simpsora 0 #3 March 1, 2005 An excellent idea (for all web developers) is to periodically run your site through a validator during development, to make sure that your code is valid according to the doctype you're using (html 4 transitional, in your case): http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.bouda.moonfruit.com/ From the look of your code and the output of the validator, it seems like you may have used an HTML editor (a la Dreamweaver) to write the HTML. Nothing wrong with that, but beware that many of them don't output valid HTML. This might seem like a minor point, but when you get a report that 'your site doesn't work in my browser!', you'll know where to go Also, you might consider shrinking the size of the background image / flash. I have to scroll to see it all in 1280x1024 resolution, and a lot of people use a lower res than that. Otherwise, looks cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaoskitty 0 #5 March 1, 2005 You have "Fravorite Art" instead of "Favorite Art". What do you want people to leave their thoughts on? Your menus are disorganized. You are obviously artsy-fartsy so maybe you did it that way on purpose? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,106 #7 March 1, 2005 Form follows function. Without knowing the purpose of the site, it's hard to say. What content will attract people? What will they get from it?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heidihagen 0 #9 March 2, 2005 Quotehard to read the small bright red text over the background which may be a copywrite infringement since it's MC Escher's i think i would work, but you need to change the background or at least fade ithey-looks great. i like escher as well.... but a watermark (fading) is a good idea. he's probably been dead long enough where copyright isn't an issue. his prints are all over... plus it's a personal webpage, you're not profiting off of it. but i noticed some of your skydiving pix has some houston jumpers. so i'm assuming you didn't take them. you might want to give credit/link to the videographer's website (flyingarab? josh hill?). nice menu -- maybe set the sub menu to the side a bit, so when you click each category it's not so "jumpy" i would post the page i'm working on, but it's for an elementary school in so. cal. not exactly cool. have fun i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #10 March 2, 2005 Who took the pictures? Do you have their permission to place them on your site?May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidihagen 0 #11 March 2, 2005 i asked the same thing. speaking of giving credit where credit is due... i saw your pic on the inside cover of parachutist this month!!!! how did they get so close under canopy? how exciting! very cool pic as well i didn't lose my mind, i sold it on ebay. .:need a container to fit 5'4", 110 lb. cypres ready & able to fit a 170 main (or slightly smaller):.[/ce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
