Preterition

Hooray! After some CSS self-schooling, I managed to get images incorporated into the layout (although it’s now pixel-precise rather than Movable Type’s more flexible percentage-based float defaults). It still doesn’t look quite the way I’d like it to – I think I miscalculated margins and padding, and so the gutters between the ‘columns’ are twice as wide as they should be – but I can certainly do some tweaking. (There’s also an ugly kludge that’s a result of not using MT’s top banner, but I’ll need to learn more in order to be able to fix it gracefully, and I think that can wait a bit, as long as the kludge isn’t readily obvious.) I’m grateful to The Layout Reservoir, Glish.com, and Firda Beka’s Book of Styles for guidance.
