Behold the power of a macro lens at the beach in Maine: kelp and slime.
Rejiggered the colors a bit. I’m sure you care deeply. It should still be legible in most browsers; I’m sure the colors are not what you’d call websafe, but they’re still shades of grey. I played with green for a bit but it was too bilious even for me.
Webheads note that when setting a background-image property on a div, there is no “size=100%.” In other words, you just have to use an image as large as you feasibly can, so it won’t end early even for people reading fullscreen on big monitors. Note to those of you who open my page more than fourteen hundred pixels wide: can I have your monitor?
I thought of editing the links list a little more but for now I’ll leave it as is. It’s always touchy. I try to just keep the ones I really do read a lot, because I can’t fit everyone I know in there and I don’t want to be rude about it. Still, it hurts to be excluded or delisted, even if it’s because your page doesn’t fit into the list of “comics” or “economics” or “worth reading.”
