Asterix's Top Blogs

This page has the blogs that I read. Just for fun, they are ranked in the order I like them:

Dilbert Blog
Scott Adams speaks his mind. Occasionally he will throw out a controversial topic and let people squirm over it. His wriitng style is very simple, powerful and funny.

Rory
Usually very funny. He will say the most unexpected things. I don't know how girls date him, considering not only he will put their pics on his blog, he would actually go in some detail about it. Makes for good reading anyway.

Kathy Sierra
A must read. Well thought out. More often than not you will find yourself agreeing with her. Don't forget to read her: How to be an expert

Tom Kyte
Blog from one of the top Database guys. Although this Blog itself has not a whole lot on database. Usually has good links and tid-bits. Keep checking often.

Anonymous Lawyer
Funny. A blog about a hiring partner at a big law firm. This blog has been made into a book. Read it.

Updates soon ....

Setting Blogger template

I have had trouble with the blogger template. I use the "Minima" model, and the profile view was coming after the blog, making it a really long page. I saw that Tom Kyte uses the same model, so I shamelessly copied his template style (Thanks Tom).

However, even after copying, the blog was not looking right. So, here is what I did:
I copied the source as text file and adjusted the width of main under /* content*/ . I changed it from 609 to 605. It works fine now.

Note that, mozilla does render the page OK.
