book 3 and 4 the other day. Hence my refreshed memories ^^ You need to read book 3 if you want ot even marginally understand sirius/remus fics you see ^^V Forget about goblet of fire. It�s long, lengthy, and boring >.<
