if we had money...

...this is what our blog would look like.

Unfortunately, the "$7 Billion" surplus we thought we had turned out to be a measly $2.8 Billion.

Expat said...: It is cool, but maybe more appropriate for a fancy shmancy product than a blog. The animation got my attention, and kept it! LOL (I must have the same attention span as Socialist Swine!) I am not a fan of the entire i-frame concept for blogs either. I like the information right out in the open rather than in some little scrollable peek-a-boo window.

I think that you should keep your $2.8 billion surplus and invest in a Double Double and a box of bits! ;); Tuesday, August 30, 2005 8:39:00 a.m.
Lawrie said...: thanks for the link. just a little info on the site, with regards to the previous comments:

~ the whole thing is just under 40k, which on dial-up would take less than eight seconds to load. the average html blog page is around 50-60k.

~ ..and the 'drawing out' takes just under two and a half seconds.

~ yes, my updates have been... sporadic, to say the least. but that's because people keep paying me wheelbarrows full of cash to do other things. 'tis a hard life.

Nastyboy said...: It's a beautiful site. I'm completely useless with computer stuff so my blog looks like crap. But it's a good way to learn computer basics that I never had a reason to give a rats arse about before.; Tuesday, August 30, 2005 1:42:00 p.m.
Robert McBean. said...: i'm reading a book on flash right now that makes the claim that a flash site is lighter and faster than a purely html site, at least for graphics. hmmm....; Tuesday, August 30, 2005 11:06:00 p.m.
Zorpheous said...: Daveberta, you are treasonous separatist. I'm going to make it the duty of the Wingnuterer to have you kicked out of the Progressive Bloggers ~evil grin~; Wednesday, August 31, 2005 7:57:00 a.m.
daveberta said...: Thanks for stopping by and giving us some tips, lawrie. Much appreciated. :-)

Zorph, you don't want to mess with the Alberta Separatist Sovereigntist! Bring it on! :-P; Wednesday, August 31, 2005 6:22:00 p.m.
Zorpheous said...: I like the image Daveberta, not too obvious about your true evil intent. The new glass really do make you look more three dimensional, and a little more classy; Thursday, September 01, 2005 9:37:00 a.m.
