My little strand of the web - 4/20/2006 0:11:17
Hey there,
This is my little strand of the web written for my current travels, blog and as a showcase of my skills as a web developer. It is still growing, and I want to re-work the photo section to categorize the photos more and add a search. That, and there's rather a lot in there now.

I'm currently in Sydney looking for work, but hope to spend a bit of time fine-tuning and re-designing the interface. I do like the alternative stylesheets, but I may remove them, or trim them down as I'm not sure they add much to the site other than showing what CSS2 can be used for.
What do you think?

Hi Greg
You've done a great job there, very well built and interesting too!
There's not much I could add really that isn't being really picky - I think it might look better with a line-height of 140% just because it is quite small text.
Far as the alternative styelsheets go - I think that they probably are generally not needed. I'd keep the magnified version and maybe if you get time do a zoom version (big text, dark background light text). Some of the alternate versions are harder to read due to the colour contrast of text and background and don't have the balance of your original.
I'd also put the switches themselves on your help page as it took a while for me to figure out where they were (I thought the CSS2 link was one of those validation link thingies!).
Nice work!

Welcome to Outfront Greg, lovely site and great to see another Aussie here!
No criticisms really, similar to Tail's comments, text size or font just looked a bit odd to me, I was thinking more along the lines of taking the sharpness of black text on white to something like #eee and #444 or changing the font to verdana or georgia, Don't get me wrong, I like arial though.
Loved your photos, you ask "what next" and I notice you haven't been to Tasmania, many great photo opportunities down there y'now!
Oh, and btw, there's no "e" in Domino's.
Nicole
