One of the commandments can be "only use comments as a means of advertising your own blog". (Another can be "always try to feed your own crappy suggestions to your favorite bloggers, even though they already have plenty of ideas and are way better than you".)<BR/><BR/>On another note, I just beat Castlevania 2 a couple of weeks ago.

We cannot stress this strongly enough. There are several problems with this, the predominate one being unnecessary eye strain. Also, the black background & white text reminds your viewers of passé websites circa 1998 containing angry rants. Finally, you need to be aware that many of your blog’s readers may be viewing your site at work, and don’t want to get caught by their boss reading ominous black web sites that suggest they’re procuring guns, devil worshipping literature, or Castlevania walkthroughs. Not that Rickey is paranoid or anything…</I><BR/><BR/>I can't help but to feel personally slighted. But guess what, Blastings! is a black man, and a black web site he shall have! And contrary to your claim about eye strain, black backgrounds are actually better on the eyes. The default white background is a holdover from thinking computer screens should be like paper. We're in the twentieth century, Rickey. And finally, it's called RSS feeds! Get a damn feed reader! Who the hell actually goes to blogs anymore? When you want to see if you have e-mail, do you ask each one of your friends if he has an e-mail for you? No, you just open up your e-mail client or site and check your damn e-mail. It should be the same with blogs: www.google.com/reader.<BR/><BR/>You have been disagreed with.Scaevolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186233560997401909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-9086301831997759362007-11-29T15:35:00.000-05:002007-11-29T15:35:00.000-05:00Rickey:In regards to your angry comment on Around ...Rickey:<BR/><BR/>In regards to your angry comment on Around the Keg (which, admittedly this week has indeed suffered from inactivity):<BR/><BR/>Please accept our apologies.

For example, Rickey, you may be discussing the Mets, but inserting the words "High School Musical," "sex tape" or "Rudy Giuliani nude" will ensure that tons of unsuspecting search engine users stumble upon your blog. While you may start some nasty rumors about a Paul LoDuca-Rudy Giuliani sex tape, you will get some more hits.<BR/><BR/>Egan, out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
