As my regular readers know by now, I love cartoons. Occasionally, however, one of the cartoons does something wonky; today, the DuJour cartoon started asking for a password. This has happened before with Toy Trunk Railroad, which I simply eliminated until it started behaving normally again. When something like this happens to a single panel cartoon like DuJour, though, I can't simply eliminate it. My blog is set up so that if I have an extremely short post like this one, the single panel cartoons fill up the space in the center column, thus preventing the wide strips at the bottom from overrunning the stuff in the right sidebar. So, if I eliminate a single-panel cartoon, I have to replace it with something else.
I have been bugging fellow Red Ensign blogger Blair Hansen of Italics Mine to publish his cartoon in a regularly-updating format. He's hilarious - go check out his archives. Anyhow, Blair hasn't taken up that challenge yet, but he has allowed me to publish his cartoon here. So, that's what I have done; scroll down to see the latest Italics Mine cartoon.
Rather than make Blair do all the work in publishing his cartoon, here's what I'm doing: as he publishes a new cartoon, I copy it to my Photobucket account and rename it. Then a short section of html code publishes his latest cartoon on my blog. If anyone else wants to publish the Italics Mine cartoon on their own blog, here is the necessary html code:
I used the width of 400 pixels because it works well for my blog, but Blair typically publishes his cartoon more than 700 pixels wide. Just adjust the width="400" statement to give a width in pixels appropriate to your own blog.
