Circle...meet Square.
Over the last...less than a week ago (whenever that message was from a stranger I wasn't interested in a relationship with but they made a valid point as web code came up briefly (Javascript, noooo!)) that made me think, "Hey, I added what amounts to a footer to my profile...what else could I get away with doing to my profile that will render properly?"
Could I really stylize my profile beyond the boxes they have you type everything in and they auto-format?
Considering they don't provide access to italics, bold, and other basic formatting devices via buttons or other controls unless you know what the HTML tags (if you're going to rock the old-school depreciated methods) or how to do it via CSS and a span element. I'm getting technical now and I don't do it in order to lose you.
It had me wondering about what else could I do.
Could I add an element and with a coloured background that would stand out against the white, semi-transparent and then tilt it so that it looked like what was once a square had become a diamond?
Or round the corners and turn it into a circle? (Ha, take that boxes! See if I stay inside your four equally-sized walls!)
Or maybe a triangle or a snowcone.
Or if I really want to show off a star.
Hah! I can see that right there at the top of the profile when users are quickly surfing who's out there and...man, it'd be like how people used to try and make classified ads stand out by using symbols like the asterisk.
What? This user has a star and isn't a star bellied sneetch?! Wow! That's so cool! (What's with me and those sneetches lately?) Thus creating a more memorable profile because I feel pretty confident that my face isn't very memorable. I feel very average as far as physical attractiveness goes. I say that which might make it sound like I think about that regularly but I don't. I think my personality, no not that, the other thing, my ideas! I think the crazy ideas I think about and want to at times blurt out to the world are what will set me apart on a different level. I also realize there may not be very many people that are in to that. Which is disappointing. Looking for a small fish among billions in a massive pond. (Ssh, don't tell me I can't call a large body of water a pond! It's a pond in my mind if I want it to be, it's a close knit community of...yeah, I don't really need to continue this mock argument against myself as funny as it was meant to be when I started it.)
Drop caps!
I love drop caps.
And it could be easy too if I could combine two pseudo-elements together which I thought I had seen but...considering the constraints of the document...hrm, it's all a question of how do I do it while minimizing the number of additional HTML tags/elements I have to use... That is tough.
Oh...family calls!
