Christopher, make my blog do the thing!

Christopher has been working on this big huge mothership of a website, and he launched it today, hooray! He was just showing it to me and it's this complex thing with lots of links and FAQs and fancy things that I don't know the technical terms for, and really, it's much smarter than I am, this website, and I'm kind of in awe that my boyfriend built it with his very own brain. There was this cool thing where whenever there's a difficult word within the text (and there's a lot, FYI. It's a financial site) you can click on it and the definition shows up in a little magic box, like VH1 pop-up videos except square and without the annoying sound. I said, "that's supercool can you make my blog do that?" and he said, "I sure can!" So I thought it would be fun if my definitions showed up in magic boxes. Not Webster's definitions. MY definitions. Like, say you clicked on the word "Webster's" two sentences back. The pop-up box would say: a two-story wine bar where 2d Story is performed and fine cheese is served. And if you clicked on "cheese" in the last sentence it would say: Megan enjoys Brie of the triple creme variety, or a nice herb havarti. And if you clicked on "Megan" it would bring up a little picture of me, like maybe the one where I'm in Prague, and I just got my absentee ballot in the mail, and the package includes a plastic magnifier so people with poor eyesight can read their ballots, and I held the magnifier over my mouth and smiled. So in the picture, I look like the Cheshire cat. My mouth is bigger than my whole head.
