Month: January 2002

The Heidelberg Castle skin, while I love the colors, is simply too hard to read on some monitors. The perk of skins of course is that you can pick what skin you like, but I prefer to make sure that the opening skin is one that works on several browsers and is pretty easy to read on all of them – so I did some rearranging and made the Venice skin the default. If you want to change back to the Heidelberg Castle skin (or back to Venice if that was your default before this morning), visit the Skin Selector page.

Chris Pirillo mentioned that he is currently sitting at the #3 spot for “Chris” in Google, out of 13,900,000 results. While that is quite impressive, I have to add that I am NUMBER TWO for “Christine”! Number two! Out of 3,320,000 results! Dude, get OUT! Yes, I have my screenshot for the memories…

For the people that asked about the castle in the image on the latest skin addition, you can visit the official Stadt Heidelberg site (City of Heidelberg) and see more beautiful images of the city. And they even offer an English version for those of you – like me – that don’t speak German. There is also more tourist information here and specific information on the castle and the castle gardens.

If you have a chance, can you give me feedback on the Pixelog? I want to make sure that the navigation is intuitive, that you can tell where to go to see all of the albums (ok, there are only 2 there right now, but there will be more soon!) and that you can see where to change the background from white to black and back to white again (yes, I could play with that for hours…) Basically, if you have any usability feedback, it would be really helpful. Jennifer and I kept it under pretty tight wrap before it launched, and basically only 4 people other then us saw it before last night. So … let me know. Thanks!
