If ...

... things look strange on EL tonight, it's probably because I'll be toying with the settings, trying to upgrade the template (while still keeping the general layout).

EDIT: Whew, I really screwed up some of the font formatting, didn't I? I'll see what I can do to fix it ...

EDIT 2: Messy, messy. I feel like I've tinkered with Elusive Lucidity in a bad way--and it would take hours and hours to conform the hundreds of posts I've made here to look good and ordered. I'm tempted to just apologize, accept readers' alerts for any particularly awful formatting on old posts, and just move on. Hmm.

If anyone can help me out on how to mass-convert these posts from being alternately single- or double-spaced into a nice, uniform, single-space look, it'd be a great help. I'm fearing I may have to fix them up, just about each post at a time. (I have almost 400 posts...)

BTW, my links are a work-in-progress ...

You know, I don't know. But the switch was a pain for me, too. Luckily, I only had about 60 to fuck with. Still haven't fully formatted all of them to the new look, actually. But I seem to remember going into the HTML thing to edit some code and that switching the formatting of single vs double spaced text... No promises, unfortunately, since Blogger is awful silly and sometimes plain aggravating. Especially when you really want to revert but cannot. But I trust you will figure it out. Weird, though, that I was always kind of tickled, to say pleased, that you never made the switch. For some reason the relic status added to the charm, you know? Not that it will be totally lost. I'm rambling for no good. Okay, later.

Ryland, I'll see what I can do. Looking over the old posts, I see that they're double (or at least 1.5) spaced, which is not what I'm going for, but otherwise fine, and more or less uniform to the same shitty-looking standard.

I tried to keep my blog a bit of a relic, but lately I've been in a Get Things Done mode before grad classes start. All I really wanted to do was to add a blog roll but I had to upgrade in order to do it. The other big upside is that my blog is now titled 'Elusive Lucidity,' not html code, and I can keep my little header image in its stead--something I couldn't figure out how to do in the old Blogger.

Hi, Zach, thanks for adding me to the blogroll. Am returning the favor.
