Do me a favor?

Posted on March 18, 2006.

If you haven't commented in a long time (or never) please do me a favor and de-lurk so I can be sure that I'm not blogging to the wall here. If you are not sure what to write about, here's a topic: what suggestions do you have for this design? What do you like most, and what do you not like?

   Well, not sure I need to comment on the blog design, but I've found myself at your blog several times after following links, or comments I've seen you make (most recent your post on liquid faux columns), so tonight you get fed to Gregarius I'll try not to be a lurker.

   miklb: Gregarius looks interesting. Do you use it? As of now I just use Gmail clips

   I am no lurker either But, don't depair I have the same problems on my own blog…. you could always comment on there As for the design I think you have branded yourself effectively. Keep on plugging, way I see it is that there is always a reason so don't give up.

   Would be great if I could do a proper link to my site… arse just realised it wasn't right. I need some sleep me thinks.

7. C Montoya on March 19, 2006

   karmatosed: yes I'm working on keeping up with other blogs more. I hadn't before because I was so busy with schoolwork and I will probably be busy again after spring break, but we'll see if I can at least comment regularly at a few blogs (including yours).

8. Phil Renaud on March 20, 2006

   I'm still a regular, I hope

   Anwyay, the design is revamp is looking great! Can't go wrong with a dark background and multiple bright colours. Am I right? eh? eh?

   you' re not blogging to the wall bro' :D.

   i like the design ! looks original and really clear, good structures and color choices, no mistakes in here :).

    Half Lurker, Half regular reader.
    I like the new "Life Preview" when we write our comments - Are you able to proviide information on how the code for this works, or where I can read more about this technique?
    There are few sites achiieving online-live-redesign as good as you are.

11. C Montoya on March 21, 2006

    Thanks for the comments everyone!

    Phil: You would know

    slh: Here's the link to the live comment preview plugin. It's for Wordpress blogs, but if you know Javascript you might be able to get it to work with other platforms (or maybe there is already a plugin for blogspot).

14. Doug Isom on March 23, 2006

    I guess I am somewhat of a lurker (though not a perv!), though I do read on a semi-regular basis.

15. Sally Carson on April 4, 2006
