Wrestling with the unknown

Well, I seem to have wasted a whole day trying to change the template and CSS file to make this blog look like my test site. I have wrestled with that CSS file every which way I can. I made all kinds of changes and did actually convert everything to percentages, but that threw off the alignment of everthing and threw it all the way over to the left. What is so ridiculous is that I could have done the whole thing in tables in an hour, from scratch. All I have been doing is trying to tweak a damn template and CSS file that works if you start from scratch, that will not seem to work with the multitude of entries from the last several months on this blog.

The only upside to the whole ordeal is that I have a lot greater knowledge about CSS and various page tags than I did a couple of days ago. I am not wondering if it would not be better to just do my own damn template and CSS file. Of course, I would likely have the same problems pouring several months of bloggy goodness into whatever I came up with, wouldn't I?

Well since my last suggestion didn't work out for you. Why don't you join this mailing list for a few days (or longer).

If you post exactly what you want to do, I'm sure Kevin will be able to assist you. He's the one that helped me figure out my problem adding a 3rd column to my existing template. Oh, and as an added bonus he actually likes to help with css. ;)

It's not very high volume, so you won't be inundated with email.

Sorry I couldn't help further...
