intertwingly

Now _THAT'S_ a front porch. My house has a front porch, with obligatory rocking chairs on it (that are about 40 years old; they belonged to my grandparents), but mine is rather a bit smaller than yours. I'm having porch-envy... There's a house near mine with a very large wrap-around porch (another hallmark of Southern homes) with several rockers, a porce swing and a ceiling fan for those hot Atlanta summer evenings.

Oops. I should have provided better attribution. While I do have a front porch, that's not it.

Infuriating bug that drove me crazy until a friend pointed me to a workaround.

Define a class for your image paragraph, e.g. <p class="imageleft">

and add this to your CSS:

p.imageleft {clear: both}
p.imageleft img {
position:relative;
float: left;
padding: 0px 10px 10px 0px
}

Alternatively just drop the
position : relative;

from content{}

Thanks both! With Peter's suggestion, I no longer have to worry about this. One note: I had to add a

.banner {border-bottom-width: 20px;}

in order to restore the visual float of the content.

Bravo to Sam and to the people who love Sam. I was recently asked by a reporter what I think about the Lazy Web idea. I said that I've been napping in its cradle for a long long time. Just like Sam does now. When people love you, and you have a question, they jump to help. That's what makes the (web) world go round.

Err... I'm napping in the cradle? Care to elaborate a bit?

Hi:
Yesterday, I posted a question about MyPictures ... and the pics not appearing. This appears to answer it... thank you, and thanks to the lazy web too,

one quick question... I stuck a definition in my css ... how does My Pictures call it... I modified MyPictures with:
< p class="imageright" >< img src="[[url]]" width="[[width]]" height="[[height]]" border="0" align="right" hspace="15" vspace="5" alt="[[filename]] " >< /p >

(added spaces so it won't act on this page)
and voila... it worked but now the < p >s screw up the positioning... sorry to be so dense ...

Napping in the cradle == relaxing in the nook of the Web, pondering life, when a question pops up, ask it, and get an answer in mere moments.

M.Ford: just a guess, but try < div > instead of < p >...

Dave: now that I understand it, I kinda like the sound of it. ;-)

Yes... that did it... you fixed a bugaboo that has been bothering me for several months... now if I could only understand this trackback stuff for Radio

It's a very zenlike thing and a feature of weblogs that few people understand, because you have to not only have a weblog to get it, but you have to have the feng shui of it as well.

Cheater :-)

You linked to the frontpage saying this [sic] pages are valid XHTML, it does indeed validate, however, validating this page itself actually fails the XHTML validator.

I wish I could say this, safe in the knowledge that my own site validates perfectly but woe is me!

M.Ford: Glad to be of help.

Dave: I really wish I could disagree with you, but I was physically in the same room with Ben and Mena as they tried to explain it, and I didn't get it then. Now that I do get it (I think ;-)), I should be able to stage a public demonstration of what it is for in about a week.

Daniel: You caught me! Now fixed. Here's index.html, and here's 1130.html.

IE broken, but not Outlook? Wow Sam, I can actually see the image in Outlook using News Gator.  It was quite a surprise to see an embedded image from your RSS...
