Mountain Songs - Buddha Oil Lamp

"Vast vast void, a fitfull lantern,
Gaze enchanted, muddy mist morphs pellucid.
Flame burns out, smoke cut loose from its source,
All night by railing, chatting with a monk."

Blogger Update Breaks Page Element Layout Editor

"So how are you supposed to edit your sidebar page elements if you can’t even get to the “edit” link on each one? Well, luckily I discovered a workaround which will allow you to get to each buried page element. The template window is actually an iframe which means it’s a window within a window. Knowing this, you are able to scroll within this window even though the scrollbar is not physically visible.

Just click anywhere within the template window and hold down your mouse button. Keeping your mouse button held down, move your mouse as far right as you can. If you do it correctly, you’ll notice it moves the template window to the right and you can now see your “edit” links."
