950px. The right-hand buttons sit atop the middle ones.
2. Consider renaming the CSS file to something other than
"indexpage.css" as it seems to be used on all pages. Not wrong, just
confusing to those who may read source.
3. The headings in the bordered box (i.e. "The latest iteration of
Ulujain.org") could use some padding between the words and the border,
or remove the border altogether.
4. The contact.shtml page says "This website is 100% XHTML 1.0" when
in fact you are using a 1.1 doctype. <g> Also, why not include a
contact form on the page, instead of just an email address that the
user must hand-type?
5. "Incunabulae There are four pages to this." Why not write a small
description of the story, and add " (four pages)" to it?
6. "You can read <a href="(link)">questions</a> that nobody ever asks
me." rather than using "ever asks me" as the link, or maybe even
include "questions that nobody" within the anchor.
Except for 1. these are all small, somewhat nitpicky, comments. The
site is well done.

percentage size. On nearly every other page on my site, the nav menu has
, atthe most, 4 links. The index one has 6, which does present a problem
with a reduced viewport.
I guess I could dispense with it altogether for the index and just have
a menu of some sort in the actual content.

my site. The indexpage.css was only used for the index, but I liked the
style of it the most and ended up using it solely site-wide. The name
has remained.
Changing it would involve manually editing 170+ files. I'm kicking
myself for not including it in an SSI like I have for the rest of my
<HEAD> stuff.

changed it. A contact form is in the works and the png email thing is a
poor attempt to prevent email harvesters.

apart even more under IE 4.01, but they're things I can live with. I'm
just curious to know what it looks like under Konqueror or Safari.

You might want to consider non-breaking spaces between words in
individual buttons, so they don't wrap half-a-button.

2. Consider renaming the CSS file to something other than "indexpage.css" as it seems to be used on all pages. Not wrong, just confusing to those who may read source. It's a relic of when I used 4-5 different CSS files for various parts of my site. The indexpage.css was only used for the index, but I liked the style of it the most and ended up using it solely site-wide. The name has remained. Changing it would involve manually editing 170+ files. I'm kicking myself for not including it in an SSI like I have for the rest of my <HEAD> stuff. |

Thank you. It falls apart very slighly under IE 5.01 and 5.5 and falls apart even more under IE 4.01, but they're things I can live with. I'm just curious to know what it looks like under Konqueror or Safari. |

It looks quite nice in Safari. Can't see any difference between Safari and Mac Firefox. Anyone ever tell you that you look like Colonel Sanders? |
Would it be too much to ask if I could get a Safari screenshot off you?
Feel free to email it peter at ulujain dot org or simply include a link
to it.
It'd much appreciated!

dragging text to insert between elements, I miss and insert before the >
character. Really messes me up! Sometimes it then changes the first
part of the element to match the closing part, or vice-versa.
