Spooky theme, eh? Ghost story still coming up, that’s why. There’s also a donkey included for all you donkey lovers.

I know it’s totally schizophrenic to change the site design so often, but it’s fun to play around.

The banner is a view of the Todra valley, not Tinerhir - most photos of this panorama are incorrectly labelled. There is also a ghost palm tree. Did you know that if you plant a male and female palm tree next to each other, they’ll slowly lean over and intertwine their fronds? It’s like Philemon and Baucis! Also, if a palm stops producing dates, they burn it. The next year, it starts producing again. Seems very human - like someone stuck in a rut, who goes through a “trial by fire,” and changes their life as a result, becoming productive and fruitful again. Hm.

“It is good to know the truth, but it is better to speak of palm trees. - Arab Proverb”

If you must have music play when someone visits your site, have a button readily available that allows the user to stop it if they like.

Good : Refusenik

Bad : http://wackocrazy.blogspot.com/ (If you visit this site, be sure to turn down your volume first.)

Every now and then I get bored and want to change the theme. Feel free to complain/suggest/compliment - but please note that I included the donkey!

I’ve also never used a dark theme - I think they’re harder to read - but it doesn’t hurt to experiment, I suppose.
