A friend is having some trouble accessing the links at my website. I'm not coming up with any errors and I've since made corrections so that, hopefully, it makes sense in IE (It's designed in Firefox).

Anyway, could you few willing souls take a gander and let me know if anything isn't working. Whatever browser you're using just let me know which one.

Thanks. Very, very appreciated!!!

hi hi hi honey!!! ...as you can see I have been deserting my journal, but I was just thinking how I miss you!

Looks like all links are working for me. I'm using Firefox. However...most of the quote marks in your fics have little boxes instead of quotes. The annoying image-doesn't-show type boxes. I notice lots of things online formatted some time ago have this? Dunno why. I try copying and pasting them into word, but then all the boxes are question marks.

You are totally deserting your journal. Apparently you have, like, a real life! What's that all about. It's okay though. I don't seem to be all that inspired to pop online. I'm totally missing on you though, when I do bother I don't always check the entire flist, but I do peek at your journal for updates. Throw a kid a bone, eh?

Thanks for looking the site over. I'm slowly changing all the fic over to CSS formatting. It's a slower process because of the number of pages, but I will get it done. I'll take a look at the problem that you mentioned. See if I can work that out. Maybe I'm not using the most universal types.

Everything looking fine on both IE and Firefox.

Hey you!!

Thanks so much for checking.

I hope that all is well with you!

It all looks good from here, and I'm using neither IE nor Firefox. (Opera 9.5 for the motherfucking WIN, baby!)

Awesome! Thank you for looking. I don't have Opera, so it's good to know that it's functional on that site as well. Learning CSS has been such an eye opening affair in terms of coding for a wide range of browsers.

Looks fine for me in both Firefox and IE. Ask your friend what version s/he's using. IE 6.0 or older has lots of bugs when it comes to CSS.

That said, I had a hard time reading the black text on your mauve background. (Though it's a gorgeous background.) IBM puts out a tool called aDesigner (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/adesigner), which shows you what your site would look like to someone who's color blind, has different types of low vision, and what a screen reader would read. There are also other free tools that show you what level of contrast you need between your background and your text for it to be accessible to everyone.

Yeah, sorry about that. The font color was sheer laziness on my part. I was supposed to change it before the layout went up and never did. I don't usually do anything so challenging. I still have a lot of tweaking to do and I'm torn between getting it done and waiting to do another layout. If I could only find a little spare time. argh1!!!
