Fucking Google/Blogger And Their Fucking Tags
Blogger decided to fuck with the web design sometime in the past week. How? By inserting the following empty HTML tags into my fucking template without telling me, or allowing me to remove them:
<div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;"></div>
Which royally fucked my web template, as well as Furtive Explorations, and a fuck-ton of others.
My fix, thanks to a bunch of other blogging geeks?
/* FUCKING GOOGLE. */
.post-body div { clear: none !important; }
Now before I get emails saying "Blogger did it, not Google!" let me clarify.
Fucking Google owns Fucking Blogger. Fucking Google is on a multimedia rampage lately, and these style tags being inserted without the blog-owner's knowledge and consent is part of said multimedia rampage. These tags are part of their multimedia upload support for Blogger. So basically, these tags are being automatically generated to support multimedia content that doesn't exist 99.9% of the time, and are there to make it easier for stupid idiots with cell-phone-cameras to dump photos to their blog. Fuck the cell-phone-camera people, fuck the idiot(s) who thought inserting empty tags with FUCKING PAGE-AFFECTING STYLE TAGS was a Good Thing, and fuck Google for finally pissing me off.
I still love Google, and I still think their attempts at being GOOD within and without their company is a Magnificent Thing. But this sort of sloppy shit pisses me off, and I hope it isn't a sign of what's to come.
