200!

By -
Since neither one of my really good 10q's are in yet, for my 200th post, I decided to take the new design live, flaws and all.

I'm still doing some tweaking here and there. But it doesn't look like anything else that anyone in the SD blogosphere is doing. I hope to have all that remedied tonight (there's only so much I can do over my lunch hour).

The old template is still in a file, in case I have too many problems with this. BTW - in some versions of Internet explorer, it's just ok. In Firefox, it just sings.

So, bear with me and my growing pains.

In case you're wondering, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi scrolling in the photos at the top is Cadet b.k. (not to be confused with reader BK), the SD War College official mascot. And, yes, that is Todd Epp of SD Watch fame up there as well.

I'll change the pictures every once in a while as it suits my fancy. I already have a couple to change. I didn't do a very good job on the Thune one, and I have some excellent photos of him from the GOP Nat'l Convention .

Let me know if you hate it. Or if you don't.

UPDATE - I'm going back to the last design for a while, while I tweak the other one and get it to work right.

Okay, I've got it a little more in line with what I want. I'll see if I can live with it. If not, I can always go back to the last design. If there's any code jockeys out there, I'd welcome suggestions on shrinking the left column, and maybe putting in a hairline divider.

9:30 PM - OMF'nG!! These templates are a pain in the ASS! I think I've played with it enough. The main thing I want is my little scrolly thing with the pictures. And I've made allowances for crappy internet explorer, so it works with that OR firefox (The best browser solution made today - thankyouverymuch!)

p.s., if the little pictures rotating make you seasick, at the bottom left of them is the on off button (i/o) where you can start or stop the pics.

The actual text of your blog entry (not the links to the right or left of it, but the text itself) is cut off (on the left hand side) on my screen. Changing the text size doesn't remedy the problem. Just FYI

Yikes!

Either I've disappointed you somehow enough that you've kicked my blog off of your feed list, or my feed isn't working.

I take back whatever I had said about you. Put my blog back on! :)

It's a feed validation error. I'm working on figuring out if it's something on my end.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
