Personally, I would much rather read & display personal messages versus the copied & pasted tags.
I log on at work so I definitely don't want the Adult Hump Day or Freaky Friday ones.
Don't get me wrong because I love graphics & some of your pages are very nice. It makes my page hopping that much more enjoyable.
The tags, however, take me back to my BlackPlanet days & currently MySpace (which I loathe). With BP you did have the option to turn HTML off.
No disrespect to anyone who has left one for me, cause I still *heart* all y'all!!
My feelings won't be hurt if I don't get a "It's the Weekend Baby" or "Kiss My Ass" tag.
XOXO
