	My point is that you really shouldn't get involved if you don't know the history Why not just tell what it is, your vagueness? It'd save time. Or y'know, you could just not be a rude twunt. That'd save time too. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Well, it's not like you'd need to have good web design to encourage people to use you site, or anything.

Seriously, that site has the worst case of AoF(Areas of Focus) glut I've ever seen. AND you have to resize the text upward two sizes to make it readable. That's a first.

My point is that you really shouldn't get involved if you don't know the history. It's not fair play.

mr_terrific, report to the front counter.

Just last night I was trying to see what language classes the local community college offered for continuing ed, and it took FOURTEEN CLICKS and THREE pop-up windows to find the answer. And, I think, two or three more to get to descriptions of the classes.

I just finished some usability testing at the library I work at, where I discovered that users won't go more than three clicks into a site before backing up and starting over, so I'm making it a goal in my redesign to have every single page available within two clicks from the home page, for just that reason.

	I remember one particlarly good Samurai Champloo fansite with a terrible design. I literally scrolled past the main nav buttons three times; they were poorly designed, and my eyes were parsing without executing, so to speak. In terms of usabilty, it was very efficient. Click, Episode Guides. Click, Episode 12. Wow, that was easy. The only obstacle was the layout itself. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Seriously, that site has the worst case of AoF(Areas of Focus) glut It's very busy isn't it? Little squares and pictures everywhere. I think my main beef with it is that it's so fugly. Grey and brown colour scheme. Mmmmm, eye-candy. Or not. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	wrongly_amused 2006-05-27 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Very true. Personal sites are allowed to be personalized, but if you do intend for people to use it like a resource, you should keep navigation in mind. I admit I am curious how she got the graphics to overlap the scroll box, though. (My HTML is so, so, so rusty.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mcity 2006-05-27 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Probably CSS, actually. Just set the left-margin to a negative number. Yes, you can do that. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Not only navigation, but download times as well. I keep crying out to the world at large that not everyone is on broadband, but no one listens! Woe for the dial-up users who have to wait just to find a damn link before having to jump through hoops! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Someone's saying the OP stole the brushes and textures from someone else:

These Brushes belong to my friend Sarah of Stargazer. It cleary states her Site's name "Stargazer" on the images.

Please remove them. You're obviously stealing and claiming as your own. Bad move.

And to anyone who HAS downloadd them, please remove your Credit for this wank, and change Creat to Stargazer (http://stargazer.netg.se/).

*hopes that OP will respond*

	but isn't infinite__rain the same person as Sara of stargazer.net.se? this is getting rather confusing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	secondarygain 2006-05-27 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, they're the same person. If you look at infinite rain's lj, she links the site, and if you can bear looking at the site, she even has an entry there about the drama in 100x100 brushes. I've always wondered about why people on the internet feel a need to go around playing narc when they don't have their facts straight (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
