Installed the Now Reading plugin. Looks OK in IE but looks horrible in Firefox — somehow or another it’s caused the theme footer to appear up near the top of the page. *sigh* Yet another thing I’ll have to either fix or disable. ‘Bout time I learned PHP, I suppose.
[Edited to add: Woohoo! Managed to get it fixed in Firefox. The plugin creator's help page on the subject wasn't really all that helpful, but playing around with the code finally did the trick -- trying to visualize PHP output when you (a) don't really know PHP and (b) can't see anything until you've uploaded it to a server is tough so I just kept tweaking and uploading, tweaking and uploading, and finally sorted through the logic of it after seeing what some of the changes did. So, no having to haul out the PHP manual that's on my bookshelf. That calls for a nap -- it's almost 8am and I haven't been to bed yet.]

Hi, so how did you sort the now reading plugin? I’m thinking of using it myself.
I got here through your link left on the creators site.
Cheers
I’ll have to dig through the code when I get a chance and let you know. Unfortunately, upgrading to WordPress 2.7 has broken the plug in so I’ve disabled it until I can sort out what’s going on. Once I’ve done that, I’ll get back to you about the visual fixes.
