[04:31] [rattle] The tabs on that main page.. List five items. Fearing the browser's ability to scroll is pointless. Before any of this crap, there was above and below the fold. Work with it.
[04:35] [rattle] Embrace the long tail. Let there be something below the fold worth looking at. Give me something to pull up in a browser that's worth pulling on a shitty GPRS connection, waiting for it to load, and have it worth it to me to see what I got. To understand what's important with web design, you need to take two steps back to more forward.
[04:36] [rattle] Here, I see evidence of the same exact thing that made Technorati's last round of webpage edits fall on its face. Last time, certain sections did not take advantage of with width of the browser. ... which was corrected.

[04:37] [rattle] Sometimes feedback is a drunk shouting at you.
[04:37] [KevinMarks] it's just that the folk working on it have collapsed wiht exhaustion and I m ight not remeber to pass this on
[04:39] [rattle] Hey, I got a web community I run that gets (mostly) ignored. Such is the fate accepted by anyone who decides to take the personal risk to speak. I saw your soapbox, I stood on it. Maybe I'll remember to comment via email.. Maybe I'll continue to have trouble switching between windows.
[04:40] [rattle] I need to implement trackback and all that shit first.. Now Google Sitemaps. And my shit still doesn't even ping anything. Now I gotta write you email's to help you aggregate the web for your own benefit? What's in it for me?
[04:46] [KevinMarks] rattle: blog your critique
[04:46] [KevinMarks] then ping us

[04:53] [rattle] I already said, my site does not ping. I still need to write that code. Its not as simple as installing Movable Type or Wordpress here.. Building a community from the ground up for people isn't as easy as it looks on the Internet. Take two layers of irony and call me in the morning.
