Art Crawl!!!

Yes, it's like Beep Me, etc. are spoiler fonted - they appear when I mouse over them.

from your design POV is it important to have a visual difference between the verbs (read/message center/maintain) and the links to the more static or less-used pages--would you have them be different classes still?

No, actually, I think it's better, design-wise, if they're the all the same class. I'm not sure why we ever made them different.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've noticed that too but if I scroll over (or mouse the page up and down) they stay re-appeared.

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

Hopefully we're not too cutting edge (ha! as if, ever) with the CSS, but it looks like we're bumping into cross-browser interpretations.

I'm not sure why or how everyone read the same piece of paper and wrote such different code--it's such a lovely idea.

Jon, when you get a chance, can you have a look at the left-hand panel on css.net? The HTML is generated the way I think it should be, but the effect on the formatting has about a double indenting of the list elements and it lacks the former harmony.

That HTML parallels this, which mean you could easily apply this look or this one. I mean, assuming you have more time on your hands than sense.

Yeah, we're on the right track, but it needs some prettying.

I'll try work on it this weekend and see if I can come up with the desired css fix.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I did a t blockquote in buffistechnology and it didn't take.

Did it used to take? I've always used the quickedit.

I've always found it useful to use blockquote for quoting more than a couple of paragraphs here.
