A Couple Of Updates and A Favour

It has been a nightmare for me yesterday. :( I accidentally deleted my blog folder from the server. And, I didn’t have a backup. My host had a backup of the contents from the start of the month. So, I had to re-upload the new theme, post images etc.. So I took down the blog.

And, I moved my blog to a new host. So, time for which the blog was inaccessible for you can vary from person to person, depending on your location, due to DNS updates. Finally, I’m back here :) Many tweaks that I did to this new theme was lost. So, if you find something broken, do let me know so that I can fix it.

Do You See What I See ?

gotchance Recently, I notice something. When I submitted my blog to BrowserShots, I noticed that all the screenshots showed a different font than what I’ve used in my stylesheet, which is “Lucida Grande”. I thought that it maybe so because those are captured by robots maybe. So, I want you do me a favour. Click on the image to your right, and also check out this post. Then, comment below in this post letting me know :

  1. Whether the font you see in your browser is the same as what you see in the image.
  2. Whether the “popular posts” box and my photo are of the same height.

This will really help me fix the theme, if it were wrong. Thanks :)

The font is different in the picture and on the post, not sure why, but i believe it may have something to do with the browser/os the shot was taken on.

Also, on the real post, the picture is slightly larger than the box, in the picture, they are the same height.

Again, not sure why, but hope this helps in some way anyway :P

Thanks Flyer, that does help. Basically, if you the font “Lucida Grande” installed on your machine, the post will look the way it is on the picture.

I started following your blog just today, and this is in fact my second comment here. I am glad I came over after you have resolved your site migration issues. Now it’s down to business and I am subscribing to your feed now.

Great Blog :)
