You don't have to give salaam. However, if someone says salaam to you, you MUST reply (even if quietly).

some poetry:
Quote:
Asylum for the Verbally Insane - Author unknown
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England . We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship. We have noses that run and feet that smell. We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop? If puns were a crime would I be charged with mans laughter?

Those are IMO the two different personality types. Those who ask "Why?" and those who ask "Why Not?".

I am done with the changes on the main website. as I said before, if it looks odd, hit "CTRL" + "F5" before complaining.
I have gone through my list of what I wanted done with this version of the main site. Not much else that can be done apart from a major overhaul/new cms that I am always planning...
I think the changes look good too. Which other Islamic site has a cloud? (Or RSS for that matter? but I guess most of you do not use syndication. I don't either...)

I think it looks really good. I normally hate change but I like this coz it's not too drastic.
Just a very minor thing... any chance of mixing up those different topic links at the top of the page a bit more, ie making each one different to the one next to it as some links together look the same. What about having them in different colours to add more colour to the page and also to break away from the blue?
EDIT - Actually the links look alright now, more mixed up... it changes everytime I look at it.

The main site is too boxy. It needs more curves.
And less solid colours that don't go well together.
If it'll cost a bit more annually to get a better site then I'm sure some people can donate. I'd give a quid or two a year to see a better site.

It's not the money. I even have a separate webhosting deal done and being paid for for when I do make other changes to the site.
I do not have a good sense of colour coordination , and what will work without trying it out. This involves a lot of trial and error to get anything half respectable.
I think we (I mean I... erm... You) do need to change the title bar though. I know how I want it to look, but no idea what colours. (the hint of red in the current is a mistake - my old monitor must have had incorrect colour calibration.)
Lets discuss the "boxy" what do you mean? every section being closed off? something else?
There WILL be a radical overhaul at some point, but I am still not down with all the design details. That is what is holding everything up, so any ideas anyone has, brign them up. (and , no, lets leave the smileys alone for now!)
@ Imaani: that cloud will automatically change the position of the words upon each reload.

The Revival site is based on everything having its own box. There are boxes with their own colour and size to suit a specific purpose. Green boxes on the right, white in the middle, blue on the left.
However, look at the [url=http://www.radicalmiddleway.co.uk/]Radical Middleway[/url] site. It doesn't have so many boxes but there are spaces for featured articles, menus, intro. These spaces are then bordered off rather than each space having its own colour.
There is one dominant background colour on the RMW site (white) but the greens stand out. On the Revival however, white dominates only down the middle (even then it is only the background colour for the featured articles).
As for curves, have a look at the menu on the top left side of the [url=http://www.mpacuk.org/]MPACUK[/url] site and the Action Station box on the left.
