Inside Darren

Just wanted to send out a quick note of apology for certain wacky crap that’s been going on with this site.

After spending some time exploring my own website, I’ve learned of the following problems:

1. When viewed with Internet Explorer, the picture of Larissa in this post is GIGANTIC. For those users not seeing the post properly with Firefox, I’m sorry. That’s a lot of Larissa for one post. Updated October 30th: Fixed!!!

2. As I mentioned in this post, those using Internet Explorer will also not see the menus at the right hand side properly. I’ve tried to fix this problem in the coding of this site, but I haven’t figured it out yet, since I’m only an “Aspiring Uber-Geek”, and I think you need at least “Super Geek” or “Geek: First Class” standing in order to fix this stuff. Updated October 31st: Semi-fixed! IE users will now see the menus, but the menu boxes are different sizes. Still working on this.

3. The “most popular posts” menu on the right hand side seems to link to one random post, no matter which link you click on in that menu. On top of this, I have no idea how the website decides what the most popular posts are, since most of them all appear on the same page. I assure you, one day I shall fulfill my dream of having “functional popularity”. Updated October 31st: Fixed! Took this piece of the code right out of the site!

4. The first paragraph of text in this post is not supposed to be enlarged or emboldened. This effect is the residual result of trying to make the Elmo picture appear on the page properly. After 2 hours of screwing with the code, I gave up and left it as it looks now. Everyone knows that you have to make some sacrifices if you want Elmo to behave.

5. The “Next Page” link at the bottom of the homepage is completely useless, inoperative, and non-functional. As was my brain’s redundancy filter when writing that last sentence. If you want to see posts that have gone off the bottom of the site, you’ll have to use the “Archives” or “Most Recent Posts” links on the side menu. Thankfully, these links still work.

If you come to this site one day, and all you see is the word “fuck” in gigantic letters, you’ll know that my frustration has finally peaked, and I’ve moved on to other passtimes, like oh… let’s say… Nerf sports.
