# Hi-jack!
I'm an HTML novice, but I have finally got my website kicking along nicely. It's not 100% finished yet, but I was wondering if any of you kind B3tans would maybe have a look and give me some feedback?

Thank you in advance. *puppy eyes*

too bad for a first time - although there are some bad links in the writings section (backslashes where there should be forward slashes). and your links page doesn't work either. (rather ironic, really)

# Really?
It works fine from here...

*confused*

(Can you give me an example for one of the bad links too? Just so I can have a look, cos everything seems ok from here. *gulp*)

Thank you, btw.

# the gallery bit
is fairly slow to load because you aren't using thumbnailed versions of the pictures (so it has to load them all one at a time). nice pictures though :)

# Thanks :)
Did you see my apology to you earlier, btw? The rant wasn't aimed at you :\

# Yup
TNR is a god awful horrible font..

Check links and make sure the pages you say will be there are there.. Nothing worse than coming soon or under construction..

# Thanks for the feedback.
The font's the least of my worries at the moment - shouldn't be too hard to change - I was more worried about the mechanics at first.

What font would you suggest? Can you think of something pseudo-'futuristic' that would fit with the design?

# just choose a sans-serif font
arial, verdana, tahoma etc

# the images on the start page
could do with alt tags

# What
do you suggest? Just "this will take you to the writing section" sort of thing?
(I helped save b3ta! watashi-wa Evenin'!, Wed 23 Oct 2002, 18:00, archived)
# yep
that is precisely whatcha want

# And your side bar images
are 176 X 1513 and over 70K

Could be around 20k as a compressed jpg (although still a bit big..)

# Good point :)
I never access it at home (crappy 56k modem) so I didn't even click with that.

I'll look into it. Cheers.
