    Thumbs up New web site

    Well, after dithering about doing a kilt website for over a year, I finally got off my butt today and came up with this... http://www.nucleus.com/~agingles/kilts.html

    It's not done, but any comments, criticisms, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

    Thoughts

    It looks okay for a personal webpage. My only advice would be watch your paragraphs. The first couple in particular, seem to go on for quite a while and it'd like more ashetically pleasing if it could be broke up into two or maybe three paragraphs.

    Ever play around with Dreamweaver? You've got the basics ready to drop in a few frames. Lots of fun!

    Thanks for the comments! I just added another pic and a few links.

    Blu...I've never even heard of Dreamweaver, let alone messed with it. I built that page with Netscape Composer. Very basic, but it serves my needs right now. I'll look into Dreamweaver, though.

    Elijah...good call on the paragraphs. I just did a little rearranging on the page, hopefully it looks better now.

    My advice, the text is way too big, puts me off reading it.
    smaller text (14pt say) in a neat paragraph would make it reader friendly.

    Otherwise, nice job!

    For some strange reason, when I uploaded the page to the web it increased the font size. I'll have to see what I can do about that. Thanks, Graham. :-)

    Yeah, I'm with Graham on this. Having the font so big makes your eyes move around too much while reading it - breaks up the flow of thought.

    Looks good otherwise. 8)
