Boxes and Arrows - Beauty is Only Screen Deep (Sarah Horton)

It used to be that we thought we needed to pretty up the web so people would use it. Those days are long gone. Today's web user is after a meaningful experience, not just a good time, and has little need for adornments. Maybe it's because we've grown up some: the technology, and those who use it. I can now see that the beauty of the web lies in its function, not its form, and I would rather that my sites attract attention because they are widely useful and usable than because they are pretty.

Ugh. Turns out that whoever made the weblink module hardcoded a limit of 60 characters for the input field where I pasted the link into!

Even editing, I can't fix it, so I just changed the link to point the home page, and added a link directly to the article in the body.

Time to go off and submit a bug...

Renato Fenocchio Olive Oil

I usually write about food on my Food Like That website. I really love this olive oil, however. If you want to find out more about it, check out the Farmstead Wines Olive Oil page. You can also buy in bulk there.
