LOL, and I can understand that!

Unlike all those other things, CSS is my buddy... it just acts up on me sometimes. Presenting itself to me one way in one browser, and being another way in the next browser! (But this one last problem I had actually occurs in all of them, whoopsie)

Oh, Xepher, you are magic. How did I live before knowing you? ;x; lol. <3

Somehow I had the feeling it had to do with my redirects, but I wouldn't have known how to fix it. %D

Ah yes, it works! We are the form masters now. Thank you. XD

Oh my. I'm testing it again and the forms get emailed to me blank. D: I think everything code-related hates me today, lol.

Keep in mind a lot of search engines put preloading in their search results, meaning the top few results get preloaded by compatible browsers even if the user never clicks or actually views them.

That would explain a lot!

I juuust installed Inkblot and WebComic, and Firefox is telling me this whenever I go to a not-main-page:

Redirect Loop         

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

    * Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?
    * NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.

I'm gonna assume it's because of the above mentioned.

Wait, maybe not. Guh. My first foray into CMS is killing me slowly. See here: http://lf.senshuu.com/pages/ click any navigation, I dare you

Ohhh. Wow. Hmm, but it worked when I used that pair of letters on the demo website to test it. Which doesn't make sense. The site didn't explain things very well (or, well, anything), so I wasn't actually sure what the "from" address was for...like the dummy I am, lol.

I have the feeling my container divs cause more headaches than they should. With the aforementioned issue, I know the width of my container related to the problem. Make the container less wide? Messed up. Make it wider? Also messes up. Don't define a width at all? Way messed up. Whoa. I resolved to take out an element I started feeling was "extra" and let it be all weird and off-center until I decide to relocate the ad box or something. :B


I've been using a 100% table height trick for a few websites. http://apptools.com/examples/tableheight.php This one. It only works sometimes. For example, it doesn't work on Millennium's site, except in the archives pages. And when I implement it into my code for Smackjeeves/Drunkduck mirrors, weird things happen. WEIRD. But it wasn't really needed at those sites, anyway.

http://senshuu.com/temp/tcc/ This site I'm working on for someone neither does 100% width nor height well. When I had only one green bar stretching the full width of the page it was fine, but now they both stop short and cause horizontal scrolling... strangely. Also, the main content area doesn't go the full height. If I only specify borders for its left and right, it definitely does not touch top-bottom edges. Used to have a lot of extra space below it for some reason, too (I really don't get when my sites do that).

Mmm, overcoming design hurdles. Any assistance with these issues is appreciated. <3

I finally found a free site that generates an actual email submission form for you. Yay! It's this one: http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/

It worked when I tested it on the site. However, when I put it in this page, suddenly it doesn't work anymore. It gives me the not-sent error every time, and I have no clue why. Boooo!

I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the way email-stuff's set up on the server. I thought this was pretty simple...

Looks like it only counts unique visitors for each month, instead of daily. I hope that it actually counts only uniques throughout the month, and doesn't just keep adding up daily uniques. I've been skeptical about some of the data so far. The stats have been counting for 5 days so far, and I already have 500 uniques? That sounds a tad high... granted I have more than one "site" on my account, but it still seems high.

Oh well. In any case, this is still a really cool and fairly comprehensive 2nd look (or should this now be my FIRST look) at site stats

This. It doesn't seem like I should have gotten 1000 uniques in 5 days, even though I have several different sites and I am getting slightly more traffic overall lately. But I also have a bad sense of math in my head... I hope this is true, anyway. %D

Also, it links to a bunch of my pages incorrectly, like in the top 10 URL section. Files in, say, /lf/, or even lf/pages/, are linked as if they're in the root folder, which is wrong. But it's not an issue, just weird. :B

Firefox does weird things. Both versions, Windows and Mac. Apart from using up 95-99% of my CPU within fifteen minutes to half an hour of opening it (which I won't fault it too hard for, as it seems even Chrome and Safari does this now and much more annoyingly, ugh), it does things sometimes like not showing me images on pages, when the images are definitely linked correctly.

In fact, I can go directly to the image URL and it'll load up fine, but on pages they won't show at all. I can look at the image under Page Info and it'll be like: broken! This has happened with a select few of my own hosted pictures on my own websites, and a few from Photobucket... they show up in other browsers. c_c

Generally a better solution for those cases is a 301 permanent move redirect to the proper page. It's also extremely useful when trying to salvage your search indexes after a large-scale change.

Aaand now I've done that, since they're better than the refresh redirect thingy I used to use. Yay!

Apparently I've gotten a few "hits" from someone using IE2. I'm not sure what to think of this.

After reading something on a blog, I feel very old-fashioned. Since I've been coding each archive page of my comics manually for five years, and since there's lots of stuff that does all that for you now, I'm all, "guhhh, webcomic archive CMS, must have." But I don't really fancy Wordpress/Comicpress, either. In fact, I'd like something that allowed my archives to be almost exactly as they are now (without any massive renaming of files, reorganization, and so forth) in terms of layout, but with some kind of system incorporated to make it so I don't have to edit all those pages anymore. D: I'd almost use the Single File Gallery since I think I could manipulate it to my tastes, but IIRC its generated urls are ugly.

I have the feeling something like this was brought up in another thread around here, too...

Apparently I'm getting a lot of 404s because there're people still linking to the wrong homepage/archive for Millennium now. I made a note of the change on the error page, hehe.

I don't get some of the numbers on this stat thing. Some of them just seem...well, too high lol.

I like the new stats.

It's weird when I can access Xepher sites but I can't log into sftp. This is one of those times. D:
