| I've reached a bit of a plato with my site, and altough I obviously now need
some more content, what could I do to improve it? Yes it works ok, but I want
it to be a good site when potential employers take a look.
Please go to www.fyrne.comhttp://www.fyrne.com
You can be as harsh as you like! Any comments on any part of the site most
appreciated :)

Only kidding :)
It's fine for a newbie, in fact it's very fine. Your code is a bit "Dan" and
you need to sort that out before you attack the layout. I'm not too sure
about the box style either but I'm sure as you progress you will make a very
good job out of this. Start reading some of the links that have been posted
in your other posts.

| Your code is rather messy.
1. There is unnecessary whitespace, e.g.,
<TABLE width=800 height=412 border=1 align=center cellPadding=0
cellSpacing=1 bordercolor="#663300"
bgColor=#666666>
(there appears to be a carriage return between #663300 and bgColor)
2. Your attributes are not in quotes, e.g.,
width=800 height=412
3. Your page has a valid and complete doctype -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
yet you are specifying table height, which will be ignored in this rendering
mode, since it is invalid HTML.
4. You have eschewed the use of CSS. By doing so you are cluttering your
page with <font> tags and presentational HTML markup, that could more easily
be done in a linked CSS file.
5. You are using some deprecated and poorly supported HTML attributes,
e.g.,
bordercolor="#663300"
bgColor=#666666
6. You have used the Text Align icon on the Property inspector when there
is often a better way -
<TD width="22%" align=left vAlign=top>
<div align="center">
<table width="133" border="0" align="left"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
instead of this -
<TD width="22%" align=left vAlign=top align="center">
<table width="133" border="0" align="left"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
or this -
<TD width="22%" align=left vAlign=top>
<table width="133" border="0" align="left"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
either of which can be obtained by using either the Horiz field or the Align
field of the Property inspector, respectively.
That's a quick functional/mechanical look for you. I'll let the others
comment on the design.

I'll follow up on all your advice and hopefully improve the site further still.
Thx for the techical stuff Murray - when I know what all of this means I will
implement it! :)

| Using a different color background for the table that contains the logo and
links would help to differentiate it from the content. There is too much
white background competing for attention.
Also I am not sure of the logic of having so many links to PDFs of magazine
articles. First off they are poorly scanned and hard to read. Also they open
a new window and clutter up the desktop. Retype the text from the article
and put it in your HTML if it is important. (Also if you do use a PDF I
think some magazines might give you one created from the original file)
Hope this helps.

| Thanks for this Tom - you're right - changing the background colours for the
template regions of the page is a top idea!
The PDF links is a tough one - i've tried to scan images so they are not too
big in size but able to be viewed. The actual content isn't vastly important
but I need people to see it is real published content. Perhaps I'll re-type it
all and then also have a link to the original just so they can see this.
Thanks,
james

| Yes, I have seen that Pablo has been helpful in other threads. Knowing that, I
can accept that his comments were tongue in cheek. But often times sarcasm
doesn't play well on a message board-and it's really frustrating to come to a
board that's meant to be helpful only to find people getting ripped up one side
and down the other for asking questions that to them are very relevant (check
out the Adobe Features Request boards to see what I mean-yikes!!). Not very
community friendly. Many of Pablo's comments in this thread certainly had that
feeling about them, hence my reaction. To James' credit it didn't seem to
bother him....!

I have "known" Pablo for years. I knew him when he first posted here as
"Paul", and was renamed "Pablo" by Mick of Mickweb, AKA "bewildered". I
know what to expect from him.
Personally, I wish he would not post this way on a public forum either. It
says something about the general tenor of responses here that I don't
particularly care for....
