Oh-kay. While I’m still sorting out the comments part (especially the comment form — I mean, come on, are you really sure you can put long sentences in that thing, without getting outside the big ol’ box?), I’m going to put a placeholder here first — this blog entry, so you’d know that I’m still here, and that the design isn’t finished as a whole yet.
Kinda off the topic here, but why do some people put ellipses as their status messages. No text, just the pure three dots. I find them quite irritating to say the least. If I were to figure out what the ellipsis would mean in a status message, I’d say that it’s kinda like the “Buffering” or “Loading” things you get in videos. But look, humans are capable of thinking with a snap of a finger; it doesn’t take three freaking dots to think about what your status is. If it does for you, then you sir, are too damn slow. I’m already mentally slow, and that only means you are even slower, which is about insane.
Next time, use a dash instead, or ever better, don’t use the status message as your loading indicator.
