I've given my webpage a bit of a redesign (though not at present changed any of the content; I'll look into that in the nearish future). The old version was becoming an embarrassment: both the page style and the HTML were stuck in 1996.

I've tested it in Firefox 2 on Linux and Windows, IE 6, and Safari.^* If you find the new version does not work for you, let me know.

* Also Lynx and Links, for which the quasi-links at the top do not work. If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know; otherwise, I shall just let it pass, as I suspect the chances of anyone limited to a text-only browser, braille reader or screen reader visiting my site is quite low.

Lynx &c. - put the links in as proper links at the bottom of the page, inside a <noscript> block?

Moving text?!? augh!

- The block of image/text at the top is too tall - I hate to think what this will look like on my 7' Eee.

- I'd like the links better if they were behaving normally

- Safari 2 puts all the content bits one after the next, finishing after the BBC Micro link, followed by Loading... and the background. I've just looked at the site in Firefox, where it's using a very clever swipe-in-from-right transition.

Why not just make the 'quasi links' into ordinary links?

Weird layout. Your banner ought not to take up half the screen. Probably better to put the links in a horizontal banner and float the mugshot at the side so that the text can go round it.

You also perhaps ought to have more space between the title and the second line; the underline on the Funny A risks mushing with the PhD part.

And maybe your blog should open in a new window?
