Warning: delirium is making me feel wordy...and less caring than usual about spelling mistakes.

Another Warning: It's longer than it has any right to be. I think I'll graciously allow these words to do double duty, and go add them to my blog. http://ladylady.blogspot.com in case you're intrested. Go see it!!! Only one person ever goes!!! WHO ARE YOU, MYSTERIOUS POLLER?????

Yes. I have been working (nearly) this whole time, trying to wrestle HTML into doing my evil bidding. At this point, my stomach is really pissed off at me for not eating anything, my body, finally realizing I had given some attention back to it, looked at me disgustedly and said "Yes, DUH you are TIRED moron" and my brain feels like a frothy pile of poo.

BUT my ring links are the right size! Wahoo! After much careful comparison, utilization of font viewers on Word, and brief consultation of a font website, I came to the conclusion that it was probably actually the right font, at a *slightly* different size. From there, possibilities went off into an incredible maze containing thousands of dead ends and one right answer which I reached, finally, after trying EVERYTHING ELSE I COULD THINK OF AND MORE.

Eventually, I managed to get it down to 95%.

That's right.

It was the same damn font...five percent smaller.

*stabs self in head with kitchen knife*

BUT

(what, you didn't think it was coming?)

they're ba-ack *places hands on weirdly staticky computer screen*

THE UNDERLINES ARE BACK AGAIN.

I figured out that it is yet another code buried in the original template, telling everything listed in the sidebar to be underlined. I hadn't even noticed before cause it actually looked nice, it's just when you slash it up under -s and +s and >>s and whatnot that it starts to look like crap, and you actually start noticing it. So, in order to fix the size, I had to let the underlines come back.

I may just let the mofos stay. We'll have to see how frothy the ol' brain is feeling tomorrow.
