Updated my blog's CSS so that <code> segments don't look like garbage.

The problem is that the way the theme is set up, it doesn't differentiate between in-line code snippets (defaulting to a white background) and code blocks, and the default code block color is very dark, and the default code color is also kind of dark, and it was miserable to see, before.

I started off picking IBM 3270 colors from cool-retro-term, but the default foreground color was too bright for in-line code blocks, so instead I picked an almost-black super-dark green for the foreground color, and a very light green for the background color. So hopefully it's vaguely reminiscent of a green-screen, but light instead of dark, and hopefully doesn't look like... key lime pie, which is what I think it looks like, but oh well. XD

Another lightweight post, which got prematurely posted [here], hilariously enough. ;)

Holy crap, I did it again. I typed "tootme" instead of "blogme" and then wondered where the heck my blog post went. 🤦‍♂️

At least the mystery of how my blog post completely disappeared despite the number of failsafes I put into my script is solved!!! 🤣

Blog post incoming! XD

Much lighter post today. If you were looking for a salve from yesterday's blost onslaught, today is your day!
