Up to you of course, but it ruins it for me. One of the things I was always told when making websites was, take into account that people view them on different browsers, so make sure everyone can read what you've put up, and read it comfortably, or they'll just click and go elsewhere.
Don't be a prissy bitch.

As you can see, I decided to accept your constructive criticism and cleaned up the oversized images. Thanks for the input.

Bat, sorry if you liked the huge image motif. They’re still there under the spoiler tags.

I just find TH's "OCD > actual creativity" schtick to be tedious.

Nice one, OH. Looks much better now and you can actually read your entries.

You find everything about me to be tedious. My point was valid: if I have to keep scrolling right to get past the huge picture and read the text, chances are I'm not going to bother. Everyone (even you) make sure the pictures aren't too big for the text to be read easily. It's not OCD, it's CFS.*

I just don't have the desire to have giant pics. I'd prefer someone do what they want with their journal as it's their baby. If I'd had common sense I never would have done what I did with my old journal as I would have been too self-conscious to put something so dumb out into the world.

I just want to be able to read what's written.

Sigh. No, but when the pictures are way too big they distort the text, as the system tries to compensate by matching text to image size, stretching the text way off the screen, making it necessary to scroll right a whole lot.

You know this; you're just annoying me I know. But that's why I don't like massive pictures. They distort everything and make what's written hard to read.

Now stop taking over Occult's journal. He's made the changes, so end of.
