So I’ve been having trouble with image spacing over at the SL-Education Blog. They were crammed up against the text no matter how much padding I put in. Tonight I finally got sick and tired of wrestling with it and called for help. No I didn’t turn on the Bat Signal. I Twittered!

Intellagirl: Anyone know a whole lot about WP? Not a little…but a lot about the ins and outs of the CSS and why it might not act like it should? about 1 hour ago from web  

And what do you know no less than a minute later a stranger popped up in my Guest Gchat and offered help. Not only did he teach me about the Firebug extension for Firefox (which is awesome btw), but he walked me through the edit in my style.css that was necessary to fix all my image goodness on the blog. So this is a story about one tool leading to another. First, Marcus Welz (of Slbuzz fame) are Twitter friends because we’re both Second Life junkies. So Second Life leads to Twitter which leads to the little Gchat plug in which leads to Firebug which lead to me having a fixed blog!

Giant hugs to my geeky community of friends!
