In the middle of last month, the homepage at work was reworked to feature kelly green. Annoying but readable, and thankfully, short-lived.
Just now I went to the same home page. The background is full of Easter eggs. The headings have a lavender background with yellow lettering. There’s also some blue and pink in places.
It hurts! Yellow on lavender is just barely readable. And, fercryinoutloud, I don’t work in a day care or a craft store - I work at an aircraft depot. We overhaul and repair aircraft and engines.
GAH! Yet another reason I’ll be glad to leave this place.
It’s a toss-up as to whether our homepage or snopes is worse.
And, yes, sometimes I think I do work for them - I’m constantly sending people there after they share idiotic forwards with me. Snopes should be paying me a commission!
Oh, inTRAnet. Meh. We’ve got a FrontPage-driven intranet with those godawful purple navigation buttons. It’s hideous but not embarrassing, at least, because it’s just us.
It’s odd, but not horrible. I was expecting a page similar to those crafted by middle-aged women from the South; incredibly long, glurge-filled, loaded with flowery graphics, MIDI playing in the background, filled with bad poetry, and containing the obligatory tributes to 9-11, President Bush, Jesus, “survivors,” Dale Earnhardt, and her sister’s stillborn child.
Granted, it could be lots worse, but on a 21" screen the color just draws my eye - offends my eye!! And I don’t think the screen capture was able to convey the subtlety of the easter egg background.
The whole scheme seems far more appropriate to a kindergarten. I know in the grand scheme of things this is a weak rant, but every time I see this page during the day (which is lots) it just grates on me!! My only consolation is that it’ll be gone on Monday… I hope…
and give us a link.
