I'm not sure Schimz meant either, it looks okay on my machine. I do have a suggestion though. Why not use Verdana
for all text. You use it for the Guide entries, but the site generally appears to use Times New Roman.. While it looks
good on paper, Times sort of sucks on screen. Verdana I think was actually designed for web use as it is highly
legible.. You may also consider Tahoma or Lucida.. For table data, you might consider a monospaced font (System,
Termina, Console types), it sometimes saves time if you want to manually justify data, as all characters have the
same width, making it easy to write data in lines, separated by spaces, as opposed to other fonts where "i" for
examples is narrower than "m". Just a thought...
About the work: I asked about a database, because it might be easier to update and manage the site, if you used
some sort of PHP/MySQL combination. It might be too late now, as so much work has already been done, but HTML is
a drag for such "encyclopaedic" sites
Also JAVA requires the visitor has appropriate plug-ins for it to run, so it may
be a problem for some visitors.. With PHP all computing is done on your website server and only the results are
displayed, making it fast and platform independent.. Since you are new in Java as you say, you might as well, learn
PHP instead.. It's very powerful and there is tons of code freely available.. I am rather clumsy with it though, but Dan
here is a master
He's also been working on a Reviewer application for precisely the purpose you need, but had to
shelf it, coz of lack of time.. Maybe you could further his ideas.
Heh, your bio is really personal and rather long. Brave of you to put it online. I wouldn't.
I prefer to keep personal
stuff about myself personal
