Comments, anyone?

It seems that even though I talk a lot, you people talk very little. I'll bet that you didn't even know that you can comment on any of my posts, did you? Yep, it's true! Look down at the bottom of this post. Just below all my ranting, It says, 'Posted by Morate at 11:38 AM     # comments.' If you click on '# comments', you can see what people have to say, and even say something yourself! If you seem to always have funny or insightful comments, I may even invite you to become an author of Herp of Derps... O.o

I have fancified. You're welcome.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, (unless you are incredibly unobservant,) my blog looks a little different. Here are the new features:
  • New background
  • New fonts
  • New link colors
  • New sidebar titles
  • New favicon (You may have to clear your cache to see this.)
  • New tabs feature
The background has a bit of a double meaning. The obvious one: it is the texture of a Nether portal from Minecraft. But wait! There's more! Today, April 20th, was the Day of Silence. I could describe it, but somebody else already did a much better job. Here's what they said (or didn't say):

Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness and making a commitment to address these injustices. Think about the voices you ARE NOT hearing today.

That's deep, man. Anyways, I'm not sure if it's just local or what, but in these parts, purple is the representative color for this movement. Therefore, not only did I participate in the Day of Silence and wear purple today, but I am dressing the blog up in purple too. Herp of Derps will remain purple for a few days to show my support. If you want a little more information on the Day of Silence, go here. Have a great weekend!
