Here at Design Ninjas we are big Firefox fans. Mostly because there are so many extensions to choose from and ways to customize your browser with Firefox. My favorite extensions are Adblock and Adblock Filterset.G Updater. You can see in the two pictures above how different the same web page, www.tvmegasite.net, looks. The top one was a screen shot taken in Internet Explorer. The bottom picture was a screen shot taken in Firefox. The difference in the look is caused by the Adblock extension in Firefox.
I understand tvmegasite.net is a nonprofit organization and needs to make enough money to support the site, but the amount of advertisements and the ugliness of them all violate my sensibilities! I don't mind text advertisements, like Google does. It's the moving, flashing, dancing, bouncing ones that make me nuts. When a company puts advertisements like these on their websites I assume they are looking to sell to people who aren't tech savvy, because people who are know how to block that crap automatically!
You can find this same post at Design Ninjas. We will continue to post here every once in awhile, but most of our posts you will find at the Design Ninjas Blog.

Holy cripes, I leave Baxter County for a few years (OK, twenty) and it goes and gets all geeky! I saw your YouTube presence while looking for Razorback clips. Congrats on the business and best of luck. I'm an MCSE and CCNA working the graveyard shift in a NOC in the Sacto area (Rancho Cordova)... also a proud Norfork High grad from, oh, back in the ARPAnet days. You should post how the hell Bill ever made his way to the Mountain Town, that must be a story. OK I'm out, off to smoke a Native American Black and continue auditing our company's OBM list for about 200 sites. :P
Keep the ninja flag flying... if I can ever haul my L.A. wife back to float the Buffalo with our tots and visit Mom (it WILL happen someday) we'll drop in on ya.
Holy Cow, Small World strikes again! Yep, the future of marketing is being able to create stories other people will want to tell, so we'll get right on it. Thanks, and stay in touch.
