We are all on some kind of forum, posting this, reading that. Everyone has a footer. What’s a good footer though? After the recent upgrade of my computer, I found that Flash footers that use an infinite loop to make particles make my CPU fan spin like hell. I just made a simple and nice text footer for kirupaForum. Yes, it was inspired by Ahem’s footer. I like his better though — original.
My current footer is less than 500 characters, the restricted limit for all footers on the forums. There are no images, no tables, and no external scripts to load. Wouldn’t it be a better world if everyone had such clean and nice footers?
So convert your footers to text-based ones! If you can have a new footer everyday, then yes it might be amusing to look at some new ones. Otherwise, be considerate of my computer fan!
Actually, I just moved mine away. My profile will show you that I have a nice new footer, with a fun joke in it (at least I like it…).
As protest against most of those flashy, and ultimately ugly, footers, I usually just protest with a simple 1 line text link to my site and maybe a witty quote.
I really like your footer. I was staring at it earlier today cause it’s nice and pretty. I don’t want to give up my footer though, sure it’s gaudy and ugly, but I like it :)
Jeff, I thought your footer said it “My blog poops” too until I saw your explanation :P. Haha great idea.
Your footer is fine Josh! Trendy colours, just what the world needs.
I’m curious, what’s the bbcode you used to do this?
Hehe :P
