Open letter to Livejournal staff
Dear Livejournal,
Thank you for Vertigo. Seriously.
I'm glad I paused to actually skim the new lj news post the other day. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have known about the Vertigo beta. Which I'm now using, since although I don't associate blue-and-blue with lj, it looks more professional than Dystopia, and it has the side bar I positively cannot live without.
I can ALMOST now forgive you for that disaster that was XColibur, and the disaster following that which was Horizon, and your general failure to update Dystopia with all the necessary links. We'll continue to pretend those site schemes DON'T EVEN EXIST.
(I'll never forgive you for the animated ads, though. Or the hideous navigation bar. Or the fact that Google-ads-on-white ruin ANY layout which isn't on a pale background. They are hilarious, though! I thank you for the few hours of amusement I had on my brand spanking new House!fic journal, where the ads along the side suggested "pain management help," and "stylish cane accessories," and asked if I needed to "understand narcotic medications." That was deeply funny until I got sick of them and switched that account back to Basic.)
I was going to renew my paid account anyway, but when I purchased the money order today, I didn't feel NEARLY so ripped off. Unless you fuck me over again, and remove Vertigo as an option, I will never again have to be aggravated by the constant and random layout changes which NEVER help me, or the fact that you keep trying to make me SCROLL SIDEWAYS.
In short Livejournal, thank you. Until the next time I practically have to alter my screen resolution to view this site, we are on friendly terms again.
Enjoy the thirty-five bucks! It's more than forty Canadian, you know.
Sincerely,
Bean
