Interesting comments from the Pope

Especially interesting are his comments on the Synod document, which he says will be signed soon, being a diocesan bishop besides being Pope, and on prayer.

Catholic Blog Awards

The Catholic Blog Awards have been announced. I registered, but didn't vote. The huge list of nominees (many of whom I wasn't familiar with) was just too daunting. But it looks like every single one of the categories is topped by an excellent winner.

Perhaps the one exception is "priest blog". I love WDTPRS, but they're are just so many good possibilities.

Sensible advice from "Dear Prudence"

To ease your burden of coming up with a theme for each of your "at least" five baby showers, cancel at least four of them.

OK, Steve wins the prize...

At the top of each of your posts is an empty div tag. Inside that tag is a style attribute with a clear: both rule.

That is what is causing the problem.

Turns out that in Blogger under Settings --> Formatting there is a setting for "Enable float alignment".

That setting "Allows image and text alignment options using the <div clear:both> tag. (Choose "No" if you are having post layout problems.)"

It was turned on, now it's turned off and things work right again.

Thanks, Steve.
