WWW

My WWW-site evolves and evolves. Or not exactly that: it grows all the time. A few years ago, I had only one page, which had a few miserable pictures. It would be really fine to have it as some kind of relic...

I have used Adobe PageMill -program in my Macintosh. The Wysiwyg approach helps me. And that program helps me to sweep errors away.

I have a digital camera (you can see that thing from my awful amount of pictures). First I had Kodak DC20. And then Agfa ePhoto 780. Then I got much extra memory. Now I have quite awful amounts of memory...

Then my Agfa went broken! I bought a new camera: Olympus C-920 ZOOM.

Then Olympus C-40. Now "Canon PowerShot Pro1".

Sometimes I've got the page both in Finnish and English. Sometimes though only one language. And then the translation isn't exact. Because one has to explain some things for instance to foreigners.

Some instructions

That sounds much too "festive". Those are mostly some ideas, how to make "better" WWW-pages. They aren't any absolute truths, far from it.

Animations

I really hate them. Record was pages of Sony inc. Everything was animated, really everything. Every small button was animated. Sounds great? When I have to wait for 15 minutes loading for everything. I'm not very cheerful! And the loading-order was such, that I could just do nothing than wait. Frustrating!!!

Frames

Sometimes one can do just quite impressive things with frames. But very often result is horrible. I load pictures to me from WWW-pages. And frames make that nearly impossible Then I see the actual code; and words doesn't describe it... But one should never say never. Though in this case...

Compressing images

One should do that as much as possible. Because our browsers doesn't support higher resolutions (or actually our screens don't support (but they should)). So it's really waste to have "redundant" information.

Quite frustrating just sit and wait for things to load.

Frame to a picture

It's really nice to have a small "frame" with pictures. In left and right. Because it's really quite disturbing having text in picture. I've used Macintosh program "Graphic Converter" to do the thing.

Layout

Here are some basic ideas.

Here one puts pictures alternatively left and right.

Then it's possible to put all pictures to right. Someone said, it would give consistent feeling. Yes true. But it looks quite dull, too.

One can do miracles with tables, too.

This way one can put extremely much text and pictures into a page. But this type of page isn't possible to print. But hey, these pages aren't even intended for printing!
