Thanks for taking a look at my code. I know that most of the errors are caused by something to do with the lists, yet I’m not experienced enough to put my finger on it.

Interesting to know how long my site takes to load on dial-up. At present every one of my clients uses broadband, and I don’t see that changing much.

Great of you to take a look for me, and I’ll reply to your email now.

On line 151 in style.css:
You have misspelled visited.

You may want to clean up your XHTML because you have 71 errors on your homepage.

Your website takes around 33 seconds to load at 56 kb/s.
To reduce this consider compressing your CSS by creating a master CSS file.

it looks like the code was removed by wordpress
just email us if you would like it.

This enables you to separate your CSS accordingly.
You must save this CSS file as a php file and link to just as you would link to a normal CSS file.
The PHP code compresses the CSS and removes unnecessary spaces.

You may want to compress wp-ajax-edit-comments.js. It can be reduced to 35.6% of its current size.

Also you can compress javascript even more by serving it as gzipped.
Just as the following code at the beginning of your JavaScript document:

more PHP code

Then save it as a php file and link to it accordingly.

We are a big fan of your design blog.

Hope this helps,

I’d thought about floating the nav links to the left. I’ll give it a shot, thanks.

John,

Thanks again for your opinion. Regarding the footer, I’m actually contemplating removing it, and its contents, entirely. Do you think the footer adds any real value? I want to clean the pages up as much as possible.

As for the ‘Top Commentators’, I’ve never made use of that plugin, through choice, and a blogroll is something I’m thinking about as a static page.

DT,

No problem at all for your quick comment. It was appreciated. Aaron has already answered your question (thanks Aaron).

Vivienne,

Do you really think my photo is serious? I thought it was a casual one. Regardless, I’ll at least be improving the quality, and possibly changing it too.

Thanks for your thoughts and kind compliments.

Hi Mig,

You’re another who seems to have been reading my mind. I was thinking of showcasing some personal projects in the sidebar, but I’ll have to think about it some more so as not to clutter the white space.

Good of you to drop in.

You are doing fine … really fine.

David used to mention all the previous posts’ commenters in each article which, because it was in the actual article, Technorati did index. Perhaps this is what you’ve seen?

Yes its strange, but at one stage I was receiving all comment link backs in my technorati and admin page. I believe technorati has just killed the dofollow movement. Their systems must have detected it and turned it off.

Sorry for the poor comment its was a quick one and I had to run off. Yes I was suggesting to put your blue horizontal line under your headings of your sidebar.

Anyways I do think “do follow” no longer works. Perhaps we should check with the rest of the do follow movement?

I agree about your portrait photo–it looks like a very low-res’/over-optimised jpg.

Sad to see the Mao quote go. I’m aware of his “legacy”, but it wouldn’t stop me; a good quote is a good quote regardless of its source. Anyway, that is, I guess, a personal choice.

I really like how you’ve moved some of the side-bar content into the footer–very neat (I think I’ll be following your lead on that one).

I can’t see any other problems. It’s looking clean, easily navigable, and professions; a great job, I think.

Any reason for dropping the “Top Commentators” and “Blog Roll”?

Given that eyes tend to skim websites in an ‘2′ fashion, I would personally float the top links to the left if you’ll keep the David Airey logo and quote to the right. Readers will then find it more natural to scan left to the links, right to the logo, then left to the main content. Its all about that ease of reading :)

Overall, it IS an excellent design. Lots of white space and easy on the eyes.
