Flocking Blogger...


Now there's a phrase I never thought I would publish and get away with it... ;^)

If you see this post, it means I've managed to configure the Flock blogging client - though I must confess, it took some help from Mark Dixon (thank you, Mark!).

I am still a long way from exploring all the various things Flock offers, and setting up the features best suited to my online life... but that's the point of it, I guess. One thing I have managed to integrate is the Flickr support, which is pretty smooth. Here's a link to my Flickr page, in case you're interested.

Which reminds me... a few weeks ago Wayne Horkan was kind enough to let me know that my blog isn't rendering very well in some browsers other than Firefox (that's the only one I use, so I thought everything was working OK). I did have a go at trying to sort it out, but without success, I'm afraid (somewhere in there I've done something clumsy to the style-sheet and ended up with a missing "end-tag", I think).

The effect is that if you use IE (and, I think, Opera too), a load of stuff which should appear in the right-hand page margin gets stuck right down at the end, after all the blog posts. My apologies for that. I will either have another crack at fixing it soon or, if I'm feeling brave, experiment with cutting across to another style template.

Hiya Rob,

I reckon it's an issue with an ending </div> tag.

The lack of indentation means debugging large <div></div> entries can be a pain, especially across multiple roller templates.

If I was to make a rough guess I'd say it was in your sidebar template, because that's where it always gets me.

If your going to debug by hand, you need to make sure each <div> has an ending </div> and that it's in the correct position.

Roller comments or HTML comments can help. The Roller comments get stripped out, whilst HTML comments get through to the browser.

## for a Roller comment.

All the best,

Wayne

Hi, Robin. I like your name. "Carol" is a pretty name, but it is not my name. I don't answer to it.

I'm thinking about acquiring a browser at home that does more justice to reading your blog. Actually I'd just like to throw my computer out and start new, but that's a different story.

As to your title... smile.
