Mad Libs style forms

In the short while since this site launched, I’ve had basically two kinds of email. The first is the kind I was secretly hoping for, expressing interest in my Magic in Type project. But the second caught me totally by surprise. I’ve actually had several people ask how I created that “Mad Libs” style fill-in-the-blank contact form.

It’s such a simple little thing but it seems to have struck a chord with several website visitors. It feels a little strange to write a whole post about it (as it’s not in any way groundbreaking)… but enough people have inquired, that I thought it might be nice to write up the process.

Poll – Next Magic in Type project

Help me decide on my next Magic in Type project

Trying to decide which Disneyland attraction should be the subject of my next “Magic in Type project should be. I’ve started on the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Main Streen Train Station and The Haunted Mansion… I love them all so much, I just need a little help deciding on which one to focus on.
