Here’s recent progress on the battlefield adventure about a widowed nurse from a Confederate hospital aboard a west-bound train pulled by a Union war engine — now with military intrigue, steampunk Texas rangers, undead political separatists, murderous plots, bushwackers, bandits, sabotage, and epic scenes of mayhem:
Project: Dreadnought
New Words: 1515 (not great — that’s a 2-day total)
Present Total Word Count: 14,598 words
Goal: 100,000 words
Observations: Jesus, but planning a cross-country trip in the 19th century must have been an epic freaking undertaking. I get to invent my own rail lines and dirigible transport routes, and it’s still a logistical nightmare … never mind the war zone that gets in the way of much of it.
Things Accomplished in Real Life: Did much day job work; was thrown offline most of the day while Qwest got its act together and (eventually, late this afternoon) got our connection up and stable; therefore was incapable of doing much of the research/poking around required for more information. Oh well.
Reason for Stopping: Time for noms.

Just noticed how hard it is to make out the text boxes (most probably since I’m color blind), but the new looks is quite snazzy. I like!

Yeah, the wee light-blue line for emphasis doesn’t offset them marvelous much. But thank you! And if I can figure out how to change that, I will …

#commentform input {width: 170px;
padding: 2px;
margin: 5px 5px 1px 0;
background-color:#e4edc3;
border:1px solid #33dce8;
}
#commentform textarea {
width: 95%;
padding: 2px;
background-color:#e4edc3;
border:1px solid #33dce8;
}
Look for that section in
style.cssand change the border values in. :) You should be able to do it right inside WP’s admin panel even.April 26th, 2009 @ 12:13 pm
Thanks! And voila! Easier to see now, I hope?
