Okay so I know this blog looks pretty spazzy at the moment but let me explain how my mind is working. I can't do any more tonight because it's 2am and I really need some sleep, but here's what I got up to.
I want to make my columns equal in length which wouldn't be a problem except my quotes vary in length, from very long to oh so short, so the length of the left column is always changing.
My first plan was to add in a permanent column length, so there would just be a blank length of column at the end on each side, enough so that they would always be equal. Problem: the paragraphs in the column seem to distribute themselves evenly in the middle of the column, rather than just start at the top, so i'm being left with blank space at the top AND bottom of the columns, doesn't look nice at all. I could fix this probably but I don't know how YET. So i'm looking at alternatives.
My second option is to completely remove the quotation code from the side menu bars, but where do i put it? I had a look at having it in my main title bar, but it doesn't look very great.
I also tried (and have in at the moment) turning the quotes into a marquee running in one line of text. This way it would always be one line long and I could make my columns even. This would involve me going through and reformatting every one of my 270 quotes which is a lot of work but I am prepared to do it if I shall get the desired result. The problem with a marquee tho is the fact that it's distracting and rather annoying, and if you miss it you have to wait for it to come around again and some of my quotes are rather long. So i'm not too sure about it.
Another option is to put the quotes in between blog posts. I could make them italic or bold even, center them and all that. I worry that it'll make the page too busy, and be rather annoying.
I'm not sure. Please give me advice.
