Yes, I have finally gotten off my butt and begun my personal site, inspired mainly by people here. It's not nearly finished yet, but the basic structure and design is ready for review. Before we get to the link, a few words about what the site is and what I'm looking for in terms of reviews. It is basically an online journal, a place for me to rant and rave about whatever I want. So keep in mind that it is a personal site, and I have no business aspirations whatsoever. I haven't actually begun the journal (the main page is just greeking), and there isn't much in the way of content yet, but there should be enough in the way of filler to give you an idea of what the site will look like with the content in place. At this stage I would appreciate comments on technical aspects of the site, what doesn't work in which browser and platform, etc. I would also like to hear about usability issues, things that confused you or pissed you off. The design is pretty much the way I want it, so any comments on design may be ignored. Don't let that stop you from saying what's on your mind, though. Finally, a few caveats: 1) This site is currently on my ancient account at Tripod, which means you're going to get mad pop-ups. I apologize for this--I will be looking into getting some real hosting when I get back from Thailand in January. 2) Thanks to the JavaScript Tripod inserts into my pages, your choice of style sheets will not be remembered from page to page (or visit to visit). Since this site won't be on Tripod for long, I'm not going to bother fixing it. Here's the link: [url=http://hwarang_.tripod.com/liminality/index.html]Liminality[/url] [Edit: OK, after a few comments on the menu, I did up two more quick versions of the front page... [url=http://hwarang_.tripod.com/liminality/index_alt2.html]Menu at top[/url] [url=http://hwarang_.tripod.com/liminality/index_alt.html]Menu at top and bottom[/url]] There are a few more specific issues I would like to discuss... 1) I ran my pages through the XHTML validator, and the only error I get is that "alt" is not an attribute. If I take it out, though, it gives me an error because "alt" is missing. I've given up trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Anyone have any ideas? 2) Is there a way to deactivate hover in CSS once it's been activated? More specifically, I have hover specified for my links, but this does weird things on my thumbnail page in Mozilla and Opera. I ended up just setting the hover for the thumbnail links to the background color, making the hover invisible, but I was wondering if there was a way to remove the hover all together. 3) I only have one set of photos up right now, mostly for demonstration. Seeing how much of a hassle it is to make a separate page for each photo, I'm wondering if PHP might not be a better way to go about things. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about PHP. I guess I'll have to work on that. 4) If you read the About page, you'll see that I am currently agonizing over the posting interval (weekly, daily, etc.). If anyone wants to add their thoughts on this, I would appreciate it. 5) I also can't figure out what's up with the style switching. The content area changes color first, and then the rest of the page follows, with the background image coming in later. It's really weird, and I've never seen this problem on other sites. I'm wondering if it's Tripod again... Well, I guess that's it. I'm sure I screwed something up somewhere, so let me have it with both barrels. :D (Oh, I also didn't add encoding to the individual picture pages, since I don't think individual pages is going to be my final solution.)
