I expect it happens just about everywhere. I happen to follow the Drupal forums so I am accustomed to the rhythm of it all, but I see blowups elsewhere from time to time, usually involving free stuff. I am even guilty of it myself. Not over at Drupal, because it always seemed to work at least enough to give me hope. It was back before Drupal.

People seem to like images on a website. I do try to tone the graphics down on a website, perhaps too much, because I know that a lot of people have slow connections and a heavy page is very frustrating to them. On the other hand, I was recently giving a site an overhaul and I added a few small icons in strategic places, and that little dash of color really livened things up.

The word blog is as nebulus in use as much as it is untempting in pronunciation. A blog is a tool as well as a virtual location, and can be verbified as in "I ate breakfast and then I blogged it". The fact that the mention of a blog brings up, in the minds of many, a vision of self-important somebodies detailing the details of their consuming existance reveals the true power of blogs - this stuff is easy for anybody!
