In a PM with CashewGuy, I just described switching from the style "Dark" to "Spring" as such, "WOW, it's a helluva difference. Like switching from hubskiing with Tom Waits to Papa Smurf."
Using "Spring" as a style has made my Hubski experience much more, well... "springy."
What style do you use? Why?
1. Did you know that you can go in to your Hubski settings and change your style?
2. Did you know that there is a zen mode?
3. Did you know that there is a bio section?
4. Did you know that you can embed a photo in your bio section? Here's mine:

Shot Coke up my nose at #10. That's adorable! I like these "Did You Knows?" Opens new Hubski windows to look out of.
Glad to see someone's keeping the party goin'...Shot coke up my nose at #10
Started with "dark" as my default and now it hurts my brain if I try anything else. Old habits. For some reason 30 had me laughing out loud in the Costco parking lot where I was reading it (because hanging out on Hubski is way better than being inside Costco... but that's true of a lot of things). Thanks for this list, needed it tonight. Also, have you seen the rest of Neely's stuff? Pure gold, all of it.
I wanted to make some joke about it being somehow fitting that illuminated wasn't quite up to technological snuff untill I remembered that the places where illuminated manuscripts were fashioned back in the day were essentially among the most advanced centers for information technology on the planet in their time...
Re: #30: Today I learned I'm basically a possum.
This is such a fantastic list. So many new things learned! I use dark, almost always have except when I first came here and used snow for some reason..
Oh man, zen mode.. I'm gonna use it for a week and see what happens.
I use spring too! It just feels better. Reminds me that hubski is a lil different than the rest.
It was a bit too springy for me. I'm back to Darkski. I tend to switch between dark and clean.
