Fun Webby Thing

Okay, now, this goes in steps.

  1. Click on this link It's to Marja-Leene's blog. She makes prints and things. The importance of this information will be plain in a moment. I never waste words, you know.
  2. If you clicked on the link already, you won't be able to read this next step. Once you've sorted yourself out and figured exactly how and where you screwed up (it's not my fault, take some responsibility already), and have come back here, let me know. I'll wait.
  3. Back yet? Good. Now, what you do is you click on that link up there— no, not now!
  4. Bloody hell. You people. Look, once you've mastered the whole of these instructions, which I'm composing at great trouble to myself and all for your benefit, click on the above link.
  5. Are we to Step 2 yet? Thank dog. Okay, you'll note that there's a lovely picture pops up, it's a madeprintthing. Click on the picture, it won't hurt it, it will actually fulfill its destiny. It will probably wriggle a bit in delight, though not too much since there's laws against that sort of thing. This is Canada, after all, not the fleshpots of the Orient.
  6. Read a bit, there's cool stuff there, and more nice pictures.
  7. Now that you've sated yourself with entries of pith and moment, rather than mindless blithering of the sort I specialize in, use the [back] button of your browser to return here.
  8. Did you happen to notice on the way that a different picture of a wholly unique madeprintthing popped up? Because it did, and if you didn't notice, you likely won't enjoy the rest of this exercise, so perhaps you'd better give up now.
  9. Those who are left, at will, may at this point use the [forward] button of their browser to click through to Marja-Leene's site once again, all the way to the page with the writing on it, and then back to here. Repeat until tired; you should see a succession of madeprintthing pictures, and very pretty they all are, too.

If you need, you can print out these instructions so as to have them handy while you traverse to and fro. If you're worried about trees and the environment and stuff, then just use a different browser window.

    what a riot!! at first I did not understand this “game” …then it hit me…and I’m rolling with laughter…you are clever, pericat!

    thanks for the unique & unforgettable coverage.

    credit for the splash design go to my son-in-law who set it up and taught me how to blog.

    PS. To the other readers…a little tip in case you got lost: just click on your refresh button repeatedly to change the splash image on this opening main page.

    Sorry, pericat, if I give the game away…just feel sorry for those who might not understand some of these tricks ( that would be me just a few weeks ago!)

    Have fun!

    Refresh didn’t give me near the variety that paging back and forth did. Might’ve been just plain luck, though.

    A beautiful site; thanks for the link.

    And, have you ever thought of a career in writing instruction booklets for dangerous machines?

    Just a thought.

    “If, upon completion of the previous step, you are bleeding from a major artery, press the red button.”

    She does do nice work, doesn’t she? Have you seen the things that look like combinations of trilobites and thumbprints?

    Maybe?
