It’s Alive!

15Jan

OK, I just moved my newly designed Design site from a testing server to the real deal — right here!

I’ve tested and retested, and most of the bugs have been worked out.  (The previous post deals with the list of known issues, which I will fix if I find out how.)

I’ll miss my pretty little previous site, but it had no blog and the portfolio design was too complex to update very often.

So, welcome again, and if you see anything that looks amiss — especially if you have a fix for it — I’d love to hear from you.

Or — if you just like something about it and nothing is amiss, I’d really love to hear from you!

Site Tested Cross-Browser — Known Issues

15Jan

I’ve tested this site in many browsers and on several platforms, and for the most part, everything works as it should.

Tested and all is well:

  • Platforms: Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000:
    • Firefox 3.05
    • Internet Explorer 7
  • Windows Vista:
    • Google Chrome 1.0
    • Opera 9.63

Tested with a glitch or two:

  • Safari 3.21
    • fonts on nav bar less tall than on other systems, leaving gap below on hover
  • Opera 9.25 on Windows Vista:
    • weird anomaly on portfolio hover images wherein all images seem to display at once — very dizzying
    • text links on portfolio pages do not work
  • Internet Explorer 6 on Windows Vista (tested through IETester):
    • hover on navbar buttons does not work; alternate links provided
    • hover on portfolio images does not work; alternate popup versions provided (but with less information)
    • javascript “onclick window.open” script opens window with no Flash animation
  • Internet Explorer 8 (beta) on Windows Vista (tested through IETester):
    • text in large portfolio image (on hover) does not appear
    • right box border containing large portfolio image (on hover) too far to the right
    • on-page links on FAQs page do not work
    • javascript “onclick window.open” script causes web design portfolio page not to show
  • Netscape 7.2 on Windows Vista (because I could):
    • bottom row of Illustration portfolio thumbnails extend slightly past containing box
