quisja Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: everywhere Insane since: Jun 2002	posted 07-31-2002 12:10 Hi, I would apprecite a quick few words about the site I am creating for my band; The MINDLESS. The content is non-existant I know, but then the site hasn't gone public yet so that isnt really the main issue. The only things that I am really interested in is where I might want to take the site from here, and if there are any niggles.

Suho1004 Maniac (V) Inmate From: Seoul, Korea Insane since: Apr 2002	posted 07-31-2002 13:23 OK, I understand that the one-word-a-line thing is supposed to be an effect of sorts, and it might not have been bad if it was a short sentence. But it's long, and I've got to tell you that I found it very annoying. I'll be honest with you, after I scrolled down to see just how much text there was beyond the fold, I stopped reading. it was that annoying. Having lines that are too long is bad for readability, but so is having lines that are too short. Like I said, I understand it's an "effect," but I'm not sure if it is worth it. The content in the "about" section caught me by surprise, but I'm assuming that's not your final copy. Also, there appears to be an error on the page (that's what IE says). And I'm a bit confused now. When I click on the "home" link, the text loses its formatting and goes wall-to-wall. So maybe the first paragraph above is moot? I can't tell whether or not the one-word-a-line effect was done on purpose or not... Lastly, I don't mind the background, but it's apparently designed for a specific resolution (I'm guessing 800x600), and anything above that leaves some real ugly white space on the right... Those are just my impressions. Time to iron out the niggles, I suppose. Cell 270

I'm not sure what to do about the white space however (i am developing on 1024z768 so it's very apparent), because the page uses absolute positioning there is no way of even centering the block using a <div>. And what's more is there a way of stopping horizontal scrolling without stopping vertical scrolling like <body style="overflow:hidden"> would, else the 800px wide images generate horizontal scroll bars on 800x600. (That trash content was just there to check the links all worked by the way). And I thought this was gonna be a simple quick 2 hour project. "i miss me, i miss everything i'll never be"

I tried it once a year or so back but it didn't work out too well. I'm also seeing overlapping errors at anything under 1152x846 and white space for anything above that. Nix that lense flare and smooth out the jaggies on the text. I think you should stick to simple HTML for now. Move on to the more complex CSS once you've got a nice clean HTML site.
