Scatterism's Bulb

Scatterism: I went to this guy’s site because he commented on one of my posts. I clicked the light bulb in the header to go to the home page. It didn’t take me home, but it did something kinda cool.

What a great idea! ;o)

Is clicking the bulb merely aesthetic or is there a functional purpose that I am missing?

It has a very functional purpose. Not all of us can stand those white text on dark backgrounds sites. I'm pretty sure the other way arround also holds truth.

I knew it defied a usability guideline--the big header should take you home--but I wanted it to be a subtle surprise for my readers.

You're right Alejandro, it has a functional purpose, that's why Scatterism tries to remember your dark/light preference.

I'm glad you all liked it. Thanks Deane.
