fiddly

If you're using Safari 4 or a Webkit beta, I've enhanced my LJ a little - links now bounce a little when you roll over them, and user icons next to posts are a little tilted. The cool thing about this is that, unlike most solutions for making webpages jump and twitch, no Javascript is needed.

I can totally see css animations being just as derided as blink and marquee*. Except they can also be used subtly. Unlike blink.

I really ought to have the style put a random rotation on the userpics as an inline style instead of stacking up several '.post + .post + .post + .post .author' selectors (with varying amounts of '+ .post' of course) but I'm too lazy to spend ten minutes hunting for LJ's S2 docs and digging through them to see if there's a random() function available. Oh wait, there's a handy link to the damn docs in the s2 editor page, and Google can do the rest for me. Yay!

* once they get ironed out into the specs and only IE fails to support them correctly. unless that rumor about ie9 being a shell around webkit comes to pass.

I have everything in LJ set to my style, which is to say none at all. Even when I'm looking at other folks' pages, I see it using my options. At some point, I'll get around to turning off other folks' LJ icons, too.
