I recently put together a (very) basic website for my wife, that allows me to put little 'thinking of you' cards on it for her to see. It's fairly rudimentary, but she loves it.
When I went to her office to take her out to lunch the other day, I was shocked to see that she had printed out each of the cards (basically business card format) and taped them to her wall.
I've been thinking of expanding the idea and allowing for logins (as it currently has zero backend code, just HTML for the page and JS/AJAX to see browse the archive), but thought it might be fairly one-off.
This has just changed my mind.
- noonespecial 17y agoOoh! Give it a twitter @somethinorother listener and an auto-refresh tag so she can just leave it up and you can twitter a new message in anytime. Dammit, now I'm inspired too. Just when I thought I might get free time...

- bmelton 17y agoIt wouldn't work with the format it's in, as they're images, not text. I mean, they're mostly textual images, but they're images, just the same. I've found it's actually done wonders for my Photoshop skills too, as it has taught me better use of typography, color theory, and (as I got bored with the simplistic format) more actual graphic design technique as I started incorporating backgrounds (some lifted from others, some hand-drawn) to them as well.
