Atheist Nexus

I just told Brother Richard at the Atheist Nexus that I would help out the site however I could, so here's a start, anyway. He is asking for atheist bloggers to promote and represent the site. I added the badge at the left - obviously I need to figure out how to either make my sidebar wider, or shrink the badge...

I picked that particular badge because at the time I copied it it had a picture of Andrew of the blog Artificial Habitat- the first person who ever commented on this blog!* The badge apparently updates with the most popular members, so I can't guarantee he's still on there. I actually "talked" with him today in the Nexus chat room, which was fun, if a little odd. Odd, mainly because I'm not used to chat rooms, not because he is. I don't think he's odd, anyway, although he does have the first three seasons of Battlestar Galactica on DVD. Oh, wait. So do we.

I have really enjoyed the website so far, and definitely recommend it to any atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers, and Pastafarians out there. It must rate highly with me. I put it above the Obama photo!

*Kia of A Blog About Everything was a close second, but even though she was my blogging inspiration, I didn't tell her for a few days because I knew she was a Christian, and I wasn't sure how she would feel about my blog. Of course I shouldn't have worried...

On the HTML "img" tag, just add a "width" parameter to limit the width of the displayed image. The height will automatically be adjusted accordingly. For example:

<img src="imageurl" width="150px">

Hmm. It didn't shrink to fit. It already had "width" and "height" parameters, and when I changed them, it just cut off parts of the badge. I think it's because it's not a normal image. I just widened my sidebar - for the moment, anyway. Thanks Barry!

I had to change the sidebar width back, because my main posts were screwed up on my iBook, although they looked ok on my Dell pc.

I've been enjoying the site so far, as there's a lot of interesting people on it. It's nice to meet like-minded people.

Well thanks, I think!

Don't worry, I am odd

It was good chatting away last night, though I gave myself a headache trying to watch BSG and chat at the same time.

I'm actually chatting to you again right now while writing this comment!
