My attempt is complete!
« on: July 02, 2003, 03:47:29 pm »
I've completed my first cab.  Check out the website at:

http://tinyurl.com/fflo

Note, this is a small server so if you don't get in right away, keep giving it a shot.  Also, it's under a dynamic IP configuration, so if the URL stops working, let me know and I'll tinyurl another one.  Here's a final pic attached.

Overall I thought it went pretty well for a first try, but I'm also glad it is done!  We plan on playing a few games and drinking a few beers tonight to celebrate!

Paul

Thanks!

On the pic size, is the complaint the large pics, or the small thumbs on the pages?  Most of the low-res images are 4-8k which brings tha average page size up a bit.

Overall, I wasn't that concerned about it.  I remember when I had a slow modem about 5-6 years ago....  I would wait for 10 mins to look at a site I really wanted to see  :D

Looks great. Love the colour.

I agree with Snake about the picture size. There's no real need to have pictures that are 2160x1440 in size, unless you were showing details of something. Even then that's heafty. Also a bit of cropping wouldn't go amiss.

I've resized the larger images - check it out and let me know if it is better.
