Transforming cats into robots since 1989!

Kinda eh, but I'm not really sure what else I could do with this.

I kind of wanted to do a Puella Magi Madoka★Magica layout, but decided to go with Yumekui Merry instead.

And now, for some dummy text.

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish.

In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains. But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because[...]

The font size seems a little large? Though maybe it's just my set-up being weird...

It only looks big due to it being a lot longer of a post.

erm...
in ./layouts/css/lain_jul_yumekuimerry.css:
09: .lain-layout-merryn022011 

10: { font: 14pt/1.6 Candara, "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;
11: color: #FFFFFF; }


Edit: Changed it to 12pt. Better?

I know. :p I'll keep an eye on Pixiv for any good BlackRose art and then maybe I might put something together.

But for now, a midriff-exposing, donut-and-dream-eating demon is fine too.

Who says your layout has to match your username :smugdra:

I like it. The colors really mesh well together. It seems a little tall, but I haven't seen a short post yet to see what it would be like at minimum height. Maybe reduce the space after the post by 100px or so?

The new 12pt font size looks a lot better, IMO... I like the layout overall.

Indeed.

My post above and this one would be at minimum height. I updated the first post so then the image itself can be seen in full. Also, thanks.

You could still use a background behind Merry~

How about this:

I'll take a look at it tonight. (gotta get rid of the white background on Merry's pic though.)

needs a tiny bit of clean up. But that's most of the white.

It's cute and fun to look at, but it puts a real strain on my computer to scroll past it.

I fixed it up some a couple of days ago (removed the dropshadow on the box and made the content area smaller)

Better?
