Okay, I'm Miss Meta tonight. After a looooong essay about Structure, I've posted story notes on A '57 Vincent And A Red-Headed Boy.

Also up, the little vignette, Welcome Home, Mr. General, Sir.

[livejournal.com profile] dragon_light will be stunned to hear I've already put those feedback forms on all 92 of my stories. I've got 92 stories. Holy cow.

Of course, [livejournal.com profile] switchknife has, oh, ten million. But wow -- 92?

Uhm, I know a tiny bit. Enough to have made mistakes with frames and links that open in new windows to have been "scolded" and lectured by a friend on why they are bad. And funnily enough, now I strongly dislike them, too :o)

Taking the target="_blank" out of links stops them from opening in new windows. Then the viewer has full control.

Would you believe that the box in the center on the larger screen size is smaller than the one for the little screen?
I believe it! I have 800x600, too, so the size isn't too bad (anymore - was it not smaller previously?), but the double scroll-bars and the non-url are irksome :o/

Any help I can give, I'm happy to. If you want to know "why frames are bad"/"why making links open in a new window is bad", google - people who know what they are talking about are far more eloquent than me :o)

I deliberately had the stories open in a new window. Otherwise, you're stuck reading them in that tiny little box which would be dreadful. Also, I didn't want the dark background with light lettering, since many people find that hard to read.

My preferred style of website has all the links lined up on the left, and the pages opening to the right. Then it doesn't look like you're opening a new page, rather the display on the right changes. When I update my site I'll do something like that.

You shouldn't be getting a double-scrollbar however. What browser are you using?

Couldn't agree more! This wouldn't be a problem if you didn't use frames :oD

And this can be done without frames, too!

Mozilla Firefox - both the webpage (the frames) have a scrollbar, plus the window has one :o/
