Santa picture of the day

By TigerHawk at 12/21/2007 12:15:00 PM

Around 80% of my readers will enjoy this "Santa" picture. Apologies to the other 20%, with the usual "it's Friday" defense.

Oh, and there are interesting links, too.

"Apologies to the other 20%"

You forgot that half of them might very well like the picture -- if ya know what I mean.

Better make that "10%".

BTW, are you aware that you just linked to a site that has a link to a porno site on it? As a Pajamas Media correspondent, don't you have rules about such things? In case you haven't noticed, Theo has gone from r-rated to x-rated over the past month in his childish tantrum over the Google warning. His language has also gone further into the gutter.

I gave the characters over at Maggie's the same warning. At least you, being a standard raving arch-neocon warmongerer, have an excuse. Maggie's is supposed to be a wholesome Christian site. If they link to Theo's again, in the state its in, they've made a mockery of their entire existence.

I have such a pleasant way of phrasing things. :)

Also BTW, are you aware there's something goofed up on your web page? Using a standard 1024-wide monitor and Internet Exploder, everything below the "Bookmark TigerHawk!" is missing until after the end of the main body of text.

It looks okay in Firefox, which isn't surprising, given that Google (and thus Googleblogs) are in bed with Mozilla. But I gather you'd like more than 5% of the browsing public to see your site correctly. It's probably that big picture of the bird that's messing things up, the way that ultra-wide Yahoo! picture messed things up last month. You really need to find the max width you can use for pics and stick to it. If you need lessons or programs regarding graphics, email me.

And one more BTW: You know that Fred! video that you linked to? My thought at the end of it was, "If I vote for the guy, will I NOT have to listen to such crappy music ever again?" Jesus, God, what a turnoff! If you're gonna do grunge, boys, do it right!

Thanks for all the useful pointers, Dr. Merc. On the web page question, I am surprised about its presentation on Explorer -- I am running Explorer, and it looks fine. Anybody else with problems?

TH - I'm running IE and I think Doc M. might be onto something. All of your blog links, archives etc are pushed way down the right side margin.

I resized the blue heron post -- is the page formatting properly now for you guys?

And I'm standing right next to you, gringo.

Yep, it looks fine now. And Santa's little helper ain't too bad either. Thanks.
