Button junkies, now I'm not talking about the buttons on your clothes or those people who collect those types of buttons. Check ebay if you don't believe me! I'm also not talking about those supper cool buttons we all pinned to our denim jackets, denim purses, vests, and hats back in the 80's and for some of us in the 90's too.... hey! don't judge me! I am here today to talk about website / blog buttons. Everywhere you go is a here take this button steal this button plug me on your blog button! Now if you look on my blog I believe you will see a couple so I'm not totally condemning the whole idea. However I have visited blogs that have so many buttons that the page keeps going for miles after the last blog post has been read! I mean come on!
Now out of fairness I may be more likely to click on a colorful button rather than a non colorful one but really pages like that are messy. One reason I will not use yahoo and msn as search pages is because they are what I like to call "cluster fucks." There is so much going on I don't know what I'm looking at. I get all nervous and sweaty just like when I go into my 4 year old's room after he's been playing in there for 5 minutes and has torn everything up. Or when I walk upstairs and see the pile of laundry after I've been on a knitting marathon. The ADD part of me doesn't know how to handle such messes. I have to have someone show me where to start. Well unless some bloggers and web designers out there want to come over and hold my hand through their page I'll just have to avoid those messes for now. In my opinion buttons are acceptable in a limited amount. And buttons must be in equal proportion to each other. If you don't know how to size a button well then Google it all you have to do is use good old easy to use paint that everyone has.
Well there you have it my Sunday Rant.
