CSS Rendering Issues

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Mixed tensor

I’m having some rendering issues in Opera and MSIE.

I want to include currency and version information at the end of poem titles. I’ve decided to print a superscript current draft asterisk directly above a subscript version number.

I’ve attempted various methods, such as negative left margins to move the superscript over the top of the subscript, but the best looking was to enclose the <sub> and <sup> in a <span> and float:left the <sup>.

As can be seen in the screenshots below, it renders as I expected it to in WebKit and Gekco browsers, but not in Opera or IE. Opera inserts a horizontal space between the superscript and subscript. MSIE places the superscript below the subscript.

I don’t have a Windows machine, so no IE, and browsershots.org has yet to give me a grab; I have to rely friends to send me screenshots, so working on an IE solution is slow going. …Read on for screenshots and the code I’m working with.

Theme Update

Anatomy of a Poem Post

I’m making progress on the wordpress theme for this site. Here’s a screenshot explaining the new features

Seeking help with WordPress₂

My single post footer is haywire at present, if you’re knowledgeable with WordPress and/or php I’d like some help with the post footer in the twenty-eleven theme content-single.php.

I have the question posted on the WordPress forms.

That was a long slog. I think I got it. Anyone care to look at the post and tell me if I’m right?

Poem Footer Idea₃

The last line of a post will be followed by some whitespace and this block of text:

Post Footer Idea (rev. 4) bubbled into existence November 13, 2011. It was last tinkered with November 14, 2011.

UPDATE: after sunset

Poem Footer Idea made itself known in rev. 4 on November 13, 2011. It last mutated November 14, 2011.

The Talk of the Town₃

From the Square to the outskirts there seems to be but one issue on the townsfolk’s mind: Custom Field Bulk Editor refusing its duties.

UPDATE: A handsome stranger strolls into town amid much rejoicing; Mass Custom Fields Manager has saved the day!

UPDATE (the second): And then a herd of angelic ponies came riding up with news that the original issue has been resolved!

Oh, my soul_8*

Imagine I’m a mime berating your neighborhood. Fences become scaffolding for my ARGH! skins; I plaster them on everything. Great big ARGHS! on windows and gates and your cul-de-sac becomes my exclamation mark.

By the time you gasp, you’re covered in assorted ARGH! stickers, ARGH! patches, and a cute ARGH! hat. Continue reading →

Hell,

All the clamor on this end of things is all about how why the Robots Meta WP plugin resets every post to index, follow whenever bulk-actions are conducted. Continue reading →

At some point my custom theme broke. I’ve reverted to the default theme until I can figure out what happened.
