Vague Weirdness

[girljustlikeyou]

We can customize the titles of our friends page, our comments pages and so forth over here on LiveJournal. This can lead to much weirdness and confusion because I could call my various pages:

Tennis Ball
Beets
Snails
Toenails
Caboose
Bobcat

Which one is my friends page? Which one is my userinfo page?

Gotta click on 'em all, what fun!

There is usually at least a theme to the madness - something terribly clever and just obscure enough so that the person thinks it's mercilessly original and brutally cool - Goth, Birds, Gardening, Guns, Geek and so on. But sweet Jesus, people - make the information useful! If your theme is birds, say, try something like:

Nest = Posts
Flock = Friends
Droppings = Comments
Species = Userinfo

I mean, give us a clue already! We Netizens (a term I haven't used or heard in forever, and which I shall eternally loathe) have an attention span of less than or equal to 3 seconds - if we can't find what we're looking for in that period of time, poof! We're outta there, baby. You lose. Thanks for playing.

Have a nice day.

In a nutshell: Don't call your Friends page "Hazelnuts."
