Layout fix...

alexpgpSome time ago, I had noted that my LJ layout (Flexible Squares) had suddenly begun to display text posts in such a way as not to "wrap" around my userpic.
Then I noticed that, despite this behavior, the text of comments did wrap, and that got me to thinking—go figure!—about another change that took place at the time that text stopped wrapping, and that had to do with photographs being "cut" to column width if they were wider than what the style allows for "normal" column width (not optimum behavior, but it is an annoyance I can live with).
Nothing I did with the CSS code for ".entry" had much of an effect, and then I noticed the code for ".entry_text" and ".entry_text .ljtags":
So, clicking on "Customize" and then "Customize your theme" under where my current theme was shown, and then selecting "Custom CSS", I scrolled down the page to the "Custom stylesheet" text box, entered:
Between this, coming back up to speed in GNU emacs, and learning about org mode and BBDB, I'm feeling computationally accomplished!
In other news, invoices are caught up to date. As far as the rest of the year is concerned, it's difficult to predict what the next couple of weeks will bring. On the one hand, it's the holiday season, which might lead one to think work will be slim, but historically, that's not the case (at least not for me).
Looking at the overall numbers, I completed 6 assignments in the last 15 days of 2009, and 13 in the last 15 days of 2010. Part of the explanation for all the work lies with how people about to take time off want documents to be translated in time for when they get back. (That explains why I get so much weekend work. It's an occupational hazard for translators, but the money earned pays the bills just as well.)
Cheers...

.entry_text { overflow: hidden; }The first, I reasoned, is responsible for cutting photos off at the right-hand margin, and according to a Google search, the value of "both" for the "clear" property basically keeps floating elements from appearing on the left and right sides of an element (e.g., the content of an entry).
.entry_text .ljtags { clear: both; }
So, clicking on "Customize" and then "Customize your theme" under where my current theme was shown, and then selecting "Custom CSS", I scrolled down the page to the "Custom stylesheet" text box, entered:
.entry_text { overflow: visible; }clicked on "Save Changes", reloaded my journal, and BAM!, text was shown wrapped the way it used to!
.entry_text .ljtags { clear: none; }
