Oh my, CameronStewart, background music. Urgh. Annyoing for the reasons you stated plus the fact that I often have music playing anyway.
And more generally, unnecessarily, stupidly elaborate page designs. Especially widespread on sites like Myspace, Livejournal and similar. One reason they annoy me is simply that... well... my main computer that I use to browse the web isn't the fastest and some features just make it crawl. Unfortunately, Kali, your myspace page does it. It doesn't look bad, but it kills my browser. Probably the huge high-res background that does it. Another thing is that a lot of elaborate desings might look pretty, but are in some way awkward to navigate.
Anyway, this is one of the things I like about Livejournal. Yes, people make silly designs and spend ages on them, change them frequently and all that. They also use annoying features that slow down the browser and/or just break the page. BUT I pretty much always view my friends' journals via the "Friends" page - which displays them in the layout of MY journal (which is very basic). Also on LJ: User icons, of which a lot of people have a huge selection, most of which are.. well, aren't even vaguely representative of them. Surely, the idea is to have as your icon something that relates to you. Not necessarily your own face, but maybe a drawing, an animal, I don't know. But never mind, I'm straying too far off-topic here. |
