Okay, folks, I’ll be honest with you: I’ve spent the last three hours working on the Week in Ink, and thanks to the fact that WordPress is being pretty phenomenally uncooperative, I’ve only managed to get two reviews written.
In retrospect, I probably should’ve seen this coming.
As much as it pains me to cop out on my first real update back from trying to get this thing set up over the past week, it looks like it’s flat-out not happening. Hopefully, I’ll be back with the reviews tomorrow, but until then, feel free to check out my shopping list to find out what I was planning on reviewing.
The more astute of you may notice that despite the fact that it is clearly a work of the highest genius, Dark Xena somehow didn’t make the cut. One can only guess at what’s going to end up being Best of the Week in its absence.
Damn you Kevin Church! Your shenanigans cannot be tolerated much longer! I warned all of you! I told you this was a trap!!!
Comme la femme ColbertBwahahahahahahahahaha
I’m letting Shane Bailey take the blame on this one.
I love love love that outfit of Black Canary’s. The Farah Fawcett hair can stay gone, though.
Could you not merely have applied your new domain name to the existing blog and saved all this shenaniganery?
Which is not to be negative. I like the new layout and all.
As long as we’re on the topic of the layout, IE6 chews it up and craps it out like a stump-legged whore on PCP.
Seriously, the middle column gets shoved to the bottom of the outer columns, and the width is totally squished.
“All Killer, No Filler” my sweet Aunt Petunia!

I just checked it in IE 6, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0, and IE 7 and I didn’t see any of the described problems.
Everything should be fixed now. Hopefully Chris won’t have anymore problems and The ISB will be running smoothly again from now on.
I was a little disappointed when I checked the place out this morning, only because my favorite part of the ISB is the weekly reviews. I usually hit my LCS on the weekends and try to check out Chris’s writeups before I go. Thanks for the hard work, and good luck with the new site!
So I am fully expecting a “War that Time Forgot” review Chris. I bought that thing and EVERY SINGLE story is full of Kanigher-tastic moments.
“…thanks to the fact that WordPress is being pretty phenomenally uncooperative…”
Don’t lie. I heard Jeff say last night that he wished you’d wait a few days to do reviews.
This’s just another attempt on your part to swoon the Kahrs.
So let’s see:
1) The ISB moves to a new website
2) Suddenly there’s less Sims content
3) Kevin Church owns the comment section with his unique mix of plausible denial (“I don’t see any problems with IE 6”) and tyranny.
4) Nobody was kicked in the face
Chris, I like the new site layout and it looks great, but remember separation of state and church, if you know what I mean. I’m concerned about hostile influences on the ISB.
Since I’m the only one who saw the crazy layout bug, it’s fixed now.
But I need face-kicking. Soon.
Hey, Dark Xena was brilliant! Xena comes back from the dead only evil after Gabrielle makes a deal with Cthulhu! How can you not appreciate tbe brillance of the Xenaverse now absorbing Lovecraft into its’ hodge-podge of contradictory mythologies!
Nah, seriously… I only read it cause I pick up all the Xena stuff for my fierce amazon-loving girlfriend.
Love the new layout. Glad to see you back online!
I had that issue of JLI when I was a kid – I remember the cover. The custom caption had me spitting Diet Coke all over my desk. Bravo.
Is anybody else having RSS feed issues? I didn’t see this pop-up, but maybe I just missed it.
Hahahaha! Love that cover.
If you really want to learn CSS, go here. CSS is insanely easy to learn, you’ll pick it up in no time.
Like my Concepts of Web Design teacher said, “The hardest part of CSS is HTML.” If you’ve already got a handle on HTML, you’re pretty much good to go.
Okay, apparently you can’t do links in comments, so:

Any update on what problems WordPress is causing you?
That’s it, I want a refund.
What do you mean I haven’t paid anything?
The problem was Blogspot using their mojo to get revenge on you for bailing after they made you one of their Featured Blogs.
Wasn’t it?
Seriously, the middle column gets shoved to the bottom of the outer columns, and the width is totally squished.
I just checked it in IE 6, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0, and IE 7 and I didn’t see any of the described problems.
Actually, if you switch images off in IE 6 – which I sometimes do when I’m browsing the interweb at work – then the above problem does occur. The middle column gets moved to below the outer columns.
It’s a minor annoyance compared with the gain of not having to read & type in blogger’s verification code.
Of course, switching images off also means that you miss all the face kicking and dinosaurs attacking tanks, so it’s probably not a wise move.
Line breaks and paragraph breaks are glitchy bitches in WordPress, but you’ll eventually get the hang of them. It only took me… oh, two or three months of daily columns.
Good luck! :)
Black Canary’s hair gave me douche chills. Awesome!
