Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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?

Hey. New board.

Yes. I'd go ahead and delete the things you DON'T want to change, while you're at it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It would work fine, but it'd be unnecessarily slow -- the only parts you actually need are the changed bits, and it'll take anything you're keeping the same from the main stylesheet.

Ah, nice to know. Thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can you mappy people tell me if you see the same thing here: [link] and [link] ?

Billytea, here's one CSS font tutorial. And there's also the w3 schools.
