Problems with infrastructure

[skieswideopen]

I've been playing around with importing Mixit layouts from LJ to DW following the instructions here. It's worked very well, except that for some reason I can no longer see anyone's name on my reading list. It's been kind of interesting trying to guess who said what based on the post content and icon, but I think I may have to switch back to a DW-specific layout if I can't figure out what happened.

In other, less fun, news, we discovered last week that we have raw sewage leaking into the basement. The plumber has concluded that it's probably coming from our neighbours' house--the result of a corroded pipe. Since fixing this would involve ripping out their entire kitchen, our neighbours have been understandably reluctant to admit that they're the source of the problem. After all, they don't have raw sewage in their house! We tried calling the city, but they said that they can't interfere when it's all on private property. The next step, if we can't talk the neighbours into doing the repairs, is to take them to court, which promises to be expensive and probably not terribly good for neighbourly relations. (And even better, my partner--who actually owns the house--is leaving next week for a month of travelling.)

This is the reason for the lack of names on your reading list: http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/5062.html. What I did was go into my layers, copied them into notepad and did a search for the first part: $p.view == "friends" and then in each instance changed out 'friends' for 'read' and then copy/pasted it all back into the layer and hit 'save and compile and that was it.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Omigod, it worked! Thank you SO MUCH! That fixed it right away :D

That said, I'm not sure how I feel about this Mixit layout. I miss the default reading page in LJ's S1 where it was just a plain white background.

Glad to be of help. :D
