Here's Jellyfish!

Speaking of jellyfish, I'm on vacation right now on an island, so I might run into a real one sometime soon.

Yes, faithful readers, that's why I have no pics of the national team camp up right now. I'm not in L.A.

This template: ewwwwww...

I must admit that although I found the original Sideline Views (green) template to be hideous, I'm even more unnerved by the recent experiments. They're pretty much all terrible.

Can't someone with some decent knowledge of HTML or CSS design a more attractive interface? Since I love this blog, I'd volunteer to do it, but alas, my coding facility is pathetic.

Wow briguy, could you be more negative. Tell us how ya really feel! lol ;)

Bri(e) is a very good cheese though!

@coach: Yes, well, I don't mean to be so negative; after all, it's the content that we all come here for, and the content is superb.

I recently had to build a wiki, and I also opted for a template. It's impossible to please everyone, but I tried for something clean and easy on the eyes, and that would look good across a variety of access points (20" widescreen monitors, 2" iPhone screens, etc.).

It should be noted that my criticism has much more to do with the geniuses that designed the blogger templates than with A.C. and L.B.!

In a word: yuk! The only thing missing from this template is the Crayolas! I'm with Briguy on this - I wasn't a fan of the old template, but jellyfish is REALLY bad.

Canada vs. Sweden for Gold in 30 minutes, are you watching Pia?

Joseph D'Hippolito said...

Jon Geissler said...

You should try Minima Blue.

Jellyfish stings...get it?

I saw something cool that was similar on Monster Quest on the Discovery Channel with a giant squid in Mexico.

That should read "minima", but do it with color.

Meant to add, Ryan is on Fox Football fone-in or something like that tonight, should be interesting, maybe? :(

Anonymous said...

fyi, correction, fox fone in with Greg Ryan is tomorrow night, Jan 8th.

A.C.,enjoy your vacation. You deserve one. You are among the hardest-working (if not *the* hardest-working) soccer writers in the country (certainly in L.A.). Keep up the good work.

This is Jellyfish? This template is godawful. It looks like a third-grade posterboard presentation. All the others have been better.

You would think Fox could get their web site right with the time but apparently not! The phone-in was tonight & Ryan continues to look like a bit, no, more then a bit, of an idiot!

^what did he say?

Anonymous said...

To summarize in as few words as possible, the inconsistency of his previous interview regarding the Keeper switch & long ball remains but now he is coming right out and saying Hope broke team rules instead of implying that she broke team rules?

Also, he is going to write that book that we have joked about!

Make room Roger Clemens!

he needs to just shut up and move on...the WNT have moved on.

he might be a little bit jealous that the players like pia better and have more praise. lol

They said all the same things about Ryan that they are saying about Pia now when he took over.
