Chilling and Recreational CSS Hacking
Maybe it was a bit unfair to whinge about the weather the other day… this is Scotland after all. The sun’s been out last couple of days, along with a few showers, and the view of The Pentlands from my flat is restored to its usual glory:
Finally managed to chill out in the last couple of days… been enjoying cooking, and some happy cycling on my old mountain bike – albeit with the recent theft of my almost-new Brompton from outside college still a vivid and bitter memory.
I felt like doing something pointless, so I set up a profile on MySpace.
(I’ll happily do anything at the moment except think about my dissertation….)
What a mess myspace is, at least from the front-end… never mind Web 2.0, it’s not even Web 0.5 – feels like 1995 in there, nested tables all over the place, not even any doctypes (gasp!). Form submissions seem to fail “unexpectedly” a lot of the time, too.
Fortunately I found an article by Mike Davidson that spells out what you need to do to gloss over the hideous mess and tidy things up a bit with CSS so you can change how it looks. It’s a bit of a hack, but it made for an interesting way to spend an evening…
