…and recovered some features that had gone dormant when a blank got unchecked. Now if you want to go to one of our other Closed Circle sites, including to the store, you have convenient links over there. Easier still: bookmark us when you arrive, and you’ll never lose your way.
I've improved (I think) the Links List on the left sidebar…

Petfinder? Unless my eyes are really shot (I have another test this afternoon), did that link disappear?
Nope: it’s under Our Blogroll. I’m working on the order of it. But it’s there.
I noticed the website and blogroll descriptions, including the shout-out to Joe’s Ruthie (and I let Joe drive my car?!?)yesterday. Very nice improvement/enticement to clicky.
Me? Drive a car? Unheard of! It was Ruthie (or her spirit) driving Betty.
CJ, sorry, I missed it before. Between the bold typeface the bars to the left of the blogroll, I just didn’t see it. Thanks.
I like the new look, though the bold specified doesn’t seem to be taking (as I recall the code code doesn’t work, but here goes):
h1.blogtitle a:active {
color: #666666;
font-weight: bold;
}
h1.blogtitle a:hover {
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
}
I don’t know if you get that deep into the HTML. Maybe using the trite blue would be more recognizable as a link? The gray rather de-emphasizes rather than emphasizes.
The keyword cloud is worth a chuckle: “font-size: 9.88059701493pt”–are you sure that shouldn’t be 9.88059701494 point type? :LOL:
My only real difficultly with the site is find things in the MESS O’CAPS AT THE TOP. 😉
Sorry: It’s been a you and Jane type of day. This life running over you like a deuce-and-a-half is contagious!
Good news: I’m reading on a 28″ (27.5″) monitor from Costco.com. Wow! 1920 x *1200*. Really big. All those little pixels very readable. This thing could make you give up your laptop. 🙂 Or not….
Well, Walt, I tried. And I now have lost the color on the link margin. 😉 I’m so clever. It gave me a chance to change colors, but it’s paying absolutely no attention to the color choice I’m making on the spectrum-sheet. And if I try to get a color all the text, not just in the links, but in the sidebar, goes palest non-legible grey. So I think we have lost color. But at least we have a distinction.
I wish I were more familiar with the system you’re using and could help. Sorry.
Lol, Walt, I’m due to upgrade my theme software anyway, and it may be it will work better with the upgrade. I’m going to ask Jane to by-stand to be sure I don’t do anything to blow up the site, but I don’t want to present her with anything computerish while she’s converting text…which is still going on, 3rd day now.
The Petfinder link question leads me to ask: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with a grieving cat? Since Cassie was euthanized in July, my male cat Sylvester has become extremely mouthy and clingy. He meows constantly, paces back and forth, and has taken to sitting on top of the chair when I am at the computer with his tail swishing my nose. All he wants me to do is sit down next to him and pet him…last night my neighbor came over to talk and after 20 minutes of his meowing and pacing asked me how I could tolerate it. It’s constant when I’m at home. When I leave for work in the morning, the meowing is so pitiful I can’t bear to leave him. When I get home at night, he’s under the bed hissing at me. He had none of these behaviors when Cassie was alive.
I don’t want to ask the vet for Valium, and I’m not ready to socialize a new cat nor do I think another cat would necessarily make him any happier. I’ve tried keeping him hyped up on catnip, but it only lasts for a little bit before the pacing and meowing starts again.
