I really
like these types of 2 column center space layouts, but they never work.
I had to do this one quick, and then I lost it right away because my
hosting company was incompetent and I couldn't meet the TFL updating
schedule. It was pretty ugly, and the worst part was that the
incompetent staff of the Animation category had approved two FLs for it.
No idea on the font. |

I ran a
small collective of screen capture sites for about a year. This was the
layout for the collective index. The image was edited together from a
Polaroid ad, and a screenshot of the movie Romeo + Juliet (hence
"Capulet"). I really loved this layout, but the navigation buttons were
always too light to read well. Not sure of the font. I
closed the subdomain and all the capture sites when I realized that I
just didn't have the storage space to really hold them. |

Once upon
a time, the web was full of fun joinable things called "cliques."
Unfortunately, they died as fast as they sprang up. I found them
to be a really fun idea that was really poorly implemented. One
day I wrote a blog entry about how much bad webmasters for these things
bothered me, and I ended up expanding on that for an "advice" site.
Nobody ever went to it, and now cliques are pretty much dead. The
site succumbed because I was right - cliques were run so poorly that
people all abandoned them. I don't know what the font was, but I
wish I still had it. |

Before I
understood images, I used to design sites using great fonts, which I
coded into the <font> tag. Of course, not everyone on the other
end had those fonts on their computers. So, I thought the only way
to fix it was to distribute the fonts themselves. I have no idea
if anyone ever downloaded the zip file with the fonts in them, but it
was up for a lot of years. Even after I figured out the image
stuff I left it up. The font of the title is Zodiastic and a
wingding (I think). |
