14:17	<skippy>: think we should have tabbed menus at the top rather than just links?
14:18	<mikelietz>: like tab tabs?
14:18	<skippy>: yes.
14:18	<mikelietz>: I'm not sure.
14:18	<mikelietz>: I do think they need to be set apart more than just links
14:18	<skippy>: just make those primary links bigger, mor prominent, then?
14:19	<mikelietz>: They could become buttons.
14:19	<mikelietz>: I spent some time trying to make a solid black bar on the left side, but wasn't very successful.
14:22	<skippy>: why black bar?
14:22	<mikelietz>: for contrast.
14:23	<mikelietz>: Instead of having white text on a black logo on a white area, it'd be white text on the black.
14:26	<mikelietz>: Does it need to be 1005 pixels wide?
14:49	<skippy>: the page? I dont know.
14:49	<skippy>: you should be able to make it fluid easily. check the README.txt file
14:51	<mikelietz>: well, the margins are fluid.
14:52	<mikelietz>: It's just a wide space to put a bunch of text into.
14:52	<skippy>: the logo overlaps now. we'll need to resize that.
14:53	<mikelietz>: I can probably fix that.
14:54	<skippy>: nice top links.
14:55	<mikelietz>: thanks
14:56	<mikelietz>: Is the logo in a block?
14:58	<mikelietz>: ah, it is.
14:58	<mikelietz>: which makes it "content"
14:58	<mikelietz>: or rather .content
15:07	<mikelietz>: Something is very wrong with the Contact page.
15:09	<skippy>: you jacked up the tabs.
15:09	<skippy>: the Contact page is generated by the Contact module.
15:14	<mikelietz>: right. And something is messed up with how it is generated.
15:14	<mikelietz>: what tabs?
15:18	<mikelietz>: the generated contact page doesn't have the admin tabs, but that doesn't seem to be the reason it doesn't work.
15:19	<mikelietz>: different body classes. not-front vs front
15:20	<mikelietz>: a whole bunch of different body classes.
15:21	<mikelietz>: And I don't see where to change that.
15:21	<mikelietz>: WTF? Why can't the contact form be a story?
15:47	<skippy>: because its using the Contact module.
15:47	<mikelietz>: It seems to add one class that messes stuff up.
15:48	<skippy>: let me look at how to control that
15:49	<mikelietz>: .node-type-page
15:49	<mikelietz>: I think that's it.
15:49	<skippy>: http://drupal.org/node/316740
15:50	<skippy>: can you put a colored background on the current page's tab? So when viewing About, the About tab has a colored background. Or grey. or whatever.
15:51	<mikelietz>: It's doable, yes. I'm not sure it can be done here without javascript.
15:51	<mikelietz>: wait, strike that.
15:51	<mikelietz>: there's a class.
15:51	<skippy>: primary links should have a class for selected
15:51	<mikelietz>: .active, I think
15:52	<mikelietz>: Ugh, that didn't work.
15:53	<skippy>: we can make the Contact page a Page, and drop the form if we need to.
15:53	<mikelietz>: There should be an easier fix than that, I'd think.
15:54	<skippy>: http://drupal.org/node/335020
15:54	<mikelietz>: what is a node?
15:54	<skippy>: content.
15:54	<skippy>: Pages and Stories are nodes.
15:54	<skippy>: Everything inside Drupal is a node. Except comments. They're comments. Weird.
15:56	<skippy>: i added a Location link to the top menu. Now it wraps. That's yucky.
15:56	<mikelietz>: easy to fix that, just a little math.
15:58	<mikelietz>: fixed that there.
15:58	<skippy>: volunteer extends too far in its nox
15:58	<skippy>: box
15:59	<mikelietz>: the word?
16:00	<skippy>: yes
16:00	<mikelietz>: wchich browser?
16:01	<skippy>: http://dropoid.com/56+
16:01	<skippy>: FF on linux
16:02	<mikelietz>: curse those linux fonts.
16:02	skippy curses linux fonts.
16:03	<mikelietz>: try now
16:04	<skippy>: no change.
16:04	<mikelietz>: wish I knew which font it was actually using.
16:05	<skippy>: are you specifying widths for those buttons? If so, why not stop?
16:06	<mikelietz>: stop specifying the widths?
16:06	<mikelietz>: instead use padding?
16:06	<skippy>: i guess. you're the CSS guy not me. 
16:06	<skippy>: I hate web site deisgn.
16:06	<mikelietz>: then they're not all consistently sized
16:06	<mikelietz>: but this wide linux font. Argh.
16:07	<mikelietz>: now it's probably just as bad?
