This is fun. Please critique me more.

Allright, while I'm at it, why not a critique of my "homepage", in my sig:

http://www.wse.jhu.edu/newtnotes/

Anyone? What's good, bad, or ugly about it?

Thanks.

Some tidbits:

1) intended audience: web denizens, technogeeks, and technogeek wannabes.
And myself.

2) Site created with: Back-End CMS V0.46 (version number may be
off slightly). I find that I am not sooper-crazy about this CMS but I was
testing CMSes and this one stuck because I had already created a bunch of
content.

3) Um, nothing else...

Thanks. later...

Oops. On second thought, it looks like I did have an idea, and I did that
on purpose. I wonder why?

Hmm, we will never fully understand the undocumented actions of our own
past selves...

Yes. Jeffrey has gone for the overly complicated:

<script language="JavaScript">
if (document.getElementById){
document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='/newtnotes/nn_positioning.css'>\n");
}
</script>

Much easier to just do:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/newtnotes/nn_positioning.css"
media="screen,projection">

which Netscape 4 will blissfully ignore.

CSS
The W3C CSS validator found no errors, but noted a warning that you'd
missed a generic font family somewhere.

However, it has to be said that this is only a "warning" by the CSS
checker, and there are honestly-held opinions in favour of leaving a
generic choice out, just as there are in favour of specifying one.
It's hard to be definite, given the (as usual) perverse behaviour of a
rather popular browsre-like object in certain situations.

That said there are some
improvement to be made still: remove those px units

px units for font size? Oh dear, then any further critique can be put
in abeyance AFAIAC.

all the best.
