Step 5: The variably wide buttons were a problem. The elasticity was not a firm requirement, so I made a 100-pixel wide parallelogram and set it as the background where I needed buttons. At the time this snap was taken, there remained an alignment problem with the button text, but that was later resolved. I was not happy with the post tops I had previously tried, so I implemented a new version. This one incorporated the post date and a triangle for the permalink. Also, the slants in it were parallel with those in the buttons. That consistency appealed to me. The other new feature with this iteration was the inclusion of a Search field. It works well in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Safari 2, however, insists on drawing the borders for the text field.
