works for me. nice site!

Alex —
Thanks for all the awesome wordpress stuff!
Question: Is there a way to have site visitors choose a style from a static html document which then sets a cookie that will use the styleswitcher function?

thanks guys, i’ll try editing the index.php and see if it works that way.

So I get to be high and mighty AND an anti-critic? YippieHorray!

ah… where to start?
it annoys me to no avail when people complain about others’ creative work and then have horrendous sites themselves. there are several cliche terms i can think of– beauty is in the eye of the beholder… hello pot? kettle? etc, etc. nothing is going to appeal to everyone’s “astute” design sense and there’s no such thing as original design; everyone copies everyone else’s sites. Either in the basic concept, the images, or the outright site itself. if the site appeals to the creator, who the fuck cares if some little punk raver likes it? more often than not, design (if they know what they’re doing) reveals more about the author than the blog itself.
with that being said, i feel like addressing some things–
podz — they’re called “badges” and personally i’d rather see them than a hundred different sized images links with no color unity. i hate header images that take up a 3rd of the page and forces me to scroll to actually get to the content.
mpt — oh.. yay. basically, you don’t like anything creative or interesting. that’s very evident from the lackluster design of YOUR site. blue header, a cliche site title, and boring font selection throughout the site. and speaking of “as if we care”, how ’bout post word-counts? do i really care if a post has 151 words? and you should make up your mind, either you want comments to open in a new window or you want them to open in the same window, you can’t have any other option sweetie.
willm — where’s your site? i believe that anyone offering criticism of other’s work should at least have the balls to put theirs on the chopping block too.
anonymous post #18 — its literary allusions, not illusions.
mage111 — again, where’s your site?
skippy — lists of links are usually friends’ sites, or sites the author likes. so if you’re reading the author’s daily journal, then you seem to have some interest in them… or at least what they’re saying. so i’d think that you’d learn even more about the person by visiting their friends’ sites. actually, all of your comments are just plain dumb. previous posts by date… if you’re a regular visitor to the site, and remember you didn’t get to look at the site for two weeks, then the calendar, previous posts by date, post frequency, most popular posts… are useful tools. i doubt very seriously that you use the telnet feature built into windows, but its there just in case you might. actually, by looking at your site, i’d bet you probably use your own homespun version of linux, because everyone who’s remotely intelliget knows that microsoft spies on us.
so there… i’m finished, and i feel better. You can check out my site if you’d like and bitch all you want about too much blue, the pixel people, and all lower case menu. i’ve been using wordpress for about two weeks and am just now learning css and the like. i use some popups, and i haven’t implemented the style-switcher yet. but at least it follows good design principle.
