Hello. You've arrived at Téa's blog, where she likes to muse about her findings and observations from the world of fun graphics, the web, and whatever else that she finds inspiring (or annoying) enough to post about.
In other words, you get all of Téa's verbal offerings here, as opposed to the usual resource downloads that can be found on the main part of this site.

Website reviewing communities
Posted on October 29, 2006 at 09:04 pm under Tea's Musings
I got a nice email (thank you, Jen!) pointing me towards YourSite.nu after the post about my WPR sites woes, and I just had to share it. Apparently it’s quite popular, so it only shows how out of it I am when it comes to the website reviewing communities. Are there any others out there worth mentioning?
Anyhow, if anyone’s looking to have their websites reviewed or if you want to review other people’s sites, you should check it out. There are all kinds of sites and all levels of quality there too. Looks like I’ve found my new addiction site. ;p There are, unfortunately, some sour apples there as well… but that’s to be expected at any kind of review site. I’ve got my site’s submission up and received two reviews so far, which made me wonder about a few things in regards to my layout. I’m also offering reviews for any takers in case anyone’s interested.
Do any of you guys have your sites up over there? By the way, on a totally irrelevant note, I kept forgetting that the LJ syndicate journal of my blog articles allows for commenting at LJ too. Because of that, I’ve been missing a couple of your comments on my blog entries. I wish I could be notified of them, but the feature doesn’t exist. I wonder if there’s a way to get the comments to appear here too…
The new window of doom

I understand the desire to insert target="_blank” into links that takes visitors off a website- really, I do. Site owners often want visitors to remain on their site even if they’re clicking links to take them elsewhere, so what better way than to force a new browser window to open when the link is clicked? Off they go, here they stay, and you win, yes?
Not for me, you don’t. I personally would rather be given the choice to open a new tab or window if I see the need to do so. But that’s possibly a different debate altogether, and I also won’t bother getting into the fact that the target attribute doesn’t validate for XHTML 1.0 Strict or 1.1. Nevermind all that.
