Yeah, there isn't much relevant to add to a conversation that was pretty senseless in the first place.
Does anyone here know about website design techniques? I'm trying to figure out the name of a design element I like (it's an effect like a slide show). It is not parallax scrolling as far as I know.
Thanks in advance.
I think I figured it out. It is called either an image slider or a responsive image slider.
Morning all.
With regards to the very (almost, sort of) serious conversation Lil and Bos were having... I consider myself a writer because I have stories in my head that want to come out. Yeah, I've had a few published previously, but lately I just write for myself and a few friends because the stories want out of my head, no matter what. Also, you are most definitely an artist, Lil. Having your work displayed in a gallery is not, in my humble opinion, the only thing that makes an artist. In fact, it might be the very last thing. Like writing, you have art in you that wants to come out, and you earn money from your art, so not only are you an artist, but you're a professional artist too!
Also, for the record, I consider myself a cynically optimistic realist. I hope for the best, don't expect it to happen, and prepare for the worst.
Hey, Lil!
Yeah, you'd have to be an extreme pessimist with a side of masochism to wish or hope for the worst.
Lol. I’m not even going to touch on the subject of masochism.
I’m taking my kid to the movies. I’ll be back tonight—I hope you’re around to chat.
Off topic (or on topic?): now that I have found this thread it is driving me insane. How does one check the reputation points of themselves and others? I found the FAQ explanation of what they are, but as a person who is highly motivated by intangible arbitrary internet points, I must know how to check.
I know you didn't say "author". I was just...ya know...telling you my take on things.
I don't know...telling someone you like art, or that you paint, doesn't give the same impression as saying, "I'm an artist." On other other hand, I often have to explain to people that art is actually my career, not just my hobby. It can be slightly annoying. Like, "No, I'm not saying I like to draw cute stick figures. I mean that if you want me to paint that portrait of your grandma, I'm gonna charge you because that's how I make a living."
I think that's called "physical therapy."

Sure, if you say so.
I was published in a magazine so I consider myself an author. By the very loosest of terms. Just like I consider myself an artist because I get paid for what I do. But I mean...seriously? It's not like I've got my work in galleries (anymore).
Whatever you call it, I can't seem to walk away.
Hey, Southy! I hope you don't get that extreme heat. It's October. What IS Ma Nature thinking?
So glad I missed the ear worms!
Hi catesquire. Click on settings up in the top right corner. This will take you to a screen with threads you've recently visited. It will also list recent reps you've received, with a total of reps received in the top bar of that section, and below that will be the section of reps you've given, and the point value of your reps. I'm currently sitting on 2 points per rep. I THINK it might go up to 3 when I hit 10K posts, but don't quote me on that.

Thank you! <3
I now return you to your regularly scheduled not-touching-of-masochism, already in progress.
