Warning...possibly offensive statement ahead

The new layout at the top of the page here on Gay Authors sucks!!!!

I'm sorry to Myr or anyone else who might be offended by what I just said, but the fact is that it really does suck. For one thing, the Frequently Asked Questions banner seems to overlap into itself, and that's just the beginning.

The second part that sucks is the bold toolbar with the links that read Home, For Readers, For Writers, Forums, For Teens, Site Map andHelp

Maybe I'm just against change, but it seems like this change was a really bad idea. To me, it made more sense to have it the way it was. Also, there's no link to the E Fiction area at the top of the page anymore. Which brings me to my next complaint......

It was a bad idea to seperate the story anouncements

I know that they wanted it for the hosted authors only, but now the rest of us have no way to announce our work.....okay, I know we have the non hosted announcement section, but it's not the same. The hosted authors have people who regulary check their sites and forums for updates and who know all about them, but the rest of us are trying to get our work noticed and it seems like cutting us off from the real story announcement forum makes it twice as hard.

I hope I dont tick anyone off by saying this, but I just feel like I needed to say something.

Ok, now that I have that off of my chest, I can talk about things that make me happy

June 7 was me and Taylors aniversery. We officially became boyfreinds 3 years ago and I cant believe it's really been that long. Also, Taylor got his permit yesterday :wacko: :wacko: Ok, so why the confused face??? Because he's not that good of a driver yet Seriously, he needs to keep practicing. But he already got to take me for a ride and it was pretty cool. His parents let him drive us to Mc Author mall in Norfolk. I love that place. It's a huge mall, and my favorite place to eat, Jonny Rockets, is inside. We didn't eat there yesterday because we had something to eat at Nordstroms, which was okay. But I was a little ticked that the Haagen Daaz store wasnt open, because I wanted a smoothy.

So anyway, on the way home, Taylor and his dad were arguing and he almost took us on the wrong entrance on the freeway. We wanted to go east and he got in a long line of cars that was headed west to Portsmouth, then he made this huge scene in traffic getting over. The whole time, his dad was flipping out and Taylor was yelling at him to calm down and that he had everything under control(yeah right). Me and Taylors stepmom just sat in the back seat and held on for dear life once he got us back on the freeway going the right way.There was a traffic jam though, so we were barely moving. I think it was the first time I was ever glad to be stuck in a traffic jam on the freeway

Anyway, we lived, and Taylor and his dad went alone today to practice. If they make it back alive, we're going to a jazz festival down by the oceanfront later
