I used Mozilla M17 to view it. It looks quite cool, although the fonts are a bit too small. Is that fixed size? I can't parse ".9em" offhand, but I'm guessing it's not variable because I remember setting up my fonts preferences to use bigger font size. The "H A N D S D S" part wasn't immediately obvious what it was for, so I didn't like it. The incompatibility with old-class Nescaffe browsers would pose a large problem -- Mozilla still isn't too widely used. > FWIW, it _still_ looks good in lynx, though a few alt="..." tags > would make lynxing the page better :) That shouldn't be a problem. > oh, btw, made with gimp/vim/Mozilla. we don't need no stinking > wintendo tools to do _decent_ design, just a bit of time :) Yes :) > and sorry for the personal email, but I _really_ don't want to > subscribe to -www, as it would eat away at more of my limited time > to get some real hacking done ;-), though do feel free to cc me on > any communication WRT this HTML-hack.
