Website deconstruction

[Burpee]

Gary Priester has inspired me to redo my old webpage. Actually he might have been trying to inspire me to buy Web Designer, lol. I just might do that anyway but now I'm going to have to wait for a bit before I can get it.

In the mean time, I am going to share the link to my site for a short time so that you can read my short story 'The Tale of Isa'. It's only 2 pages. I really like this tale and I'm kind of proud of it. I won a Golden Tori award for it.

It will probably not be on my new webpage so you may well be the last people to see it.

The site is very crude as I wrote alot of the code myself. I never share or post the link anymore and it has gone to the wayside. I think it's time to reinvent myself so I post it here and ask if there is anything at all that I should keep. Be brutally honest, as I know it's not very good anyway.

I'll be removing most of the artwork. There are only a few images that I'll carry over. I want to use Xara to make my buttons, headers and navigation bars. If there's nothing worth saving I'll start from scratch.

The biggest question is whether or not I should keep NGartplay. The second is exactly what do I want from my site. I don't know the answer to either of those, lol.

Do not laugh...here it is:

Hi Nancy,

I really like your artwork on the site. One point about your galleries though. When someone clicks on a thumbnail to view the larger image. I think you should provide a way back to the thumbnails without having to click the back button of the browser.

Your short story has possibilities. It could be fleshed out and have smoother transitions. Oh, and make the font for the credits different from the story text.

Use the keyboard 'Backspace' button Bill.. (Or ALT + ← )

Very nice work Nancy.
I've never got into 3D work, can't think why really. Just not my thing I guess.
But I do enjoy viewing what other people can create..

Thanks Steve but I was thinking more along the lines of having the larger image be a popup and a click on it would close the popup.

I'm messin' with you Bill.

But for what it's worth, pop up blockers can ruin well intentioned sites

Nancy I very much like the art work in 'Sewer Rats'
You must have spent a great deal of time working on those graphics?
