Photoblog
Well, the other day, I finally decided to take my photoblog site, aaron spruit (.com), out from behind (semi) closed doors. Hell, I’ve even got some pictures up there, along with enough other ones already in the queue to go until Friday of this week.
However, there are still some large bugs with the site. I’ve been trying to squash the most heinous ones, but there are definitely some others. If you visit the archives page, I have an entry at the top that is sticky. As I find things and fix things they’ll get added and removed from the list. However, if you find something wrong that’s not on my list, please feel free to add a comment.

This has a number of ways to convert your images to black and white. Obviously, there isn’t one quick fix, but this can at least get you started.

CSS Problems
Well, I’ve started a new redesign of the site, but I’m having a few problems that maybe someone could help me with. Basically, on the title, I can’t get it to sit 5px off the bottom. As you can see, the title sits 10px to the left like I want, but it won’t sit 10px above the bottom. If you go to my test page and increase and decrease the size of the page font you’ll see what I’m talking about.
The full CSS for this is available, but the section in question is given below.
#heading .title
{
color:#FFF;
font-size: 2em;
position: absolute;
bottom:10px;
left:10px;
}
Is this a normal feature of CSS? Basically, I want the text to sit 10px above the bottom of the dark background regardless of what size the font in increased to or decreased. If you look at an entry at the bottom, that text is always 10px away from the border, why can’t the title section? Yes, I know that it’s handled differently, but that’s the look I desire.
