The Ravings of Demented Rabbits

Hire a maid.

Also, to the unfortunate readers of this blog, I just want to express that I was vehemently against this color scheme continuing its terrifying existence. However, my hand was forced, and I can not be held responsible for any mental or physical damage it may incur upon your person or persons.

Pray that we come up with a tachikoma theme quickly. Pray hard. If you're an atheist, send money.

Why hire a maid when you can enslave naked mole rats to do your bidding?

At the risk of being stylishly challenged, I happen to like the greenness of the place. It's unique.

I vote for uniqueness as well. Don't you have minions for the dishes Dwip? I used to, they were called privates. We did apreciate the link. We find this new layout a tad busy tough with the three columns and the two gray borders...

This place is way too small to fit minions, alas. Even squirrel ones.

It IS a busy layout. Much of that is unavoidable, considering the amount of sidebar links along with the sheer size of my archives. I think what would really make me happy is some sort of dropdown or the like, but alas.

We continue to ponder this issue.

You probably run your monitor all bright like the rest of these whackos, Samson. For normal people that don't like a bland, washed-out screen, it's all fairly dark.

I wonder - would it be possible to code a "hidden links" form of archives/sidebar links? All you would see are hyperlinks to 2000, 2001, 2002, etc... click on the year and then the monthly archives would show up as indented hyperlinks underneath it. You know how the help files for computer programs often are, the "index/contents/search" kinds? I'm thinking like the "contents" tab - all that show up are the main categories, but then when you click on one you get a list of all the topics within that category underneath. Click on the category again and the sub-topics go away.

...I THINK that makes sense, but then again I'm high on meds, so who knows?

Also, three columns might also work better if you put the blog part in the middle instead of on the far left. As it is, the center of the attention of the screen is your outside links.

Some kind of dropdown or smaller list is what I'd like, to be honest. I just don't know a good way to go about it with the way HTML works and the way MT works. Which left either giving it another column, or keeping it how it was, which was taking over the page. OTOH, this way DOES look cluttered.

Messing around with different stylesheet stuff to see if it helps any. Making post dates more like they used to be seems to be helping, at least for me.

Not sure about modifying this three column layout. It would seem to make the navigation really...hectic to me. But you may be right.

Next, we'll do your blog, too! :P

The expansion tree type layout is possible with XHTML and whatnot, however, due to the way MT works, and the database, I have no idea how to do it.

And let's be honest, it's a freakin' blog, not a handicap access website.

It will look better when it gets a decent theme. That's all I'm saying.

I installed that module on the server. So whoever knows Perl can go the rest of the way :)

And Whir, no, actually I keep my monitor somewhat subdued. I despise brightness. I'm still old school CRT here so his colors look perfectly fine to me.
