DarkMirage.com – now with 100% more clutter!

I finally decided to stop supporting 800 x 600 resolutions. It’s just too damn small to work with. According to Google Analytics, only about 4% of you are using 800 x 600 screens, so you’ll have to deal with the horizontal scrollbar… Tyranny of the majority ftw!

Forget it. 400px wide content div it is. GAO!

I also tweaked the layout here and there and added a tagging system. Now all I need to do is to blog more often… :P

BTW the RSS feed from Danny is part of his “Featured Feeds” initiative.

    Wow, the taglist thing is really cool O_O Are the tags with bigger font those with more posts?

  2. iMp4Ct says:

    Cool. Can’t believe anyone would use 800 x 600 anymore really O_o

  3. lolikit says:

    Hm…. DarkMirage, I used to think you were really, really cool. I could sort of accept your Haruhiism, revolting though it was.

    Two sidebars?

    All of your new “clutter” is pretty much unncessary, too. Why, DM, why?

    Think about people on 1024×768 who don’t like being forced to browse the web in fullscreen. Bitch.

  4. Mac says:

    I don’t use 800×600 any more, and I love living this way. Of course, the reason I love higher resolutions is because I don’t have to run my web browser full-screen.

  5. DarkMirage says:

    I added all the new stuff to the right side. It doesn’t stop you from surfing in a 800px-wide window if you ignore the right bar.

  6. Bridge Bunny says:

    Why is the sidebar on the left wayyyyyy down?

  7. DarkMirage says:

    Bridge: Ops. I forgot about the IE crowd. Let me go fix that…

  8. lolikit says:

    Horizontal scrollbars are the middle fingers of the internet, DM, and you’ve just flipped me one.

    So long.

  9. lolikit says:

    Also should I bother pointing out the fact that *all* the info in your “single post” layout’s sidebar is 100% redundant? It’s all there in the main column, /why have it in a sidebar too?/

  10. DarkMirage says:

    It all depends on how long the post gets.

  11. DarkMirage says:

    There! You got what you want! Are you happy now? ;-;

    I hate having the content area 400px wide on the main page. orz

  12. Bluestreak2 says:

    I’m personally at 1280-1024, And I can enjoy your website nonefullscreen so I’m happy.

    And I totally support your Haruhiism.

  13. Kurisu says:

    I was wondering for a long time why most bloggers still insist on supporting 800*600. NO ONE uses that anymore. Especially no one who downloads the latest anime the moment TT lists them.

    Loli, the only reason why you wouldn’t surf with their browser windows maximized use a vista-style sidebar.

  14. lolikit says:

    Spectacular, DM.

    Kurisu- I surf with in a window because I like to be able to see multiple things on my computer at a time- my IM buddy list, new messages in IRC, etc.

  15. Kurisu says:

    Loli, get a second monitor ;)

    DM, you could also use Javascript to detect the screen resolution and use the corresponding css file.

  16. DarkMirage says:

    Kurisu: that’s more work! Gao! And it wouldn’t work for windows anyway.

  17. Kurisu says:

    No way to get the viewpoint via Javascript?

    Another way would be the user selection of the CSS file.

    Or you could use a 1024 style and make it so that users who still use 800*600 don’t see the second sidebar. The information there is mostly redundant anyway.

  18. lolikit says:

    I’m not going to carry around a second monitor for my laptop, Kurisu.

    That would just be stupid.

  19. Kurisu says:

    lol
    Didn’t know you were using a laptop. Then ignore that advice ;)

  20. LianYL says:

    The new size is nice.

  21. Ariadne says:

    Looks good to me. Sorry if I missed it, but what plugin did you use for the tagging system?

  22. exalt dragon says:

    What exactly is “gao” supposed to mean?

  23. exalt dragon says:

    By the way, you took off your old blog’s archives? Can I still read them?

  24. love says:

    Computers are boring, but I like your gao

    GAO GAO GAO!!! (says my pet stegosaurus)

  25. Beowulf says:

    Add more goth loli nekomimi meidos while you’re at it.

  26. Beowulf says:

    >>>What exactly is “gao” supposed to mean?

    Gao is Air’s Misuzu’s catch phrase.

  27. t3h Dave says:

    :O !
    New layout!
    That gets wiped out after I hit the comments link! :[

  28. Ronin says:

    Now all I need to do is to blog more often… :P

    You should. You’re not bored anymore, are you? ;)

    And don’t forget your students at the Japanese Lessons tab. Still got any more pics? :P

    Sorry to bother you, Darkmirage, I was wondering how to purchase this game online? As you can see, I am very ignorant once it comes to these things.
