My first bookbinding post!

[al28894]

I have finally posted my first ever bookbind! And OH MY GOD I REMEMBER HOW BAD I AM AT PARSING HTML.

In my ignorance, I never thought Dreamwidth's Rich Text could lead to errors in the completed post. So when I clicked the 'Post to:' buttom I almost popped when the post showed extra spacing, centered text, and the cut section being openly displayed. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank goodness I haven't completely forgotten how to parse HTML, because it took me an HOUR to finally make the post as proper as it could be. I also think using all the images in different formats (direct linking and small linked thumbnails + making them all centered) made the Rich Text formatting a bit confused.

Thank goodness I'm going to post there once a week, because I don't think I could take it if I have to parse HTML every other day. The blog is for redundancy, and I will get better at it as time goes on. Still, that was a headache-inducing morning.

hi numbers! I had wondered who would be subbing to me when I already saw Keystone Publishing subbing to me - should have known you'd have multiple accounts haha. I'm very impressed with how much you cleaned up on that inaugural bookbinding post, by now it looks very slick!

Thank you!! And lol, I hope I didn't surprise you with the subbing from multiple accounts! The whole bookbinding post took me like an hour to edit, and I was half-flailing about on my keyboard going "Why aren't you doing what I want!???"

oh no, no worries! Dreamwidth is still the kind of place where new people are a pleasant surprise, lol. I feel like an hour isn't bad! - but then I've never delved into HTML formatting to this extent.
