a sigh of near defeat; facepalm

i really don't remember my blog being quite this complicated to arrange and manipulate, by which mostly i mean putting the pictures and text where i want on the page for each post. in my last post when i tried to align the photos to the left, they only nudged a bit left. thought the medium size might be part of the issue, although i've used larger photos, so i tried small with no difference. haven't yet scrutinized earlier posts to further investigate.

i also noticed that my finished objects and works in progress are not operating. i may turn off the works in progress, bc there are just SO many of them. i suppose i could switch many of them to hibernate in ravelry instead.

when i went to the we <3 progress bars group and another one or two addressing the subject for advice i learned a few things. i think the code for my progress bars is flash, not javascript. it doesn't resemble the coding suggested. i think i added the bars successfully in 2010 following notes that might have dated back to 2007 just like in the forum. when i tried viewing my blog in Chrome instead of Safari, the progress bars displayed as a slideshow. ****oh, wait a minute! maybe what i was calling progress bars is slideshow... i've forgotten so much it's so hard to tell. i seem to recall flash and Safari aren't compatible. but i think i did something to enable it somehow.

not sure how much energy i'll ever have to relearning this and learning more than i knew before. i may just have to settle for struggling to be serene about the few things i can change.
