site business

Some notes on the blog now that it's no longer hosted by Blogger:

-I've had to scrap the tagging system (the little "file under" tags at the end of each post) because it wasn't compatible with the new site. And they were a pain the ass to keep up.

-Patricklynndrury.blogspot.com is still up as a snapshot of last week, but doesn't update along with this site. Eventually it will disapear from search engine cache's and Blogger will release the domain. Once they do, I'll grab it again and use it to point people to this site.

-Right now you can't find this site by using a search engine. I just submitted my url to all the major engines, but they only update that sort of thing once a month, so it'll be a few weeks.

-Last night I saw this page in Internet Explorer ( I use Firefox) and noticed the flickr links are all outlined in blue and my star and speech balloon images at the bottom of my post weren't showing up. Does anybody else have this experience in their browser?



Hey Man,

In html code, you can get rid of link borders, by going into where the pictures show up and altering the code.

In HTML, you would find the code for the image source and inside the greater and less than tag, type border="0"

Or you can use CSS and possibly change all links to a different color, such as black, and if there is a border or if links are blue, they shouldnt be anymore.

the CSS code looks like this.
a:link { color: black; }
a:visited { color: black; }
a:hover { color: blue; }  


The border are actually already set to be black - and that's how they appear on firefox. What color are they on your computer?  


As a matter of fact, the whole thing looks terrible in IE. Much different than how it looks in Firefox. There are weird spaces between the boxes on the inbox, the fonts are different, the sizing is different.

If you're looking at this site in IE, you're really not getting a good sense for how it's supposed to look. Ugh.
