There is a significant difference in the color displayed between my notebook’s LCD screen and my CRT at work. <\/p>\n
On the notebook, this page is a pale beige, almost (at some angles) vanishing in its subtle color. At work, it’s buttermilk colored. I get what Doyce says about “almost too yellow.”<\/p>\n
On the notebook, the big banner at the top is quiet — colorful, but in a violets-and-peonies sort of way. At work, it’s vivid to the point of garishness.<\/p>\n
Guess which platform, of course, I’m usually able to break away time on to do design updates here.<\/p>\n
And then there are comments. I never fail to be amazed by:<\/p>\n
a. How few there are, vs. the number of visitors I get. Either my posts instill a general sense of ennui, or else are so well crafted that nobody has anything else to say.<\/p>\n
b. Which posts get them. I’ll write a long, fiery sermon on something or another (e.g., the Ten Commandments thing below). Zero. Nada. Zilch. Dead silence. I’ll drop off a bon mot about something in passing, and, whoosh, folks write about it.<\/p>\n
Weird.<\/p>\n
Not necessarily a complaint, mind you — y’all are the audience, not under obligation to participate. Just a curiosity. The audience is under no obligation to cheer (or boo), but sometimes, tappity-tapping my way across stage, the sound of crickets gets awfully loud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
