More weird people

Been surfing the "random users" feature for a few minutes, trying to find ideas for new LJ Styles (rather unproductive at that task). There are a surprising number of folks that have journals with absolutely NO public entries. Um, why bother? Just use email or something. :-)

More LJ oddities

OK, so why would you make a style for your main LJ page where you set the table width to 150 pixels? Yeah, 10 characters per line is nifty. It's almost like trying to read a pager for 20 minutes at a time. Holy hand grenade, Batman! Although, this particular person did at least have his fonts set to a relative size, but that just meant that the reader could make the line hold 15 REALLY TINY characters, or 4 HUGE ones. Still doesn't help you read that ribbon of text.

And, no, this was not an artistic statement. Or, if it was, it was just annoying.

Am I in a pissy mood tonight or what?

One more bitch and I'm done for the night

Honestly, this will be my last complaint about peculiar online choices tonight.

Red and Yellow do not make a good, eye-soothing, web design. If your intent is to look like the Oscar Meyer hotdog wrapper, congratulations. If your main desire was to entice people to actually view your site, sorry but you missed the mark.

Let's go back to elementary school here and think of complementary colors, shall we? Yellow and Red aren't. Red and Green are decent, although kinda Christmasy. Yellow and Purple are an acceptable combination as well.

Or, you could just look around and copy a webpage you like. If you like Oscar Meyer, then fine -- stick with your red-on-yellow monstrosity. Just don't be surprised at only getting visitors who are hankering for some processed meat by-product. :-)
