mdwyer -> Thin skin, but.. (2/1/2002 11:44:38)

Ok, I took a stab at upgrading my web site. I still see some ohmigawd winces, it has a long way to go, I am a newbie, it will be perfect later, etc, etc...

But seriously, I bet you experienced folk see some bonehead html code here that I have no clue about, so if you let me have it, that would be great...

Oh yeah, and where do comment forms go? On my site, into the abyss (funny, huh?), but how do I go get them...

...funny how no one ever says I am all done and it is perfect, but you can look at it if you want

Don't sell yourself short there Matt. I think it looks pretty darn good. I am curious as to the need for the "Enter Page" though. It just holds the visitor at bay for another click. Also, I clicked on a couple of the images and was expecting something slightly larger but if allowing the visitor to view the images is what you want to do fine. I comment only because I have been known to insert (thumbnail) images without removing the link myself. Oh, and you might also want to change the link to http://www.dwyer.com For some reason it just opens an Outfront page as it is.

Sorry, I forgot. The results of your Comments form are being sent to the _private folder. It may be as csv or txt file. Open the form in FP and right click on any of the form fields and click form properties. It should tell you what the exact file name is to look for.

I think, therefore I am, I think.

Thanks, Mike.
Yeah, enter page is worthless, but gee it came with the theme so I used it! Guess I can save home.htm as index.htm?

Thumbnails, yeah, originally I just used the slightly larger images (which were reduced about 4x using Thumbs+)! Then I panicked looking at the FP2002 estimated 28.8 d/l times for the pages, and reading here that I should keep d/l to 10 seconds (?) and made thumbnails... silly tho, since images are hardly bigger at all.

I will check the directory for the form file, thanks.

Whoops, I copied Index.htm to Home.htm and forgot about the top navbar... ooopsie

Hi Matt,
I just looked at your site using Microsoft XP with IE 6.0. The site loaded EXTREMELY fast considering my modem connection of 28.8. I encountered no problems.

Thanks, John, good to know. I am so used to dsl, I am badly spoiled.

Hi mdwyer-side to side scroll on http://www.dwyer.com/whatwedo.htm. Probably just a table set to pixels instead of %. Your site needs meta tags (each page.) At least title, description and keyword. Looks good. Real good layout of content.

I have a new site that is being reviewed in this forum all about meta tags. http://optimet0.tripod.com/ I would like your input about mine. Too much going on?

Your site looks excellent, very useful. I will have do some research on meta-tags, I am ignorant obviously.

The movie doesn't do anything for me, but the layout is very slick overall.

Matt
