Layout Tweak (Did you notice?)
Category: Design... Navel Gazing...

Ever since the Gazette got a makeover last August, I've been dissatisfied with the look of the blogroll and recent post links shown in the right sidebar. The look wasn't bad...it just wasn't what I wanted, and I was frustrated that I couldn't get it right. I decided that the problem was that I didn't understand how Blogrolling.com was delivering the links via its Javascript, but I never thought to explore its website to see if there was some documentation that would clarify things.

Turns out, there is. In fact, there's a page entitled Customizing Look and Feel with CSS (the link is also available via the "Code Generator" page associated with each blogroll). A quick read of that page showed me what I needed to do.

I've now eliminated the too-wide gaps between the links and added discrete borders between them. And, I just checked the page in both IE and Firefox for Windows and it looks fine. I hope you approve.

And if you have a blog and are using Blogrolling.com's service, you might want to check the above-referenced documentation. Unless, of course, you've known about it all along...in which case, thanks for nothing. ;-)
