Hello, Wordpress 2.5!

The first thing I noticed when I sat down to write this post was that the post slug box has been replaced by this new edit permalink function below the post title:

I like this a lot because I’m obsessive about my post slugs, but I always forgot to change the default slug when the box was in the sidebar. Now it’s in a much more accessible location.

Fixing Backgrounds that Don’t Extend to the Bottom: Part I

The problem with non-extending backgrounds shows up when the floating box is longer than the non-floating box. When you float a box, it stops taking up floor space inside the container box. The height of the container box expands and contracts to provide just enough floor space for the boxes inside. So when you float a box for the sidebar, the container box contracts to the height of the non-floating box, taking the background with it:

A web page with a floating sidebar taller than the main content.
