Hey! Your comments are ugly!

Lucian | Tuesday, April 22, 2008

I gotta say: this blogging thing is turning out to be quite an adventure. After the technical quirks and down right problems I had, here is another one:

Notice anything strange? Yeah, I know. And this is the new and better version. Previously to this, comments were all with a light gray on white background. So I put some good hours into figuring out how to work with css and get this result. Not too good, is it? Still, being the first css editing I ever make, it’s not bad either.

But here’s the thing:

This is how the comments for another post look like. See the difference? I wonder where it comes from…

But don’t get me wrong! I really love the Freshy2 theme, even though this issue came with the original Dark Drax skin of the theme, from which I modified mine. I just wish things were simpler. I’ll keep trying during the next days, but it may take a while.

PS: also related to this, you will notice that if you try using the search on the blog, you will not be able to see the writing. This seems strange to me, because the comment blocks and search box seemed to have the same entry in the css file of the skin. I mean, initially they were changing together. Then, just when I got the comment blocks right, *this* happens… I will work to fix this, too.

PPS: I am also working on adding some borders to the images I place in posts, so they don’t blend quite so much in the background. All in good time…
