GIGO: words unreadable aloud

Color test, template munging.

At some point, I made my item template's background color the same as that of my home page. It wasn't intentional. This posting is to see whether my new choice works for me. Or makes any difference at all.

1st try did, but not the right difference.

2nd try? We'll see.

My vote for worst feature of Radio's web-based editor: the ESCAPE key throws everything away with NO confirmation on it. Bad news for vi users!!!

The Rendering problem was: Radio doesn't notice changes in a file (in particular, one of the "#" files) if you rename it and create a new file with the same name. But that's often what I do because of the CRs in those files when they're edited via Radio/I.E. I have a shell script that renames the file, and then runs 'tr" to create a new one with the CRs replaced by NLs. I just have to remember to remove the backups when I do that to Radio files. I think I ran into this same problem months ago, but now I want to start removing the excess tables in my theme. This also solved the mystery of why my "GIGOzilla" change did not take, until this morning.

(I had replaced my title with "GIGOzilla" and the dorky anagrammatic subtext with "Carrying trademark bullying to absurd lengths". But since the flap with Toho and Davezilla seems to have subsided, it's not particularly relevant any more, so I have reverted it.)

City Nicknames, Take IV

Looks like I'm the third-ranking Google authority on City Nicknames. Many thanks, again, to Erland Sommarskog for the Swedish selections (and to Jaguar's "Character Palette" for making it easier for me to type some of them). See my static site's City Nicknames list. for the current version.

Not that I'm trying to affect my Google-ranking on that score, mind you. But, oops: I moved into second place since last time I checked.
