The Grindstone

[tealin]

With the [supposed] completion of work, I'm embarking on a bit of belated spring cleaning on my site. Updating email links, sorting the old "new" pictures onto the pages where they belong, and maybe eventually setting up categories for my Terra Extra Harry Potter stuff.

Yay, exciting.

In revisiting my webpage, I thought I'd take the Hogwarts Sorting Test again...

Ravenclaw: 89
Hufflepuff: 83
Gryffindor: 56
Slytherin: 21

My Slytherin score used to be 19 – help! I'm slipping!

Your results?

I had an idea:
For the pages sorted by character, would anyone seriously (or Siriusly, haha) kill me if I got rid of the whole table layout thing and just had a list of links to drawings that feature whatever character you're looking for? It would be so much easier to update and maintain, and would be much more throrough without having to take up so much space. The book-sorted pages would stay the same, with the drawings all laid out with captions, it's just the character-sorted ones that would change.

I've made some updates to the Updates/In Progress section on the art index page of my site (the "website" link at the top of this page will take you there) detailing plans and also links to an area of my site that has kind of been cut off by development.

Goodness, is that test ever comprehensive. *eyes it with dismay* Er.

About your character page reformatting, I'm not sure I understand. As in how the links are displayed to the left when I click on one of the table-y things?

The way I have it set up now, there's a sort of menu thing on the left that will take you to the different characters and books, but the main body of the page is taken up by a big table with pictures and captions in it. What I'm proposing to do, with the Characters pages anyway, is to get rid of the pictures/captions layout and just give links to the image files containing a particular character. So, if you were looking at the Ron page, there'd be a list like:
Gazing despondently at his crystal ball
Looking at the bottom of his shoe
Eating slugs
etc.
And whenever you clicked on one, you'd go to that picture. The downside would be that you wouldn't have the captions anymore, but you could get the captions on the sorted-by-book pages ... see? Am I being terribly confusing? I think I'm starting to confuse myself and that's never a good sign.

Oh, no, I see! And I do like the idea; I noticed on some of the pages, the table is too short for the picture; as in they're going off the page. And perhaps the year, or at least relative age of the linked-to picture? I like the concept though, I say go for it!

(Incidently, I love your Terra Extra page. :D And The Iron Giant is the most amazing animated movie ever, YES. And is Silverwing ever showing in the US? Because I really really liked those books. xD; )

Yay! Maybe you can create a Discworld section--just for Discworld. J K Rowling is wonderful, but she never has quotable quotes about pins. Or spoons. Or socks.
