okay, before someone gets the wrong idea, this has nothing to do with the compo.

I've got a new web site, so been playing around with my "EXISTING" web pages. I've been using php to make life easier and have these Gallery links.

One goal that I have always kept is to keep the site easily viweable by low bandwidth users.

I'm posting it here coz its pictures and conversions that I have up on the site.

I've changed the way people can view the images, just wondering what people think and if it works well.

Any comments?

very fast, very fast

lables for the pictures would be nice, as would gaps for when viewing all pictures.

a close button/text for the gallery window would be nice too.

was hoping for more comments, but I'm an impatient git and I only posted this yesterday.

Thanks for the comments.

Getting labels for each pic is going to be a challenge, as I'm dynamically creating the Gallery page.

I did consider a close button for the gallery, but as there's one already in the top right of the window ;) I thought it's be redundant, but the main reason why I didn't have it was not sure where to place it.

Thanks Jimbo, coz of your comment, I stayed in after work to update my web pages (probably would have ended up going home to play on the ps2 otherwise).

I have now two links (Single and All) from the same page. I'm a tester so always trying to reduce the amount of key clicks.

Ok here are my comments:

The Purple Type was hard to read on the one screen. I can read it fine here on this one. Not sure why.

The overall layout was fine, I had no issue with finding things.

Jimbos comments should be followed as he does know what he is doing on a site. :;):

Other then that, good work!

Hi Lextar,
nice site, especially the 'creator's path'/browse option, nice to see how it all evolved, with the option of finding what you're looking for easily if you're in a hurry. And I still can't help mention that Nurgle Titan which I liked so much! :D :D

In theory this should make it even easier.

Create an entry in the database matching the pictures with a text entry for each picture.

When creating the dynamic pages add the field below the field for the pictuer.

Bravo. Very well done.

Nice work, I did have problems using the creators path this time, not sure why, but it really didn't go anywhere (it worked fine on previous visits so I'll try again later and see what happens). I agree that spaces between pictures would be better but other than those, a great site.

:D

Thanks for all the feedback.

Justiniel - The web server seems to have some glitches, so just click refresh and hopefully things work. Sometime my images don't load, but as soon as I refresh, it comes up instantly.

Jimbo - Database  :O My skills haven't evolved that far yet.

I'm planning to re-do the front pages at the moment, (always trying to reduce number of clicks for return visitors)...

anyway, the updates page (or Creator's Path) at the moment I have the latest update at the bottom.

Do people prefer the latest info at the top (I know many web sites that does that)?

What do people think?

At the top is much better- you don't have to fiddle around scrolling down if you've seen the old updates already.

Thanks for the response. I've switched the updates around now.


When the oldest at the top, it seems like you're standing at the start of your life looking at your life play before you.

When the newest at the top, it seems like you're standing at the end of you life looking back at your life that's past.
