:::crawls out from under rock:::

Okay. I'm attempting to be back. No guarantees, but the rock I've been under for a while is starting to feel a little cramped. :P

I'll be catching up as well as I can. If there's anything important you think I should see that happened in the last two weeks, do point me in that direction.

Otherwise, I read the latest Harry Potter yesterday. Sobbed through half of it, just like I did for Books IV and V, so no surprise there.

Had lovely day with luvenditti on Saturday, contended with passive-aggressive parental units on Sunday (which, of course, was my fault, but no surprises there either) in between reading Harry Potter, volunteering at my club, and finishing my re-reading of Dune once I'd got HP out of my system (sort of).

joane, you going to be online tonight? I have a ton of catching up to do with you. :)

*stabs LJ repeatedly*

Okay, I need the help of all you LJ-savvy people out there.

I am attempting (emphasis on "attempting") to mildly customize Ye Olde LJ.

I am doing nothing fancy.

Yet my own entries spill outside of the box (yes, I think outside the box, but I want my text to stay in the box, dammit!).

Also, there are big ugly white blobs around the user pictures on my Friends' Page, and the spacing is all wonky. I have to scroll down a fair bit before I get even to the first entry, among other things.

I swear, I haven't touched the code at all.

What's going wrong? Help?
