New website up... (commercial message)
Hi Folks-- my new website is up and running (same www.busmanwhistles.com URL). Not a huge amount of new content except for a few pics, but the site is cleaner and easier to navigate. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments, even if I didn't use all of them

All I get is the flashpage. Nothing clicks except the envelope.

Hi Paul,
The home page looks great, however nothing to click to go further except for the email and Tinwhistle WebRing.
Sounds like some folks see different stuff. I wonder if it is related to the type of Browser or Operating System.
I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft XP.
Look forward to seeing more!

For the good are always the merry,
Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle,
And the merry love to dance.

another ditto here. I use Mozilla Firebird, which is basically a modified netscape-type browser.The Weekenders wrote:All I get is the flashpage. Nothing clicks except the envelope.

Counter, webring, etc.
I'm ditto on the showing clickables. Further, the color in the webring buttons is pale pink on my monitor, almost invisible. I can override it, but I shouldn't need to.
I STRONGLY suggest using frames for your navigation, even if it's only two - content top, nav bottom. Makes your users' lives much easier. It needn't be obvious, and there are very few browsers any more that don't support frames. In fact, I can't think of any.
I STRONGLY suggest getting two people, one with normal vision and one who's red-green colorblind to pass on the readability of the page, especially the button text, and anything anyone's gonna want to read. The RG colorblindness affects quite a few people, mostly males.
You make pretty whistles, Paul! I certainly love mine!
