Well.. here it comes, after 1.5 years without updates, my new web page. This
time dedicated to POV-Ray.

http://hertel.no/peter

All the contents aren't ready yet, only a old gallery from 1999 and one WIP
scene is up, but more will come.. Hopefully sooner than last time..
I just did a search, and realized that I haven't finished a single scene in
2000! My WIP scenes in 2000 were mostly for IRTC, and I always ran out of
time. too bad :(
Please note that I haven't uploaded the sources yet, even if there's links
to them..

The attached image is a larger render of the navigation bar on top of the
page.
I'm not sure if the top frame is too large, and if I should make three
links/labels/wood sticks pr. row instead of only two. What do you think?

-Peter

Very nice design and easy to navigate! :)

I think three would be better.

copy.html and povray.html have weird text.  The text is black on white
background, but only where characters are, instead of a white box with
black text like on your index page.  So I get white bars with black text
and the background image between and around the bars.  Maybe it's just
my browser (Netscape 4.75).

That's because I've been a bit lazy :)
Instead of making a <table> around the text, like on the index page, I made
a CSS-class which makes the background of the paragraph white. .pwhite{
background-color : #FFFFFF; }
Because of that, there will not be any white space / padding around the
text.
It doesn't look too good, so I think I'll make some tables instead.

Check it out now..
I think it depends a lot on which resolution you use.. this version might be
a bit too small for 1280x1024, while the other one is a bit too big on
800x600.. the everlasting problem :)

In my opinion, the only useful thing :)
The "mouse-navigation system" rocks!

I think it wouldn't hurt to make the navigation buttons at the top a bit
larger. They should still fit in even with 640x480.

But more importantly: remove the borders around them! (I believe it's an
error? I don't remember them being there before...)

A few pixels maybe.. I belive the Copyright text was a bit dark too, so I've
done a rerender and made it a bit brighter, and bigger.

Oh, well.. I forgot to test it in IE..
Opera uses border=0 as default, even if the image is inside an <a></a>
It's fixed now, thanks for mentioning :)

Btw, what do you think about downloading time? I use PNG instead of JPG,
because it's much prettier, is it worth the wait?

Well, it actually doesn't take very long even on my slow 56K connection, so
I guess it's OK. However, I'm nor sure all browsers support png.
