Calm has settled on the world.

School is done, I say with an audible sigh of relief.

The world seems so quiet and peaceful.

I did not do as well this quarter as I did in the last two. In addition to taking on way too many credit hours, and doing a bit more fandom than I ought (to escape from it), I fell into some old bad habits, namely: imbalanced effort. Putting a huge amount of effort into one project at the expense of others.

This is very satisfying for me, but gives teachers extra work for the over-kill assignment, and extra work for the assignment turned in late. I could never function this way in the business world.

So my grades for two of my classes aren't as good as they should be. I think I can afford a bad semester, though I'm certain to be knocked off the Dean's list. But I have to remember to treat school like I would a job and hit all those deadlines, regardless of the "perfection" of what I want to do.

( Things to do now. )

Website design review

Quick question:

I've heard back from some people that they have trouble reading my website.

Do you?

If so -

1) is the print too small (11 pt in windows, 10 pt in navigation)?
2) is the blue and black theme too dark?
3) are there broken links?
4) do you want me to list fics by pairing?
5) ...other problems?

Thank you. The website's there for you, so however stylish it is -- if it's not readable, then I need to fix it.

ETA: So far it's pretty universal that -
a) the strikethrough needs to be removed
b) the links need to be a different, brighter colour
c) there needs to be a larger margin on the individual story pages
d) list fics by pairing instead of by rating
e) do not use heading < h 1 > style as it does not work in some browsers
f) bump point size up one notch (11 pt & 12 pt)
g) ... I'm not sure how to fix the navigation/pix overlap found in some browsers. Hmm.

ETA2: I've updated some of my pages with larger fonts, yellow instead of the cross-out mouse over, removed the < h 1 > tag in places. Haven't fixed the margin, and a new issue has arisen: some find the frame in the middle of the page difficult and too-small. Correcting that... would involve a none-too-pretty (in terms of the work involved) change to the picture framing it.

Please keep the critiques coming, again, this came from a few private, hand-over-the-mouth mumbles from friends.
