OK party-people, it’s Good News/Bad News Time:

Good News: Having a block of time unexpectently free itself up today allowed me to do a little more research on implementing the aforementioned effluvia bloglet feature. I’ve gone with Sean & Basil’s thinking (thanks guys!) and decided to stick it off to the side. I’ve even found how to do it in WP using all sort of PHP goodness.

Bad News: While the bloglet is up & running and I pretty much have gotten the text to look the way I wanted, the kerning (line-spacing in CSS-speak) is a lot tighter than I have for the text in other off-to-the-side goodies. Without my having done anything special (or more accurately, without my having knowingly done anything special). Now since I’ve decided that I like the kerning on the bloglet, I’m trying to get it to match the other menu items to match. And it ain’t working. line-spacing, as far as I can tell, does not work. Or maybe I should wait for Obviousman to hit me off-side the head.

Time to move on to something else for the time-being…

Update 5:06PM: Fixed it. No particular “eureka” moment, it looks like among the multitude of crapola I’ve copied, pasted, hacked, tweaked, cajoled and just plain pulled out of nowhere and stuck into the CSS file, there was some inconsistency in using “line-spacing” and “letter-spacing”.
