Embracing My Inner Dork

It looked wrong in black and white, so being the dork that I am, I looked it up.

Affect can be used as a verb when talking about influence.

(I could see it either way. Decided not to correct it.)

Geek is definitely the color for fall. I was reading Facebook posts the other day and noticed my cousin, in a reference to Dante's circles of hell, had misspelled Dante's last name.

In and of itself, a circle of hell for my inner dork.
Endowed at birth with an editor's eye.
And issues with the alphabet.
And all that implies.

Yesterday it came in handy as I had an incessant need to push buttons on pondring's control panel.

I first had to get past the decision point of whether to switch to WordPress or leave Movable Type alone. I chose door number two.

Then went into another of pondring's appendages (I left Dave alone) and pushed buttons.

Dork. Looking for typos in tags, divisions, class ids, containers.

Embracing it. Pondring got some breathing room. And quite a bit of the ugly taken off the right-hand column.

I of course learned things in the process.

Just as soon as I can figure out what type of container has to hold the badges, I'll have that part of it fixed too.
