The site was slow, so I messed with some stuff and made it faster.

Also, I felt like giving Htmlgiant an animated glitter star background, so I gave Htmlgiant an animated glitter star background.

Enjoy this special enhancement!

UPDATE: Removed the animation. :(

      The star gif makes me feel like htmlgiant just got real fancy so I will be blogging in sequins & feathers from here on out.

      I hate to be That Guy but did this totally fuck the fonts for everyone else, they’re like smaller or something and they look serif’d until I zoom in.  Also the star background thing only works when I switch to Internet Explorer vs. Chrome.  I dunno…  sorry

      Chrome glitters for me, posititbreakup. 

      The fonts look weird to me too. But it may just be because they are different and I’m not used to the change.

      I haven’t had time to properly test the site changes in Windows. The site was virtually unusable yesterday and wasn’t loading comments, so any bugs you’ve got are better than no site.

      You don’t have to be sorry. People use a lot of different computers, so different things happen.

      I only hope that when GUEST inevitably picks a fight with you in this thread, s/he refers to you as Glitler.

      The new star glitter background is very MySpace, circa 2006. Very Star 80.

      Quite honestly, and being an avid reader of this site, the stars are extremely distracting and produce a headache in the peripherals. This is out of full candor. I don’t think I’ll be able to read any article on here with these glittering stars. And that’s a shame.

      You’re the reason we can’t have nice things, Alex. 

      I made it boring for you.

  22. Alex

      Gene, I appreciate the gesture and wasn’t trying to be cold about it. After all, I’m probably in the minority here and you shouldn’t have to alter the new additions because someone like me gets headaches all the time. I should just avoid the internet if I am to begin complaining about eyes and visuals. Thanks anyway.

      It’s cool. I like the background fine without he animation, and can flip the switch to “magic” whenever I want to. It’s probably for the best that it’s not on all of the time.

      I agree with you that the constant twinkle is a distraction, which is why I stopped it. I was just giving you shit.

      Please don’t avoid the internet.

  24. Alex

      Impossible to avoid giants Gene, happy to remain here.
