Preserved Topic: updated my site

at first I wasn't in love with my new design, but I liked its prototype better than any of the other half-dozen or so prototypes I'd tried recently. the more I worked with the new design, the more I liked it, and the less I liked the old design.<P>yes, the first page is supposed to be pretty cryptic... it should all be clear after that, though:<P><A HREF="http://www.best.com/~calyxa/" TARGET="caly">http://www.best.com/~calyxa/</A><P>-calyxa<P>------------------

Simple, clever, easy to get round....Bryce ummmmmmmmmm - love it sooooo much. Nice Calyxa, real nice. <IMG SRC="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"><P>------------------

While the site definitely is pretty, the navigation is not intuitive and confused me. I am not a big fan of pure object navigation and after spending the last hour at Flander's site reading about Mystery Meat Navigation, your site follows his model of bad navigation design.<P>------------------

heh, I just finished the 'mystery meat' article myself.<P>if my site was a business with products and/or services for sale, I'd agree with you.<P>but it is not a business, it's a personal gallery and it's supposed to have some element of mystery to it.<P>
thank you both for your comments.<P>-calyxa<P>------------------

Your site is pretty interesting, but the navigation has me a little flamboozled. It's kind of like watching the old star trek series and wondering how Uhura and Sulu knew what buttons to push because none of them had labels. I'm also a stickler for having easy navigation, but if you're looking for a little mystery for your site, I think you've found it.<P>I really like Bryce stuff! I'm hoping some kind soul will give it to me for my birthday this year so I can add little poser people to all the pretty landscapes. <P><P>"He was murdered, and someone is responsible!" - from Plan 9 From Outer Space

Cool design, simple and very original. I have to make myself look smart and say "good use of roll-over graphics". Using the same graphics for the roll-overs cuts down loading time, but you dont pre-load anything.<P>kind of puzzling...<P>
