I've found my purpose
Jul. 25th, 2005 11:16 amIt was last year that yemminie made me appreciate the satisfying chunkiness of pound coins. Come to think of it, I appreciate that we have them at all - American dollar coins are so rare that people tend to hang on to them rather than spend them and get a pile of unmanageable notes. With the exception of quarters, change seems to be largely useless in America. I only mention this because I found Jamie's pencil case yesterday and it had no less than 24 pound coins in it, making it look like a miniature treasure chest.
I have finally found the purpose of my existence for the summer - after numerous false starts at MMF projects I've decided to put together the site about my songs that people have been requesting. Already I've been teaching myself about frames and stylesheets all over again, because I was taught about them in first year and never actually touched them again. I've now come up with something that I think is passable as a pretty decent site style, although I'm not sure how the green on black colour scheme will look to anyone who isn't colourblind.
It's true that I feel slightly self-important and pretentious doing it, but two separate people suggested the idea, and I think that that shows at least some interest. Releasing anything on the Internet is like talking to a brick wall because the majority of people don't give feedback on things (something I've been guilty of myself because I feel that I can never find the right words). At my estimation I have around a thousand regular downloaders, and only five or six of them at a maximum leave comments.
There is something that I'm not sure of, and it might be difficult to imagine without seeing it, but still: I have a vertical navigation menu on the left hand side of the screen, and when some sections are opened up I open a sub-menu for navigating that section. I can either put the sub-menu on the right side of the screen (as I had it originally - I felt that the scrollbar on the central main frame looked out of place this way) or just on the right of the menu, as an extension to it, leaving the main frame on the right. Which is more agreeable?
While I'm on the subject, Whitney said that I should change my livejournal style. Apparently, a selection of light blues isn't heavy metal enough.
