Changes to my site

sheets I have ever seen! Really puts thing into perspective!

OK - I notice that while all us experts were over in the corner arguing over fonts and CSS and such, you were working on your site...

It now displays correctly on MSIE, Konqueror and Firefox. Don't own one of those wussy overpriced Macs, so I can't comment there... Although you have retained the use of explicitly positioned layers, I believe you can call it a success...

Now maybe I can actually READ the darned thing...

Good Job.

FWIW,

I read over more of the material tonight, and other than a few observations such as "chinchy" vs. "chintzy" and other such regional semantics, it looks great. I assume you are still working on the "Handplanes" page, as it still has problems with the location of the pictures overlapping the text.

I might suggest that the links that open up off-site links be changed to include the command: target = "_blank". This will open a new browser window or tab instead of navigating away from your site when someone clicks a link. You might consider doing this with the enlarged pop-up photos as well.

An example would be the publisher link on the home page:

FWIW, JMHO, etc.

Thank you. You'll note that I followed your advice...before I read your post. That is, you'll note that if you go back to the site.

Mighty fine. Most of us are definitely ego-centric when it comes to our sites ... it's refreshing to see a more balanced approach.

I want to eventually balance the site between selling my books and my services. I'm starting with the services because so darned many of my books are now out of print. By late mid-year next, that will change a little bit. I hope. The kind of raising I got doesn't make me comfortable with tooting my own horn, but these days, there's no other way.

Charlie.. I do a few sites for folks and have many of the same problems that you encounter.. One easy though non-artistic short cut is to stick to arial and times roman as much as you can, assuming that most folks have those fonts on their computers....

Other issues are different screen resolutions and different browsers.... One of my clients love Netscape, so I have to optimize it for that POS and view it on NS to see the same thing that he's seeing... different line spacing, etc. than other browsers..

Please remove splinters before emailing

I'm not. I know mine is crappy, but I did it all myself, hard coded using a text editor. Just like all those projects on ABPW. :-)
