[thelist] Vertical Text

[.fox]

I recently did a design for my personal site where I used a left vertical
nav.
Some people thought it very progressive, where most found it annoying and
confusing.

People threw "usability" at me, and I thew "personal site" back at them, but
I ended up changing it anyway. Nonetheless, I still think it could be used
VERY well on some sort of ultra-artsy site.

Once we get everyone upgraded in-house (I set the browser standard for
intranet access) I'll be experimenting with vertical text as a graphical
element. Is that okay, amanda?

(Finally got around to looking at your site - beautiful use of side
scrolling. Just goes to show that breaking the rules is very cool, when you
do it right)
