10 Jun 00 - 05:26 PM (#240902) Subject: RE: Click here From: Jeri Kara, you might want to think about lower resolution images - I never did get the entire page loaded. So who designed the erotic Celtic knot thingie? |

10 Jun 00 - 05:33 PM (#240907) Subject: RE: Click here From: Clinton Hammond2 A background like that, I'm not surprised you have a headache... You may want to dim the colours of the background knot (neat knot though!) so that the text shows up better... I had the same problem on my page for a while until I found a more subdued background.... Just a suggestion... {~` |

10 Jun 00 - 06:05 PM (#240915) Subject: RE: Click here From: Jon Freeman Kara, the content seems OK but I couldn't get into the Electrozen page. I think that you do need to review you choice of colours on the main page as I found it very difficult to read. Also, the main page and the Joseph Schnieder set took pages to download, perhaps as mentioned above, you could use lower resolution images. I hope I don't sound too miserble but things like text that is hard to read and slow downloads will put visitors of going to your site and people like me are quite likely to leave without even bothering to struggle to read text or wait ages for a page to complete its download.

10 Jun 00 - 06:12 PM (#240917) Subject: RE: Click here From: MudGuard Kara, you should create small versions of the images instead of using a big image which you resize using width and height. Even for these small versions one has to download the big image which takes quite some time (and for most people money as online time costs). And the background really makes it hard to read the text. Same goes for green letters on black background - use different colors or at the very least bold letters. MudGuard |

11 Jun 00 - 01:56 AM (#241001) Subject: RE: Click here From: Sorcha Well, I went there, and got a very quick lime green page, which had black print, and was not too difficult to read, and then before I could read it, was transferred to a white page with blue knots and small pictures. I clicked on each of the pictures, and got a "could not be displayed" for all three. When I did the "back" thing, I was sent back to the white page, and then back to the Mudcat, not the green page........however, at Midnite, Mountain Daylight Time, USA, it was not slow at all. |

11 Jun 00 - 04:10 AM (#241028) Subject: RE: Click here From: MudGuard Sorcha, the green page is the same as the one with the celtic knots. It has a body with a background color of 00ff80 which is a slightly bluish green. It also has a background image defined (the white background with the celtic knots). The browser sees the green background command first, so it makes the green background. Then it takes some time till the background image is loaded, and as soon as it is loaded it replaces the green background. When you go back to that page, the background image is in your browser's cache and thus will be displayed immediately. So on your way back you won't see the "green" page. MudGuard |

11 Jun 00 - 04:54 AM (#241032) Subject: RE: Click here From: Kara Thank you for all the hints and tips. I designed the celtic note myself . I did if for our wedding invitations but thought it would be a shame to leave it at that. I will try and reduce the size of images Thank you Kara |

11 Jun 00 - 05:58 AM (#241038) Subject: RE: Click here From: Banjer Since I am currently toying with a web page myself it was good experience to see this one. I t is abit hard to read and slow to load. I'm sure you will overcome these things and I will attempt to avoid them in mine. I had been having problems with picture size and appreciate the suggestion made to create a smaller, low res image. Ah, the wonders of modern technology!!!! |

12 Jun 00 - 05:18 PM (#241630) Subject: RE: Click here From: Homeless Kara - I can't get to the Eletrozen page either - reason being that in the link you put "electrozen.htm" instead of "electrozen.html". If you'd like, I can subdue the colors on your picture and e-mail it back to you. PM me if you're interested. |
