the extended entry
This is just a test for the ”Extended Entry” feature. Let’s see what happens. Read more…over here. Text appearing here is in the ”Extended Entry” field. Interesting, no? *grin* Oh well, I’ll probably delete this entry afterwards anyway. All these testing entries in fact…

consider this … "Artistic creation is not born ex nihilo from the brains of individuals as a private language; it has always been a social practice. Ideas are not original, they are built upon layers of knowledge accumulated throughout history. Out of these common layers, artists create works that have their unmistakable specificities and innovations. All creative works reassemble ideas, words and images from history and their contemporary context."
"Only after the invention of the creative genius, practices of collaboration, appropriation and transmission were actively forgotten."
"Copyright pits author against author in a war of competition for originality – its effects are not only economic, it also naturalizes a certain process of knowledge production, delegitimates the notion of a common culture, and cripples social relations. Artists are not encouraged to share their thoughts, expressions and works or to contribute to a common pool of creativity. Instead, they jealously guard their “property” from others, who they view as potential competitors, spies and thieves lying in wait to snatch and defile their original ideas. This is a vision of the art world created in capitalism’s own image, whose ultimate aim is to make it possible for corporations to appropriate the alienated products of its intellectual workers."
"The private ownership of ideas over the last two centuries hasn't managed to completely eradicate the memory of a common culture or the recognition that knowledge flourishes when ideas, words, sounds and images are free for everyone to use."

I don't want to exploit anyone's labor. Images and texts were mostly taken from the Internet and are usually linked to where I found them. These images and texts have touched me in one way or another, they've inspired me, made me think, served as a basis for the writing of poetry, etc. If you insist I take one such image or text you consider to be yours and yours only down, contact me, and I might. I'd prefer you to consider my blogging the image or text as a token of recognition, admiration or appreciation though. |

I also use Mozilla and the fonts look fine to me.
Using a ‘medium’ font-size is sensible as it allows the user to set their preferred medium size in their browser. My own pet hate is sites that use really small fonts throughout so I’m forever having to squint at them. It is also dead easy to alter font sizes in Mozilla with a key press, so don’t change it just for the sake of Moz users.
awesome! congrats your up and running
Nice.
Congratulations! Looking good. Looking VERY good…!
There will be a lot of changes in the times ahead. The templates for comments, trackback, archives etc. aren’t customised yes and I indeed want to change the color scheme.
For the moment I”m just happy I got this right. Using no tables and positioning via CSS, is more difficult than I thought *grin*
Anyway, you’ll just have to come back once in a while and watch the changes I guess…
Congrats Morgaine for your new site *hugs* How are you today sweetie??
congrats! you finally manage to get mt working for you! that’s great
Just some pointers of a Mozilla user: Fonts are very, very big, >12 pt is my guess. didn’t know blue was your color? think you adjust it to some more orange/yellow/reddish i assume? But, it looks pretty good, my compliments!
ok, need to update my entry concerning the fonts in mozilla. I was working on a NT4 machine, probably missing the default font of this site. So, no worries after all, its all to blame onto an ancient OS.
This font is probably not here to stay anyway. It’s not exactly what I am looking for. Maybe I should develop my own font, what do you think?
Heh, natural linguist, I aint!
Mmmm Matt, almost right. Cronopio is using Movable Type. Unfortunately it crashed and he lost almost all of his entries. He was using a Berkely database. I told him that I read what happened to his blog and that I’ll be making lots of backups. That I’m using an SQL database and I hope that’s more stable than the one he was using. And finally that one can’t have enough backups…
So uhm, just applying the fearsome, matt © intelligence to dutch, you just said something like:
Yes cronopio, i’ll be making backups, it was one of the reasons for the new blog. I hope that the SQL database is more stable. And I’ll make a backup every night.
Just curious, how bad a translation was that?
interesting note: you can use the excerpt field to change what the body of your rss feed is!
Just thought i’d point that out!
Inderdaad cronopio, héél veel backups maken. Ik las wat er met jouw blog gebeurd was en kan me voorstellen dat je er danig de pest over inhebt. Nu gebruik ik een SQL database die hopelijk wat stabieler is.
Maar toch… een backup kun je nooit teveel hebben
Gefeliciteerd, en veel backuppen he.
