I’ve used the CSS attribute letter-spacing to control the amount of space in the titles on my site. They work fine in Firefox, utilizing the following CSS: h1 { letter-spacing: -.08em } IE6 doesn’t seem to like negative em values. IE6 actually adds spacing between the characters in this instance. To fix this, I used the * … Read the rest of this item

I’ve got my fingers crossed right now, but I think I finally figured out what was going wrong with Blogger and it’s ability to publish my blog. It was choking on the MeasureMap script I had to incorporate into my template.

I thought my issues with Blogger were over. They aren’t. I’m still getting Broken Pipeline errors when I try to publish. I got no response from Blogger. I guess this is to be expected from such a big company… especially one offering free applications. After evaluating several blog applications, I have decided to make the switch over to MovableTypeWordPress. I’ll … Read the rest of this item

I’ve been using Measure Map since November 11th. Since that time, I’ve found it to be extremely efficient at tracking stats within my blog.

It appears my issues with Blogger have been resolved (for the time being, anyway). I am continuing to investigate my options as far as what I might migrate the site to… But right now, I’m just happy to have this thing working again. I’ll post more later this evening.

It’s amazing… Just thought I would share it with you all… Grab the MP4 here. (2.48Mb) Grab the WAV here. (13.4Mb) Don’t have Quicktime? Grab it here.

Kim had another 3D/4D Sonogram this past weekend.Little Tyler was rather uncooperative this time. Most pictures we were able to see either had him obscuring his face somehow, or shoving his toes into his mouth. I am continually amazed by the thought of this child that will soon come into Kim and my life. We’re truly … Read the rest of this item
