Hey. New board.

Weird. Looking at this generated code, I don't even know why that code is having ANY effect, since it still looks to me like the map div is on the wrong side of the generating script. Maybe I don't understand CSS as well as I thought I was beginning to.

Gris' map looks like mine.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thank all you people for making me feel excellently smrt today. My board? Looks exactly like my board did yesterday. And I'm very happy with that.

Because my board? Is a beeeyoootiful board. I'm smiling, see me smiling? I'll bet *those* people don't have a board as pretty as this one.

Hey. New board.

ita, after messing around a bit with one of the really cool web developer firefox plugins, it doesn't look like your code is messing me up. Nor is mine. When I hover over the pins, it says they are "img .gmnoprint" images instead of "img .gmnoscreen" images - playing around with disabling other stylesheets assured me that the gmnoscreen images have the transparency, while gmnoprint do not. This seems like something screwy in the script itself, displaying the wrong image type for screens, at least in FF 3.

ETA: Never mind, that apparently means "Google Maps No Print" - which IS supposed to display on the screen. So it's displaying correctly... just oddly. I'm confuzzled.

They seriously don't. We rule.

Dana, your tea is sitting in my dining room. The whole pneumonia thing threw off the whole mailing process. I promise it will be on its way soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hi there. I was wondering, is there any how-to guide to changing one's personal css? Either on this board or elsewhere. Ta everso.

I figured, Kristin. No rush.

Hey. New board.

Not yet, really, billytea. I've been looking at the buffista.css source here: [link] and playing around, with the help of CSS Googling.

ita, in terms of the map thing: for some reason, it appears that I (and Jessica?) are loading [link] for all of my markers (including the one representing myself) instead of [link] and [link] I'm not sure why that would be, since it was showing me transparent icons, including the blue one, earlier today. From what I can tell via googling, markerff.gif is supposed to be for print use only, but it's appearing on our screen. Very odd.

Ok. Would it, hypothetically, work to take that code you linked to, plonk it in the 'edit personal css' input box, and then make changes to it as desired?
