Fabulous beaded work! I think I'm in love!

LOL - Thanks Fiddy. :D My list of wants for website viewing is pretty much the same as yours.

I love the following web sites - specifically for web site design. The beads are fab, too. I have other favorite lampwork artists, but this is just based on web presentation.

Flash and Java have their place. They are great for websites that are purely for visual entertainment. I love the Harry Potter sites and they are loaded with bells and whistles. But if you're selling something, the faster, easier, cleaner the site is, the longer the customer will stay, IMO.

OOoooh, cute!! Lips! I finally figured out where I have seen her work before - she was in an issue of Bead & Button (I think) recently with the tube beads and such. Truly unique and lovely work, but her website is awful.

Isn't he AMAZING? This is my favorite:

Okay, First Prize: Best Use of Animation (I've ever seen)

First Prize: Best Intro Page (I didn't even mind having an intro page on this site) ~~ Sooz

why should I have to "enter" a site I have selected to visit? I only have dial up and that is a complete waste of my time. If I did not want to "enter" I would not have gone there to begin with. I know don't end a sentence with a preposition like with.

I KNOW. That's exactly how I feel. It's a vanity page -- "Lookit how my first page looks so groovy! Aren't you impressed?" Bleh!

AGREED! That is just *so* dumb! And so many places are doing it now. What are they *thinking*?

This is the sort of pedantry up with which I will not put.

I agree. It would be like having a wooden door in front of a wooden door. Makes no sense. At least let me walk into a hall with a choice of doors.

I feel exactly the same way! And I have heard recently that "They" (who are they???) have decided it is no longer grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition. So we can now say "where's the cheese at?" with impunity. :)

I heard that -- from my mother, of all people (the Grammar Dominatrix). But I think "they" went out of their way to say that "You may never, ever end a sentence with 'at'. Unless, of course it is the sentence we just uttered." ~~ Sooz

I take particular diabolical joy in ending senetences with "at". It stems from knowing a gentleman named Bret, who HATES IT SO MUCH. He cringes and whimpers - literally - when I do it. How could I not love something thst offers such gratification? I have explained to him, painstakingly, over and over, that one MUST be able to end a sentence with "at" in order to be able to utter the words "Yo, b8ch, where the mother f---ing cheese at?"

He, in return, sends me emails chock-a-block with excessive ellipses and inappropriate overuse of quotation marks.

LOL! Likewise. hon!
