[Cerowrt-devel] is there an html expert in the house?

I started writing up some data on the recent rtt_fair tests,
incorporating svgs and so on, and it turned out terrible
presentation-wise. What I wanted to do was go bloggy (using hugo) but
there are several flaws in the css (From my perspective)

What I want is:

The sidebar, flush right, (to heck with these huge margins) and of a fixed size.
The content flush left and for it to resize the flow of the text and
the graphs to fit, no matter the size of the content portion.

so, my prototype of this is at http://the-edge.taht.net/, and i was
thinking of just doing up a new (shared) one for blog.cerowrt.org or
something like that.

I used to do this on my old blog (
http://the-edge.blogspot.com/ ), but I haven't the foggiest idea how I did it.

Anyway, I finished the text to something substantial, and I hate the
formatting part... attached.

Aside from presentation, I am really liking hugo, the integrated
write-showresult mode is quite handy, and it compiles fast, and the
results on the web are insanely fast.

well, anyway, I put out what may become "blog.cerowrt.org" into
github. DNS for it should propigate over the next hour or so.

My concept here is that the world has moved to github, and static site
generators, like hugo, are all the rage. I have thus far failed to
migrate the existing redmine installation elsewhere, and I have a very
large queue of things half written that I'd like to stash somewhere
they can be shared....

I tend to write long emails chock full of links to graphics, and I
frequently feel the need to revise or expand upon what I said.

I also used to keep my lab notebook in git, with test results and test
scripts, and if I can do all these things and "get it out there" -
with minimal effort on my part, it seems like a win. If folk want to
author blog entries or otherwise contribute they can fork and develop
locally on their own hardware using hugo -D server... and then issue
pull requests. This also gives us SSO (single sign on) which reduces
the spam to zero (vs the wiki).

That said... boy do I hate html and css, almost as much as I hate
textile, learning hugo has not been painful but it's still complex,
and I still have to migrate the existing bufferbloat.net sites to new
servers somehow, months ago.

Pushed fixes to this to the blog-cerowrt repo. Kept the feature where
the sidebar moves to the bottom if the browser window is less that 992
px wide - otherwise it's going to look horrible on mobiles :)

Thx, man. That's exactly what I wanted.
http://blog.cerowrt.org/post/rtt_fair_on_wifi/ looks great now. (do
have to revise the text some).

I realize that I'm a throwback, but I remember fondly an era where
browsers only took up a part of our screens, and useful productive
tools for creating stuff - like emacs, inkscape, test tools, chat, and
other applications occupied the rest, in their own windows.

the images resize great now, in particular.
