Use CSS folds
/me too hates folded blogs. It’s like “I’d like to know that I’ve blogged, but I don’t want you to actually read it”… rant
Now for some constructive things:
Add “max-height: 30em; overflow: auto
” to the CSS file, and overly
long entries (such as Enricos recent posts) will not take over planet as much.
(Pick an appropriate 30em). Untested for vertical limits; I’ve however been
using this for clipping overly wide <pre/>
sections before.
With next to no drawbacks to the readers that is. Folds suck. But if you are actually using a web browser to read planet, you’ll be able to use the scroll bars I guess. Otherwise contribute a Javascript to un-limit the blog postings size. Should be a one-liner.
[Updated: overflow auto is better, since otherwise you’d always have scroll bars. Also increased to 30em. Thanks Daniel Silverstone for testing. See his blog entry on how to do this client-side with mozilla based browsers]
