Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started

Fugly Friday : Yvette's Bridal
My optometrist was insistent that I not remove the bandages for another 24 hours. He also said I might have done less damage to myself if, instead of searching for today's Fugly Friday, I'd tried something safer like scouring my own eyes with a gentle bath of rock salt. He also said something about a fork. As I laughed, encased in my world of darkness and unable to see his face, a chill came over the room and I suddenly realized he wasn't joking. So, before clicking on the misery that is Yvette's Bridal, just remember, you've been warned. According to the source, Yvette's was crafted (or rather, bludgeoned) into existence using Yahoo SiteBuilder. Once my eyes heal completely, I'll be mounting a campaign to have SiteBuilder banned as a dangerous munition.
From what I'm told, in more socially conscious jurisdictions, possession of SiteBuilder is already highly criminalized, or at least relegated to downtrodden neighborhoods where it can be segregated from productive society. Sure, they provide prophylactic templates -- and many of them don't take visual assault to an aggravated degree -- but, given SiteBuilder is capable of constructing maliciously eye-gouging wonders like Yvette's, it should at the very least require a background check, and a three day waiting period before you're allowed to download.

Thanks for sharing your obviously well-honed powers of observation, Christian.

Wow I thought you where exaggerating until I clicked the link, that had to be done purposely, no one could unwittingly make a site that hideous.

Anything coming out of the yahoo site-builder is going to be complete and total crap

Anybody considering laser eye surgery? Yvette's is a bit like that.

the best part of the site is....
1) there is a cgi shrine in the middle of the page???
2) in between there is link to a cake recipe(o not yvette's orginal , but with a link from duncanhines)
3) the amazing use of all 255 color combination for text and backgrounds
4) and of course bagpipes...scream wedding to me
5) i guess they were basing the home page on a japanese ad they saw...they hint at it from the random japanese text

Looks real enough to me. Google-ate "Yvette's Bridal Panama City" and there they are.

This has to be the funniest site I've ever seen so far.
