Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

What things are especially common and especially annoying in terms of color, layout, etc.?

Tiny font. I grow weary of having to copy and paste a story into Word in order to read it.

Also, I understand that people want to protect their story or images but disabling the right click just irritates me. Plus it doesn't accomplish anything except that it makes me think you're silly.

Always Anti-fascist!

Those animated thingies... really ornate fonts and typefaces that look beautiful to you, but really are more "olde-tyme" than legible.

Oh! Animated cursors!

I'm not a fan of trying to navigate with a shimmering mass of stars, thanks.

Actually, I hate frames, period.

As do I. I've been meaning to figure out a different way to code Polyamorous to get away from them.

Hmm. Hmm. Maybe with some SSI I can... t brain wanders off into the land of code

Oh! Animated cursors!

I'm so with Kristen on this. Animated cursors make the baby Jesus cry.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

As do I. I've been meaning to figure out a different way to code Polyamorous to get away from them.

Off the top of my head, wouldn't be too hard.

Hmm.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Hmm. Many good ideas (and examples of spectacularly bad ones) here...

I agree that animated cursors are of the Devil.

Te's site is fabulous. I love the dandelion motif.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Me too. Except I always think I'm supposed to click on the dandelion instead of the text - or the other way round, I forget - and get all confused. But maybe that's just me.

Oh, I know, but the sticking point has been, thus far, that there are a lot of preexisting links to the site, and therefore I must go about a redesign without breaking those links. Because I'm conscientious like that.

And also, kind of spread thin and thus not too speedy with the coding overhauls these days.

Oh, yeah. That's totally understandable. If I have thoughts, I'll send 'em your way.
