Jason Kyrinwall. Of course, I'd love to work on the AI for that. Boundaries are somewhat established. Hmmmm....

So this one time last night, I went on a date with a man from Cleveland, and it was a really good time. Yay!

Moira,

I can't say that I like the new background color of your blog. How long will this color be in place?

No more than an hour. There's a script that changes the CSS theme regularly. Or you can click one of the little squares on the left side of the screen to choose a different theme yourself.

Different anonymous poster this time...

I always feel both amazed and old when I see the cool things people do with CSS/etc these days. Being able to change the theme just by clicking on something is way cool. I'm sure it's simple enough to do, but it's like magic to those of us who were last comfortable with HTML circa Netscape 3. ;)

Back to the color person. Great. I think you can safely remove this dark orange color from the choices so that the chance of me seeing it is zero.

Anonymous1: Actually, I hate the dark orange one, too. I've been thinking about removing it. We'll see if my dislike (and yours) of it are enough to overcome my inertia.

Anonymous2: I feel a little sheepish about the silly theme-changing buttons. Especially because the buttons aren't labeled (my rationalization was that the skin changing should be more of a hidden treat for anyone bored enough to click around). But you'd probably really like the CSS Zen Garden.

I thought the fact that the buttons were not labeled was brilliant. It's not an essential part of the design. It's more of a somewhat hidden extra. I enjoy it!
