just after opinions really... and to get a cheeky lil link to it heh
^ must have flash installed, probs need flash player 10 due to me using vector arrays.... anyway, general design of it is done, yes it took me like 5mins to come up with... only thing thats working atm is the photography page, all xml driven which make it easy to add/take away images as i please. im aware clicking the photogrpahy btn relaunches the gallery again so for now just deal with and only click it once =] 3d page gna be renders of 3d models etc, flash page gna be more games as/when they get created... programming page is gna start out to be the source code for my site, when i cba to upload it - kinda wana get it a little neater before i do tho, as potentially this website will go on my c.v. then evolve into whatever, custom as3 classes, perhaps a bit of c# etc views opinions on what can be made better/improved/changed would be nice, criticism welcome blah blah the usual =] any errors u get would be nice to know as well... glhf? --------------------  |

what's flv/f4v? im going to assume its some form of video? i'd have to take a look at it to see if it was good enough quality.
cheers dude let me get back to you with a bit of a layout, tho design-wise you could really do anything you want.. just neutral-ish colours is the only must |

flash video... f4v uses h264...
could go quicktime but its not usually recommended for web rather u would choose urs colours/images etc as my design skills arent exactly to the standard you would most likely require... -------------------- |

lol
as for fonts, its usually safe to use a font family - the browser will choose its default from the selected fonts you list... its safe to list generic ones that everyone will most likely have on there system or itll render the text with whatever substitute it finds but then again you can always save your text out as an image and have any font you want... -------------------- |

my only bugbear with flv is the lack of indexing on it.
Quicktime (and realplayer) on the other hand are the spawn of satan! Text as images = bad for the indexing though  (or for people like me on text only browsers, dam you!)Font: maybe you could use comic sans, but use it ironically

search engine indexing - stuff like google reading your site, it sees everything as text. If you use pictures for text google doesn't really recognise it (although you can use alt tags on pictures and a few other methods like some interesting javascript)
co-incidentally you can use custom fonts with css... google "@font-face" - essentially downloading fonts if the person viewing the page doesn't have them. It's not that commonly used, although I'm not sure why. -------------------- |

google will scan/spyder your site and index most text/media it finds into its database
when you search for a term in google, itll search its database and serve up results based on what it finds damnd beaten to it. what ever minger fonts via css eh, sounds like a good idea -------------------- |

hehe,
it's like this site... google indexes the forums (it has it's own spider account) - so anything appearing in the public or members (not clan member or special) forums can be indexed by google. If I write: "Raile like the cock" hopefully in days/weeks, google will find this page and index it. A subsequest google for the word "raile" will bring you to this page*, thereby providing you with 100% accurate information (*or at least a page in this site that's more popular, you can always show the omitted results though) I know of the @font-face css thing but don't know any details. My initial thoughts are that if your browser automatically downloads something then that has some potential for dodgyness. -------------------- |

err had a tiny look into it and seems it only supports .eot fonts? have to convert or sumthin more hassle then its worth... new browsers sposed to support ttf and otf but its no good if its "new browsers only" kinda thing.
oh and another thing to note about google, is that next to each search result there is a "cache" button so if the site it serves up is currently down, you can view the cached version - sometimes omits images etc, but you generally get the bulk of the text your after. -------------------- |

whoops just to clarify... i would actually prefer google to NOT be picking up anything from my site.. as everything on it would be info i'd rather fewer people be viewing. it would only really be a site for me to send the link overseas and such to allow people to see my portfolio/show reel. now i dont care enough to want to do whatever i can to block google, but i also dont want to try and make it google-friendly
