Mad men (spoilers) - amoxy Oct 17, 22:12
i'm suddenly hungry and don't know why -- nm - hachiko Oct 17, 21:57
how bored are you? i would love you forever if you helped QA my portfolio site. - kare Oct 17, 21:41 25
- OK, one more than I'm going to bed... - Mop Oct 17, 22:29 1
  - that occurred to me too. plus, i'm touting my obsession with consistency, and then i'm not so consistent. i will fix. thank you again -- nm - kare Oct 17, 22:32
- The first 3 letters of the logo are too close and feel jumbled. Can you find a similar font with better spacing? the F feels overpowed by the L -- nm - peglegpete Oct 17, 22:22 1
  - I love the logo but - is this just an optical illusion? - the first word looks bigger than the second word (in terms of font size) -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 22:24
- Oh, that ain't right! Found a bug. - Mop Oct 17, 22:18 1
  - ooh! see, i *so* love you. thanks much to you and all. (fixing!) -- nm - kare Oct 17, 22:20
- remove the credit to the theme base from the footer and the powered by wordpress. Also ... - Karl_S Oct 17, 22:16 2
  - You're right that the footer needs some cleaning up, though. There's some redundancy. - Mop Oct 17, 22:23
  - She's offering both a "photography" portfolio and a "writing" portfolio, so changing "photography" to "portfolio" on the menu doesn't work. -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 22:20
- Now I'm curious about the Weekend in Long Beach. If you're going to include that screenshot, then hyperlink it to the full article! Tease! -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 22:12
- Looks great and I didn't notice any errors other than what you mentioned. -- nm - Krusty Oct 17, 22:01 1
  - thank you! -- nm - kare Oct 17, 22:12
- looks great to me. Also, your food pictures make me hungry. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 21:53 1
  - :) thanks. that's a good thing (for me!) -- nm - kare Oct 17, 22:00
- Does Wordpress have a "lightbox" plugin for your photo gallery? - Mop Oct 17, 21:49 7
  - hmmm... toss up on still learning. my assumption if I read cheap rates would be either still learning, or just not very good. it might be good to - mafic Oct 17, 21:56 3
    - I agree that kare's photos is good. I've seen much worse "professional" work. -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 22:11
    - hmm. okay, i guess i need to think about this. i have no idea what's standard... - kare Oct 17, 21:58 1
      - nor do I for session phtography, fwiw. but "only $100" makes it sound like a deal. -- nm - mafic Oct 17, 22:49
  - wait... did you get an error? and actually i feel more comfortable mentioning i'm still learning photography. - kare Oct 17, 21:53 2
    - No, no error. I just thing that photo layouts online are moving towards a lightbox look rather than a plain gallery. - Mop Oct 17, 22:08 1
      - oooh i see. yes there is a lightbox treatment i can use with the nextgen gallery plugin. it was annoying me, though. ;) - kare Oct 17, 22:11
- It looks all pretty smexy to me. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 21:47 2
  - thank you for looking :) -- nm - kare Oct 17, 21:53 1
    - Sure thing. Made me hungry though. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 21:54

NANOWRIMO project-related question ... would it be fair to say that climate control storage units have been around a while? - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 17, 21:22 4
- Oh... I should have the time (but probably not the discipline) to do this this year. -- nm - Dano Oct 17, 21:30
- i don't really remember seeing them widespread until the 90s -- nm - hachiko Oct 17, 21:25 2
  - but it wouldn't be *unreasonable* to suggest that some were around back then? I want to stay realistic and as accurate as - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 17, 21:28 1
    - it's fiction. make shit up -- nm - hachiko Oct 17, 21:29
