metaphor

So, I’m in the middle of a redesign—check out the new menu! I like where it’s going.

I also replaced my hand rolled post info toggle with Mathias Bynens’ Bulletproof HTML5 <details> fallback using jQuery using Joe Anzalone’s WordPress plugin HTML5 Details Polyfill.

I’m getting FOUCed and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. The plugin is loading the CSS and the jQuery in the footer of the page, I wonder if it should be loaded first to avoid the blink. I looked at the plugin code and it seems like that’s the intent, I don’t know what it is about my WP installation that is causing the code to be loaded last.

Meanwhile, I have an idea for a poem. It’ll be something like this:

metaphor

What spins the kalachakra?
Nothing, it’s just a metaphor.

anxiety is bursting at the seams
depression is recoiling into a safe cave
and mania is loving every bit of you!

Who spins the kalachakra
No one, it’s just metaphor.

Unbroke, but limping

I’m in the middle of updating this site to a custom child-theme I made on a development server. There are some key differences between it and my host. It’s making for a challenging transition.

After an exhausting bout of frustration the site is actually displaying something, exclamation mark.

Without analysis, judgement, or defense, I have decided to open this unbroke but limping site.

I trimmed down the code for y’all. Here is the most minimal parts of it. How can I make this work in Opera? (yes, and maybe even IE). By work in Opera I mean render like it does in Webkit and Gecko, like so:
Example rendered in Safari

Apparently the magic that allows this to work is the css height: 0; declaration. I’m not sure why that is, but it gives me the chills (and probably nightmares entitled Box Model).

Or, if it’s easier, you can download a html file (css embedded).
