Grr. I pounded my head against this damn thing for a while before finally thinking to look at the source of the entry that was producing errors.

But perhaps I should start at the beginning. New design. Lovely, isn't it? But I wanted to have mouseovers, and built the page with javascript preloads and everything. So instead of the eyes you see on the right, you'd see the same pictures with no text, like so:

... and when you moused over, only then would you see the text telling you what that eye was.

Won't work that way. Diaryland converts special characters through its little upload function, and two of the characters it replaces are the { and } you need for Javascript. So you get Javascript errors on viewing the page, and the mouseovers don't load. Bah.

I suppose I could do the mouseovers the old fashioned way without the preloads, but the old fashioned way sucks.

My wrists hurt and my fingers are kinda numb. I think I'll step away from the computer now.
