The image here jumps to the full width of the post page; on index pages it’s displaying like it’s supposed to
This image is aligned left and should display at 192 pixels wide with text wrapping around it. But instead it’s going haywire on the post page.
Here is some sample text to fill out the visual. So many things are happening around our city and the country that are confusing, difficult to understand and often display a certain degree of ugliness about our world. There are more people on the streets who are homeless, mass shootings, a rise in Nazi and fascist groups, the East Wing of the White House has been torn down, and ICE agents continue threatening and arresting our neighbors.
And from around the world, we’re dealing with climate change, wars in such places as Gaza and the Ukraine, and pandemics.
In times like these, how do we create and embrace beauty? How can you and I uplift the beautiful spirit that flickers in all of us, even in those darkest moments? How do we represent our better angels and bring beauty to our city by the lake? (more…)
The Soundcloud spacing issue is fixed on index pages, but if you click through to the post page the text is still tight to the embed
Text is kind of tight to the embed; needs a little space.

Not sure why the top video here is showing up as a link instead of as an embedded video, but the bottom one is an embedded video. They are both just URLs on the back end.

Weird. Weird weird weird.
Testing layout with Beaver Builder
Shit be fucked up.
Using Beaver Builder to adjust image size wrecks the margins, but going back into Text mode before saving seems to fix it.
Something is preventing images from appearing side by side
These photos should appear side by side and not on top of each other. Throughout the new site there are many examples of this, where two images are sized to fit next to each other, but they don’t on the new site.
It looks to me like the size of the images isn’t the problem, but that images that are aligned as “none” are just not appearing side-by-side like on the old site, no matter what size they are.
Example from live site:https://www.perfectduluthday.com/2017/03/02/photos-great-whiteout-2007/ The same post on the new site:

Bandcamp embeds don’t have any cushion space at the bottom; the text is right up against it.
Obviously hardcoding something in the individual post would fix it, but then that code has to be used every time.

Images taken over the span of a few minutes as dark rollers split off the main cloud bank like sideways funnel clouds, conflicting air masses in turbulence. (This kind of thing scared the heck out of me when I first moved here.) (more…)
Essentia Health campus vs. a panel from ‘Ronin’

Panel from Frank Miller’s “Ronin” as shown in the Comics Journal.
In the graphic novel Ronin, by Frank Miller, an AI named Virgo grows its organic technology over and through a dystopian New York City. As the story progresses, the city completely transforms. I wondered if I could find a photo of the expanding hospital complex that matched this comic panel.

The first Caribou Coffee opened in Edina, Minnesota, in 1992. Last December, it closed. But there are still plenty of other Caribou Coffee locations to visit. Geoguessr Challenge #12 examines some of these other locations in three separate games. The first draws from the 302 remaining Caribou Coffees in Minnesota, selecting five locations in northern Minnesota (defined as any place at or above Highway 2). (more…)

Destination Duluth, a nonprofit that shares images and stories on social media in an effort to promote the city and region, recently declared “We want winter back!” A group of photographers have contributed photos from “when we had real winters,” posted with the hashtag whenwinterwas. (more…)
PDD Geoguessr Challenge #11: Lift Bridges

As the principle symbol of Duluth, writing on the Aerial Lift Bridge often focuses on its uniqueness. Because it started as a transfer bridge, the top span makes it unusual for a lift bridge. But lift bridges themselves are not so unusual. Wikipedia lists 137 of them in the world. (more…)
