…in Iran.
Tomorrow may be very interesting. And disappointing, perhaps, to the White House, if the regime changes.

At som points, I had visions of Tianemen in my head while reading that. However, based on the “you demonstrate/celebrate here, we’ll demonstrate/celebrate there” it then brings to mind Taxpayer Marches on 9/12/09 compared to some of the left-wing looney protests that never materialized (or, for that matter, the Inauguration trashing of DC vs the relative cleanliness of the Taxpayer March).
I wonder how large the crowds will be on each side of the line, and how well-behaved they will be comparatively (and, of course, I have to wonder how the size of the crowds will be reported or not reported by the MSM)
Also, FWIW, as I noted in another story’s comments, your site has been broken (center and right columns are next to each other, but they appear below the left column) for me since some time on Friday. I just did a “view source”, and notice a “Added center tag here on February 5th, 2010” towards the top. Whatever you did there appears to have broken the site on IE (at least, IE 8 on Vista).
I just removed those “center” tags, John. Let me know how it is now.
Re: the layout of the page. Title block appears centered on my screen (in Firefox), but the three columns below it are all over to the left side of the screen. Not overlapping, just left-justified. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but the monitor I’m reading this on is a widescreen, so the offset is very noticeable.
No, it’s not intentional. I’d love to get them recentered, but haven’t boned up on CSS enough to figure out what the problem is.
The real question is this: while the people of Iran are risking their lives by taking to the streets in protest, while they’re pleading with the West to help topple this horrible regime, what flavor of shaved ice will the President of the United States be eating?
Nope, didn’t work.
But, I opened the source in Notepad++, looked through it, and found a closing div tag out of place. Not sure where it is in the original page code, but the “rogue” div tag is right before the line that says “END HEADER.PHP”. Move that div tag down to the bottom before the closing body tag (I put it with the pair of div closers above the “Gorgeous design by Patrick Chia” line), and all should be right with the world.
Or, at the very least, all 3 columns will be next to each other again, even if the rest of the world isn’t quite right…
Well, I did that, John, but it’s still not centering properly.
I’ve never seen it centered properly the entire time I’ve been visiting, actually. But, as I mentioned, at least all three columns are next to each other again.
I can look into it some more and see about actually centering the whole lot; I was more concerned about the columns at the time.
I’d appreciate it if you have the time. It was doing so until a few months ago, at least in Firefox, but I mistakenly overwrote the template with an older version, and haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it.
Do you have the CSS code easily available that I can look at? It appears that the issue is somewhere within the definition of the “columnbox” class, and possible in the “leftcol” and “content” classes, as well, but they must be in an external CSS document, because they’re nowhere to be found within the headers of the page in the source.
Pop a copy of it over to my e-mail, and I can take a peek at it. If you don’t have access to the e-mail addresses that we use when we comment, let me know, and I can send an e-mail to you for you to reply to.
