That's Great, Guys...

So apparently there's this new whiz-bang template designer that you can use on Blogger. Except when I tried it out, Noscript started popping up warnings about possible cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

A while back my bank sent me a survey. No sarcasm, it really was my bank. But they used a third-party surveying company to do it, and the URL looked like http://baconbank.supersurveys.net/survey?id=sdhaljksdhklajsdhklasdhkjas

All you designers out there, seriously, pay attention here:

Spend the time to understand the technology you're using, and don't use known hacking techniques to do cool things with your design. It doesn't matter that it makes it cooler! OTHER PEOPLE USE IT FOR HACKING. It makes me not trust you.
