OH JOY TO THE WORLD

my gosh. this skin took me like... 8 hours to do. EIGHT EFFING GOOD HOURS! *breaks down* oh but thank heavens it works in both ie and firefox now. sigh. i am so not going to check whether this is safari and opera compatible. no way in hell.

ok let me rant about why this took forever. for one, its COMPLETELY css coded. which means the code for this skin is so freakin long. and then i couldn't get the footer to work so i resorted to using z-index but then somehow the preview and actual blog looked different. like totally cheat my feelings larh! in the preview, the navigations worked fine at the bottom, but then when i saved template and viewed blog, the thing flew up to the damn top. waaaaa! then i couldn't bring it back down so i gave up and left it at the top. but now theres this grey strip there that won't go away and i have no idea where it came from.

damn i'm gonna cry man. then there was the problem of getting that stupid black line to appear below the bars. like for some reason it wanted to be above the bars even though it was a border-top for the words. bleargh. then after that i checked in firefox, and to my utter horror, the alignment was completely off for the stupid reason that the two browsers render paddings differently. AHHH. so in the end i resorted to margins and crossed my fingers that it would work. now the coding is all bad and broken but at least it works.

WAAAAAAAAA! i don't think i'll submit this skin. ever. i'm not sharing this! it took me eight hours! * skips off laughing like an utter maniac*

sigh. i think i'm in one those "you either laugh or cry" situations again. sigh. hopefully i wont be awake when my body decides which it wants to do.
