sangpassionne and I ::cough::justherreally::cough:: redesigned my page at Christmas? And then we added the pairings page? Stage three; going through the stories, all 160+ of the sometimes multi chaptered little darlings.
Why? Because my web space and bandwidth transfer is limited. And because, in a fit of curiosity, after I'd uploaded 'If Truth Be Told' yesterday, I clicked on 'view Source'. Sheesh and eek and what the bloody hell is this crap? Composer was telling it what font to use on every single paragraph!
So I cobbled together some code that I thought I could use at the start/end of each story ::pauses to marvel at my incredible genius::, after I'd stripped all composer's babblings away and sent it tosangpassionne who tactfully made lots of some improvements and off I went.
Did I mention that when you change the code, click on 'normal', notice that, oh, yes, another line break would look better and go back to source, composer has reverted to what it was before you fixed it? Grr.
Thankfully I was only working on a drabble. Now I know to copy it before going to see how it looks. Again, sheesh.
So; will it be worth it? I compared file sizes. Yes, I was that insane. A drabble went from 2.32 to 1.35 KB. Tiddy perhaps, but I only have 10MB. 'If Truth Be Told' went from 78.4 to 44.1 KB.
I'm so doing this. It'll take ages, but I can nibble away at it.
And I'm tracking my Amazon order. Angel S3, Red Dwarf 3 and 4 and a book, don't know how that got in there, heh, might well be here today as Amazon shipped them two days ago. Cool! Vindaloo Curry Monster and Wes breaking my heart in 'Billy'; too much to cope with.
Luckily I have my jumbo bag of Christmas Skittles to calm me down; reduced because they're only red and green but I loathe the purple so I'm so not minding that.
ETA; 11.00 a.m package arrived! Ten minutes of attacking shrink wrap and they're mine, all mine ::runs away::
