WordPress 0.71

(5:13 pm) Tags: [Site]

Upgrading to WordPress 0.71 could have been easy, if only I had the proper columns in my tables :( I installed WordPress 0.71, everything seemed to go fine, except that the wp-install.php script that runs does not alter the b2posts table if it already exists. Did I miss something? I loaded up readme.php, and it said to follow the install script, which I did. Is there no an upgrade script?

On a related note, comments should now look like they belong, although I might try something else with them. Now to work on links and archives…

Fixed the bottom div problem

(4:23 pm) Tags: [Site]

Alex, just an FYI, but I managed to get the bottom div to go all the way across by doing about the only thing that we did not try: just make the sidebar float: right, and leave the main area alone (no float:left). Make sure the float:ing div is specified first, and everything is fine. BTW, I did not ‘figure’ this out as much as I did a view source on the W3C Validator site (you can also reach it by just clicking on the Valid XHTML link on the right side of this page ).

This html stuff can end up being a sinkhole, so just so everyone understands the philosophy of the dotnot.org site: simple and elegant, with minimal markup. I think that has been acheived, so I think I can start on something else, like the silly content :)
