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?
November 30th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
Yup.
November 30th, 2006 at 9:24 pm
Cool. Can’t believe anyone would use 800 x 600 anymore really O_o
November 30th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
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.
November 30th, 2006 at 10:13 pm
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.
November 30th, 2006 at 10:22 pm
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.
November 30th, 2006 at 10:22 pm
Why is the sidebar on the left wayyyyyy down?
November 30th, 2006 at 10:24 pm
Bridge: Ops. I forgot about the IE crowd. Let me go fix that…
November 30th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
Horizontal scrollbars are the middle fingers of the internet, DM, and you’ve just flipped me one.
So long.
November 30th, 2006 at 10:42 pm
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?/
November 30th, 2006 at 10:47 pm
It all depends on how long the post gets.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:00 pm
There! You got what you want! Are you happy now? ;-;
I hate having the content area 400px wide on the main page. orz
November 30th, 2006 at 11:04 pm
I’m personally at 1280-1024, And I can enjoy your website nonefullscreen so I’m happy.
And I totally support your Haruhiism.

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.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:14 pm
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.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:21 pm
Loli, get a second monitor ;)
DM, you could also use Javascript to detect the screen resolution and use the corresponding css file.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:24 pm
Kurisu: that’s more work! Gao! And it wouldn’t work for windows anyway.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:35 pm
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.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:40 pm
I’m not going to carry around a second monitor for my laptop, Kurisu.
That would just be stupid.
November 30th, 2006 at 11:42 pm
lol
Didn’t know you were using a laptop. Then ignore that advice ;)
November 30th, 2006 at 11:53 pm
The new size is nice.
December 1st, 2006 at 1:57 am
Looks good to me. Sorry if I missed it, but what plugin did you use for the tagging system?
December 1st, 2006 at 2:02 am
What exactly is “gao” supposed to mean?
December 1st, 2006 at 2:49 am
By the way, you took off your old blog’s archives? Can I still read them?
December 1st, 2006 at 5:07 am
Computers are boring, but I like your gao
GAO GAO GAO!!! (says my pet stegosaurus)

>>>What exactly is “gao” supposed to mean?
Gao is Air’s Misuzu’s catch phrase.

Lawl clutter.
December 1st, 2006 at 9:41 am
:O !
New layout!
That gets wiped out after I hit the comments link! :[
December 1st, 2006 at 3:54 pm
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.
