Steady rain. A magnificent day to be a snail. They're all out basking on the paths and in the puddles. I think for some it is "Snail's First Rainfall". The walk to the station was somewhat treacherous. Concentration on where I put my feet. Couple of magpies hanging out on the platform, indifferent to the wet and feathers well bedraggled. Swishing their beaks in the collected rain for a drink and singing a melodic 'fuck off' when I watched too long.

Nothing says a melodic fuck off quite like a magpie!
ReplyDeleteOh, the worry of stepping on snails in the rain! And frogs.
ReplyDeletePS New look blog is classy
ReplyDeleteMagpies just have to look at you and you know it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, walking in the dark after rain is a terrible crunchy venture. Do not like.
I want to make the blog post boxes lighter, but buggered if I can make the template listen to me. : /
In the template CSS, find the bit that says:
ReplyDelete.post-outer {
padding: 15px 20px;
margin: 0 0 25px;
background: #f3f3f3 url(http://www.blogblog.com/1kt/watermark/post_background_navigator.png) repeat scroll top left;
change that #f3f3f3 to #ffffff
Dammit. Tried to follow your advice, Aanimal, but the template coding doesn't follow that model.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I guess the CSS is generated by those weird group/variable blocks and can't be edited directly?
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say anything relevant here without knowing the syntax and entire system. *googles a bit* Can you edit any CSS anywhere? Or get to a screen where you can directly edit those and definitions? (So not the Fonts and Colors page, but somewhere where you can directly do template editing.) If so, at the very bottom of it all, try adding the following:
/*
* Variable definitions:
*
*/
.date-outer .post-outer {
background-color: $mypostbgcolor;
}
(What I try to do there is to specify a new variable "mypostbgcolor" for the background color of posts, and then insert a CSS rule with higher specificity than the existing rule (so that it'd override the existing rule) that uses that variable.)
Urgh. Blogger ate my tags. Once more:
ReplyDelete/*
* Variable definitions:
* <Variable name='mypostbgcolor' description='MY Post Background Color' type='color' default='#fff'/>
*/
.date-outer .post-outer {
background-color: $mypostbgcolor;
}
