An interesting read but I&#8217;ve <!--permalink:298:raged--> about item 2 in the past: using a photo. I understand that people want to see faces, but who wants to see my mug? I don&#8217;t! How shocking would it be if I posted my photo and you&#8217;d see that <!--permalink:360:I'm actually male-->?<\/p>\n<p>I am, however, going to implement some of the enhancement ideas. When I was designing this site, I didn&#8217;t find a good colour for visited links (I did notice that some of the links, in blog content, lose underlining after a visit) so I forgot about it (accidentally!). Also I&#8217;m going to <em>try<\/em> and list some of the &#8220;must-read&#8221; entries but I&#8217;m afraid I might not find any (This is a blog for dog&#8217;s sake! Not a magazine. Why do people take blogs so seriously? It&#8217;s supposed to be fun, not 2nd or <code>n<\/code>th job (for most)). I did have a category for these, something like Minna&#8217;s picks, but apparently I removed it at some point (or it doesn&#8217;t have any posts!).<br \/>\n(There&#8217;s a list in the <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/\">archives<\/a> now.)<\/p>\n<p>Jafer woke me up from my work-daze. In addition to not having written in over half a month (I honestly don&#8217;t know how that&#8217;s possible), I haven&#8217;t finished a book since July! (I&#8217;ll need to check my papery booklog, but the one here says July.)<\/p>\n<p>I had hard time not laughing today. A group of people were talking and roaring with laughter (at work, of course) and I was sitting at my desk. Because I wasn&#8217;t in the group I couldn&#8217;t laugh along but I kept bursting so I had to leave for a while to cool off. I went and washed my coffee mug.
