Hi there,
I may not exactly belong here … but here i am anyway!
I am doing a written review for my year 11 Literature class on So Yesterday (as my own personal choice)
I thought i was a fantastic novel…
I may be exposing my ignorance here … but i really dont mind at all
i was wondering if someone could help me… my Literature teacher wants to know .. *clears throat*
* Does your book have something important to say about life? Is it concerned with serious issues, such as racism, tolerance,
relationships and so on? If so, what?
I guess it does … well .. Hunter and Jen’s relationship …
oh i dont know
just ignore me !

Cheers
Jess

Lovely post on one of my favourite writers (and not just because we’re married, honest). Have you seen the little So Yesterday photo blog we put together:

Thanks for replying. Im still a bit unsure about how to do this…a bit of a newbie at code. Is there anyway you could send me a copy of your plugin to see how you did it. That way I can probably figure it out?

Alistair:

You can control the style of stuff in the wishlist plugin by defining the styles it uses in your CSS. If you look at the source for the plugin, there is a comment that lists all the style the plugin uses. It looks like this:

//Style Information
/*
Note that styles can be defined for the following div ids:
amazon_wishlist — parent div
amazon_wishlist_header — holds header label
amazon_wishlist_body — holds body information

and for the following classes:
amazon_wishlist_title
amazon_wishlist_url
amazon_wishlist_author
amazon_wishlist_artist
amazon_wishlist_image
amazon_wishlist_price
amazon_wishlist_link
*/

One other note: the current version of the plugin doesn’t generate valid XHTML. I’ve sent a note to Darryl on this, and manually corrected my copy of the plugin until he updates the next release with my fixes.

Hello there,
Sorry about this but I noticed you have the amazon wishlist plugin. I was wondering how you got it to be the same font as the rest of your site? When I activate it in mine it is totally different!

Speaking of the odd little history, I can’t believe I didn’t mention the bit about the history of purple–that was awesome.

I couldn’t agree more. And I also love how much of New York and odd little history — stuff Scott’s interested in — is crammed into the book. And now I can lean heavily on your review when I do mine. Ha!
