looks great Kevin – good job!

Makes me want to clean-up the house.
nah!

The pictures come from people who subscribe or if they have a wordpress blog and are logged in it uses their profile pic. If you don’t have either the monsters are now the default.

Kevin, if you actually wrote really long posts then then truncating them *might* be a better option, but they aren’t usually much longer than a few paragraphs in which case it is much more convenient to scroll.

The little pictures are Wordpress gravatars (as Jan pointed out earlier). Where did the little critters come from for the people who don’t have a Wordpress account though? (I like them much better than the default icon.)

Urgo- fixed the banner and colors. ALL BY MYSELF! I even edited a CSS sheet. Now Ize got to figure out how to turn off truncation. Man I love the little pictures. Wonder where they come from.

Nalts, maybe its just how I browse pages and you want to get some other opinions (though I see Alexis agrees too), but I rather just scroll rather then click. Another benefit is even if the top of the post/title doesn’t appeal if I see a video, a highlighted block, or something below that does look interesting you can go back and read the whole thing.

I gotta figure out how to get my banner back. Urgo… let me see if I can drop the truncate. I thought it was cool because you could decide what you wanted to read without having to scroll through a few pages of my long posts.

I agree with Urgo. It’s really annoying when the posts are cut off like that. I kind of miss having a banner too. Things are looking rather plain around here.

Woh what happened to the site? I guess I can get used to the new crayola color scheme, but please don’t do the “read the full article” thing. Absolutely hate that…… you have to click on a billion things if you miss a few days to catch up on stories instead of just reading one page and then going to page2 if they run off of the first.

Well, the change didn’t fix everything. You kept the feature that keeps marking me as a spammer.

Free turkeys!!? Where? Where?

Yeah, HD videos are jamming up Youtube. So I did my part, comrads. I started uploading my videos in the smallest, least disc space-using H264 compression settings: 448×252 at 128kbs, 24fps. Screw posterity. It’s all almost over anyway. I’ll be in jail for splittin’ my evil sister’s head open with a slingblade soon. I can feel it.
