One more tech bleg
See that line in the upper right (just under Uncle Ben and Monkey’s Uncle). I want it gone. Can’t figure out how to do it. Anyone know?
Stupid Uncle err php.
Update: Done. Thanks to Alphie and David. And I’m working on full posts showing in the feed. I have the option set for that but something is a bit off. Not sure what. Had this issue before and fixed it but the new template has reverted back.

I’m no tech wizard, but my first thought is that you might want to set Insert_Stupid_Annoying_Line_Under_Monkey_Uncle to “no.”

I knew I could count on you 🙂

SayUncle – I had previously asked about the Glock. I had actually been shooting (it was 7 seven years ago now) a H&K USP45. Having spoken to the owner, I’m going to go that way I think. He also recommended “a 911 government model with a 22 conversion unit so I can blast away all day for a couple of dollars”. Thought that was pretty cool as well…

H&K’s are fine guns. Can’t go wrong with them. I’m no fan of 1911s as newer guns on the market (like the H&K, Glock and Sig) are superior. For the price of one of those conversion kits, you can just buy a 22 pistol (like a walther p22). I’d just get the Walther and then you don’t have to swap barrels and slides.

OK, I’m just guessing here, but . . .
The bar is totally unrelated to the graphic because the graphic is 720 pixels wide and ends in the middle of that bar.
Thus I hypothisize that the bar is related to the column.
To start the column you have a div with an “id=sidebar”. Your CSS says:
#sidebar {
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
That says to put a border at the top and another at the bottom. Sure enough, there is another bar at the bottom just under “Terms of Use & Legalese” where the div ends and the next div (footer) starts.
I suggest removing the “border-top” from your sidebar element and seeing if that fixes the problem.
BTW, there’s a line out to the right of your footer that’s just sorta sitting there floating in space for no apparent reason. Your CSS reads:
#footer {
background-color: #fff;
border-right: 1px solid #959596;
}
I recommend removing the “border-right” line.
So ’tis not “stupid PHP” but rather “stupid CSS”, a much more common complaint and one I heartedly agree with.
And I just don’t think that newer guns are superior to my 1911. Just less complicated, less pretty and more like a toy. You’ll take my Kimber from me when I can trade it in for a laser gun or maybe one of the Trekkie phasers, not before.

BTW, would you please consider increasing the number of characters in your RSS feed? Perhaps even publishing the whole thing? When I look for other bloggers doing posting on a specific story I search using my RSS reader (200 blogs and growing). If I don’t find it there, I don’t link to it so if you don’t mention the words I search for in the first couple of lines of your post then I don’t read it. I know you post on more stuff that I want to read!

in the stylesheet, find :
#sidebar {
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
change or remove the border references….cuz if you scroll the page down, you got one down
there too.

Xrlg, fudge, you’re funny. Hope you got the answer you needed, ’cause I can’t help.
