  Re: Blind to icons
 
(...) I guess I should chime in here. I didn't notice it for a while myself. (...) Very nicely. (25 years ago, 30-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Blind to icons
 
(...) Agreed! (Perhaps) unfortunately for Todd, the best solution I can see is for more small icons for the other links! :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 30-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Blind to icons
 
(...) Great!--glad you like it. BTW, here is a larger version of it, from an unfinished layout experiment last December (1998)... (URL) you think it's too big?

(...) It's not too big for that page. (...) Even if you don't use the black bars, the layout changes would make the CLSotW page more useful. More useful for me, anyway--I'm an infrequent visitor, so I always want to check previous winners. Steve (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Blind to icons
 
(...) Where's my banner?!? ;-) Even so, I like the new format much better! Very clean, very slick. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I'm pretty sure anyone who prints out a web page deserves to be irritated. At a place I used to work, it was very common for the management types to hand you a stack of paper, saying "I came across this web site I thought you should see." (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.publish)
