Finally managed to fix a blog bug

I always was disturbed by the appearance of single blog entry in this site that the body text was always shifted all the way down the page, that when one clicks an entry from a list of blog entries, one would not recognize that the text is actually there (I know by myself so it was no problem but for others…).

So after a year of using Dokuwiki, I finally decided to debug it. Since I am not a web programmer and not knowing how php is working, I used Firefox add-on called Firebug. Great convinient feature of this developer tool is that you could live-update CSS to see what will happen to the page. Especially, you could turn on and off specific attribute just by clicking.

This made me a way through complex Dokuwiki system to find out what was causing the body text shift-down problem. The part I edited was actually only a line in style.css line 238, attribute “clear both;”.
