On the Buffistamerica map, is it possible to have different colors for the more, um, fanciful pins?

done

Gus, please delete "bruce" for me. He was the mechanical shark in "Jaws," so I put him just off the coast of Long Island. However, someone else has put in a "Jaws" marker, so no need for the duplication.

got him!

Ha! I thought that's what "you" (not that I knew it was you, specifically) meant.

Also, uh, Gus, what happened to the map? It has little question mark bubbles for some points, and all of the alt tags are now "."

Question bubbles: DCJ requested some difference between the serious and the not-so-serious pins. It made sense to me, as some folks just want to see where the Buffistas are, without sifting through all the "gotchas!". I think it is still fun, checking out the mystery spots, moreso since now I know they are supposed to be something cool.

I was going through and making the thing W3C compliant, which means that all images need an "alt" defined. Evidently, IE will only show the "alt" if both a "title" and an "alt" are defined. So, I ripped all the alts out, and people's names are back. The W3C and Microsoft can take a leap at each other.

When I get done with some real stuff, like maps for the rest of the world, I'll go back and move all those titles to alts.

I just have to wonder: Is "waldo" a real user? Or is that just a "Where's Waldo" reference? (if so, he should probably be made a question mark).

Either way, it's interesting that waldo is in Mississippi, a very few miles north of my hometown (in my home county!)

Heh. Yeah, I guess Gus is going to have to sift through the pins himself and change the ones that are special, like "Hellmouth" and "Lake Woebegone."

Yeah I wondered about Waldo, too. One way or the other, I fixed him!

Unless, of course, there were a radio button to select "real icon" or "fanciful icon" when you put in the name.
