Your redesign looks good. I like the colors. I don't know what you mean that Dreamweaver "sux at making proper links." I find it is the best of its type (graphic wsiwyg). FrontPage sux! The only thing that bothers me is the yellow text under your name. It's got the 'jaggies'. What about a graphic made with photoshop? The text on the "Other Loves" page isn't set to the top and has a large white space there. And, of course, I want to see larger pics... but, that's just me. *wink*

Hey Jawn,

I like it. But of course, being a designer, I do have a few thoughts...

* Your background image of the trees is distorted and saved as a .gif, it should be resized and saved as a .jpg to make it look it's finest.

* That border, some vertical line in the table at the top, in the middle, that has to go. (Ah, you can't see that on a mac!) Nevermind.

* I'd like a bit more margin around the body text. It's creating some tension that makes it "less easy" to glean through... This is minor, but hey - you asked.

Oh, the rest of it, it's all minor stuff. It really does look GREAT, and more importantly, it READS well. It is EASY to navigate. Kudos.

Anyways, back to the visual stuff. I pulled your site locally and fiddled with it in Dreamweaver for a few minutes. I tweaked a few things...

* Added a style sheet to keep font formatting in one place and "massaged" formats a little...

* fixed a few images (they weren't all 150pixels wide) and did other little things like remove the type from the bottom of the "shift" photo)

* Revisited your table structure, just cause it made it easier for me to adjust things.

* Created a new leaf photo, properly sized, that tiles (repeats without a seam)

Yada yada yada. Here, take a look yourself.

Great background color and really cool design. Now that you're an expert, would you mind doing mine?

mmm. tasty!

need to do something like that, except in lieu of "human" I'd just state the obvious, that i'm an "earth-born alien freak" :)

y dijo "es bueno"...

Looks good, easy to read. How often should one check back for updates?

I'm just enjoying finding out what happened to the Egans after they got on the boat! And I particularly like your dislikes!
Grand site! Lovely!

It's good. The text is enjoyable. It's easy to navigate. It has hawt pix of you. And a few of His Other Hawtness. Thumbs up.

Very nice job Jawn.. But why the PhD rubric?

good enough... I think it all depends on context.. on a CV I generally indicate credentials.. otherwise, especially dealing with informants, etc, it's a bit off-putting
