CSS Abuse

Not a line of JS on the entire site. Works in Chrome and Firefox, doesn't work in Opera and IE, works for some people in Safari but not others.

Thoughts?

1.) You are using HTML 5.0 which is still experimental and not supported by all browsers
2.) No Char encoding defined
3.) 4 sec rule. Scanning over the page is a complete loss on the intentions of the page.
4.) Faux Links

I am fully aware of that fact. "Works in Chrome and Firefox, doesn't work in Opera and IE, works for some people in Safari but not others."

2.) No Char encoding defined

And?

3.) 4 sec rule. Scanning over the page is a complete loss on the intentions of the page.

...that's because there isn't one

4.) Faux Links

It's purely an experiment, not a site. I was asking for feedback on the design xD

I'm going to move this to the correct forum now >_<

But if you want layout then it doesnt work all the way for me FireFox 4.0+

The Header is only partially working, nav works and footer works

I didn't put version number in, but it doesn't work in FF4. It works in FF5.

I updated it a bit, fixed most of your complaints

Hover over about, it's the hackiest thing ever xD

K now every thing is working but, did you intend for the personal information to be all the way into the right margin. Kinda looks strange that everything is centered then you have the Personal info way out in the right margin

What if you removed the About link and keep the about information visible ... it reminds me of MMN, I know it isnt but it just reminds me of it.

Thank you for fixing the char set ... my validators are now green across the board except for one error but it is just because of the HTML5 so it is more of a warning

I, on the other hand, like it. (I think "Web developer based in the UK" is a bit of a giveaway, and if it takes one more than four seconds to put that together with the word "Portfolio", I'm thinking there are deficiencies present that can't be overcome using additional text.) There's only one thing I'd suggest, and that's to use text-shadow (no displacement, less than one pixel blur, same colour as the text) to antialias the largest text -- it works a charm.

This should work for the anti-aliasing:

text-shadow: #666677 1px 1px 1px;

Yeah, that's intentional, partly because I quite like it, and partly because I couldn't work out how to center it at the time (wrap it in a div!)

What if you removed the About link and keep the about information visible ... it reminds me of MMN, I know it isnt but it just reminds me of it.

Good :-D

That text is new ;-)
