personally I think button walls should have any semblance of description, like either individual description or distinction by category at the very least. I think linking other sites is on the same level as adding a new page to your site, except with extra regards because it's another person's site that you think is special enough to have on your own site

that's a good point heart143, and is how I feel about it too. I write descriptions for mine because I want people to know why I added the site - but also I wondered if it takes away some of the spontaneity of clicking from a 'button wall' type of thing, since I noticed the latter is the most common version of it.

I feel like they have pros and cons. categories give more mystery, descriptions more clarity. maybe a toggleable description could be a good compromise?

Then theres me who doesn't even have a button wall, or links site... yet.. anyway. I plan on being on theme with my site, have narrotor talking about these distant lands, and write some descriptions based on what type of site, and have them categorized by what land they are on.. basically giving is worldbuilding lol

I like both, I prefer a large lump personally because I like the idea of pick a brick and see where it takes you. Admittedly I rarely read people's descriptions if they have added them

Maybe you could do a hover title that gives a short description? But still keeps the sort of 'random clicking fun' of a button wall. I'm thinking of doing mine like that, because I'm not sure if I even can categorize all the pages efficiently and I'm worried about it being more cluttered in the end..

thanks everyone! I might do a button to toggle between 'big wall' and the descriptions version so people can choose their favorite.

Oh thanks! Don't hold your breath haha

Huge congratulations on getting top surgery! <3 I hope it's as freeing for you as it has been for me!

Thanks! Greens are at least slightly underrated in web designs imo :D

For sure, it's difficult to get a nice looking shade of green!

my blog layout was based on the blog: thedigi-zone.com however, that website is long gone, but it can be found on the wayback machine... you might have visited it back in the day as well

my blog is kinda a very close recreation of its looks, but the content is totally different. as for my tamagotchi game, it's still in a very early phase, and it's been that way for a long time xD not much can be done in it yet... I might get back ot working on it soon, hopefully

It was 100% The Digi Zone, I remember the Digimon Frontier cover (looking at the Wayback Machine around 2005).

wow it's awesome to find other people which also used to visit this blog
