Website Updates and New Layout?

[icarus]

In preparation for remixredux I've updated my website.

The Harry Potter story pages have been updated.
The Harry Potter fic pairings page now has a Gen list, and has been updated from July 2005. *coughs*

PG-13 has 9 new stories, R has two new stories, and NC-17 also has two new stories.

The growing Stargate page has been updated.
I've added five new Stargate Atlantis stories, and two new Stargate SG-1 stories. Since Stargate Atlantis is up to seven stories and Stargate SG-1 now has 17, check out the handy "jump to" links.

I've renamed "Nasty Little Elves" to Nowhere But Up, because the original title was a slapped on mess and scribbulus_ink had a point with the title being the first hook. I was being lazy with the original title.

New Layout?
I'm experimenting with a new layout that seems to work for (and look the same) on various resolutions. The banner is by femmequixotic, with art by lizardspots.

Only one page is complete because, well, I don't know what I'm doing. A lot of the links don't work yet. But the layout of all the pages will be simple: black text on white background, with the information in the center table. A basic 12 pt font. The stories will still appear as separate links so you (and I) can link to them individually.

Users of Firefox and Safari and other browsers, let me know if it looks like utter shit?

Everyone else... do you like the bright and sunny look? I write a lot more humor than Darkfic so it seems to fit, but if it hurts your eyes, tell me. I'd like to go to eFiction, but I don't know how to set it up. So, basic HTML it is.

I'm from from three generation of professional printers, my stepfather's degree is from R.I.T. (that means "Harvard" in the printing world) and my father's an award-winning art director. I've produced 14 Buddhist texts.

Trust me, you may prefer san serif fonts for their modern clean look (and not all serif fonts are created equal) but once your eyes start going or something has to be read from a distance, serif fonts become a necessity.

I actually paste most stories or other text into Word and change the font to one that's easier for me to read (usually Ariel). I'm not sure why that is, but the older I get the more it's a necessity for me. It may not be true for everyone, but I find it easier to read. (I'm not even hinting that you should change your font, though. *g* I don't care what anyone uses since, as I mentioned, I usually end up pasting stories into Word anyway.)

*nods* Thanks for telling me about the Firefox issue, I'm a little stumped at the moment. It's quite a problem.
