My site - coding chips and teats
      #205159 - Tue Jul 05 2005 08:29 AM

Given that I claim to know so much about Web development, my own site is conspicuous by it's absence. Not any more:

http://www.matthewkerry.com

is a collect of JavaScript tip-bits, alot of which are answers to questions on here. It's growing all the time and is by no means complete, so take a browse and let me know what you think.

Design ethos - less is more!

My next two areas for the site will be a portfolio of my work and a friends (links) page. So if you want to be on my Friends page (and I consider everyone on here as a friend!), drop me an email to
friends AT matthewkerry.com.(replace AT with @)

If there is any JavaScript code you'd like including or any other areas you'd like to see covered, email me that too!

Cheers

Matt

I don't know why, but oddly, i like it.

Although i was thinking that it needed more content on each page, but then i realised too much content on each page will ruin the sites feel. I think it would be hard to find a way to fit too much content on there. (Sorry that doesnt help much does it)

It's a touch on the sparse side for me, both in terms of design and content. Are people supposed to just view the code to understand the info? This may be a problem for the less knowledgable as they may not really get what it all means and so can't integrate it into their own work? How about some step-by step instructions?

A couple of the links to these sections didn't work for me -


- How to display a page title in a frames based site
- Table borders in css

Definitely has potential and I really like how fast it is! No graphics for us dial-uppers makes a pleasant change!

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi there, although your home/index page looked pretty bare, I quite like the idea you have, One thing I noticed was that the vlink colour properties is the same as standard text, so once a user has visited the link, it does not stand out from normal text anymore and is easy missed if a user want to refer back to it, I know its only minor, but I thought it would be worth pointing out, on the whole - keep up the good work, will be nice to see it expand and grow :)

Hi Percy?,

I've always been in 2 minds about the visited links issue. I agree that some users do find it useful to know where they have been, but I personally have never found this a problem.

I think that if visited links are made to stand out they can spoil the look of the site/page? Has anyone else found this?

Cheers,

Mark.

Good point Percy. I was thinking of changing the active colour, from blue to maybe dark grey, but I think I might have the visited as dark grey and the active as something more obvious, such as red.

Mark - Good spot with the links. I will amend tonight!

You could always keep the link and vlink the same colour, as long as it stands out people will see it, maybe just change the alink colour so it stands out when a users mouse moves over the link. Also are you having a page where users can submit java themselves too, maybe in a form ?? I got a couple of bits and bobs knocking about, not that I use much of it though !!
