It is a random sort of day.
I like Dreamwidth. I like how much easier everything is. Posting comments, editing and all sorts of stuff I know is easier from using it, but I don't have the coding background to explain why. Oh, and I like my 200 icons.
*takes a moment to dance around with her 200 icons*
I like my 'control room' page. It seems so streamlined and yet everything it there and right where I need it to be. It also feels like MY page, and not like someone else is letting me work in a corner of their office. (I always feel like someone is looking over my shoulder on the LJ page)
I am bothered by some of the 'we hate DW' comments, not because people don't like it, but because most of these comments come from people who haven't even tried it out. And many of the criticisms are unfair. Yes, the basic styles are not pretty. (hey, they aren't) DW is in Beta. They are not supposed to be pretty, they are supposed to be functional. Pretty comes later. Oh well.
Have fanfic!

(Her personal item was a box of roller-ball Biros, point two cubic meters, 120 blue pens plus 5 free. It was either that or a framed picture of her ex-girlfriend. It was a new galaxy; she should have practical, useful things. She might have reconsidered had it been a picture of her ex-girlfriend's dog, who turned out to be much more personable than the ex-girlfriend.)Go, shoo, read.
Or sittin' in your easy chair...
