Re: this guestbook entry:
Hey, i was just surfing the net when i found something in your blog that really disturbed me. I found a link to a page and under it, you said, "go there, everything you shouldn't put on a website". First off, i thought it was mean to say something like that, secondly, i visited the site, and it's not bad at all. In fact, there's much more interesting content than on yours. You shouldn't chastise a site just because you don't agree on what makes a good site.

I assume you're talking about this post?
Well, next time, before jumping at me like that, do yourself a favor and check the date of the post. See? May 17. It's September 20 today. Four months have passed since I said that site was shit. And it was shit, at the time. Animated .gif backgrounds that moved so fast that they hurt your eyes, bad navigation, broken links... you name it, it had it.
But in four months, a site can change. And this one did. Some parts of it (imnsho) are still bad, but some are better.
For starters, it now has a layout which doesn't kill your eyes. (Though the layout uses iframes, which makes it impossible to navigate for people with older browsers, which for me is a bad thing.)
She moved off expage, which is good.. but not completely, which is bad.
I still find the content pretty shallow, and more or less the same content that is found on hundreds and hundreds of "teenie" personal sites. On the other hand, maybe you don't find the content on my site interesting, but at least I try to be original.
But that's my personal opinion, you're free to disagree with me. As I'm free to have my own opinion.
