Input appreciated

[CDN_Blood]

Okay, I *think* I've got it how it'll be until I tire of it and change format, but since I think it's complete, I'm looking for feedback on my personal site.

I was aiming for something ultra-clean, simple and easy to navigate on a mobile device, all of which I believe I've achieved, but any input would be valuable since it was developed on a Mac. As a past Windows Guru who's made the switch, my patience with PCs is too short to even bother checking it on one, so fresh eyes hitting the site with various browsers would be awesome 'cause I only designed it for Safari and Firefox, so IE may have some issues.

I'm also looking for fresh eyes to spot any inconsistencies I may have overlooked after seeing it entirely too much.

Please note that this is simply a personal website - I'm not breeding, selling, trading or anything of that sort. I've also avoided Flash, whistles and bells that can't be viewed on a mobile device, so don't be expecting anything eye-popping :)

Thanks!

I went to it on my phone to see if it was clear and it is. Easy to navigate through from my blackberry :) I really liked the photos and the short bios about your snakes. Very personalized. The "care sheet" page about bloods is well written. I'm not an expert or anything, but I didn't spot any inconsistencies in the bits that I read. I would've liked more written info in the "Others" section about Tanner etc. Congrats! The website is very nice, simple, and informative :)

[CDN_Blood]

Wow, that's all good stuff! Thanks so much, Alessia :)

As for the more info thing, there is a little more about them on each of their respective pages, but if there's something specific you think should be there for each, by all means let me know!

I am going to stand by my pm. I like what I see. My only internet access is on my Android cellphone. Everything works great. I didn't notice any typos or anything but I am going to check again
Functional and clean..

[CDN_Blood]

Awesome! Thanks for your input, Korbin5895!

[KORBIN5895]

Call me Kevin.

Todd very nice job and thank you! I spent two weeks about a month ago trying to find that chart on Bloods and their weight. I was on another site and someone was asking about what a health size was and i try to find it, but couldn't. Use to have it on my old computer before it crashed. Anyway now i have it saved to this one Thank you.

As for the site it looks great. I really like the old friend album. You have had quite the collection over the years.

[CDN_Blood]

Well thanks, Marvelfreak! I can't take credit for the graphic, but I do certainly subscribe to it and I do find it to be accurate and helpful.

The Old Friends album...well, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to have it see the light of day. Those animals gave me many-many hours of pleasure over the years :)

[marvelfreak]

Well thanks, Marvelfreak! :)
You can call me Chuck. Everyone can i don't mind.

[Lankyrob]

Just did a quick visit using IE and it all looks good to me :)

[CDN_Blood]

Excellent, thanks Lankyrob! And please, don't give me another name to remember - I'm old and I confuse easily...<looks around, bewildered> Now what was I talking about? :D

[Terranaut]

Yup worked perfect on my iPhone. Looks great.

[CDN_Blood]

Awesome again, thanks Terranaut!

[Gungirl]

[Lankyrob]

Excellent, thanks Lankyrob! And please, don't give me another name to remember - I'm old and I confuse easily...<looks around, bewildered> Now what was I talking about? :D


Thats why my real name is part of my screen name - otherwise i might forget it too!! :rolleyes:

[CDN_Blood]

Thanks, Kat! Please feel free to let me know if you notice any inconsistencies. I just noticed (and corrected) a few inconsistent things on the Blood Lines page - I like all classifications to be italicized and they should be that format on every page.

[CK SandBoas]

It worked perfectly on my phone! And you have and had some amazing animals:)

[lady_bug87]

Great site, easy to Navigate and the pictures are awesome.. Gracie is so sweet looking I've never seen a picture of her before very cool

[KORBIN5895]

[alessia55]

I call you Korbin and I like it more than Kevin :yes:

[KORBIN5895]

I like it better too. Stupid heroin! What were my parents thinking when they names me!

[Norm66]

Nice site. I love the fact that you can read I easily. No green text on blue background gets thumbs up from me. Works great on my iPad.

[Terranaut]

Awesome again, thanks Terranaut!

You welcome. Loved to see the old shots of you and previous pets ;) I had the long hair too ;) also the snake 101 bits are fantastic and I would send new owners links to them. Well done.

[Terranaut]

Good job Rob! Now he is going to start calling me Korbin. Sigh well terranaut you will now be known as Terry.

Nope can't be Terry. It's Dan.

[CDN_Blood]

Thanks so much to everyone who's provided input! It's very much appreciated :D

[SpOoKy]

Thats why my real name is part of my screen name - otherwise i might forget it too!!

HA! sorry I literally laughed aloud reading this. Rob your sense of humor reminds me of a good friend I had. A few times I have read some of your responses and thought automatically of him :)

Oh and yeah, the site looks great, good job :)

[Jacob1750]

Very cool site, judging by the friends of the past album, you have kept some pretty amazing herps.

[shaunyboy]

your site looks great todd

so does your snakes mate

cheers shaun

[millertime89]

I really like it, simple and clean, I really like the ophidophobia page.

[jdavy]

The site's looking great, Todd. Is the "Old Friends" section new? I didn't see that section when you first showed me the site (maybe I just missed it somehow).

I really like it. Clean, functional, informative, and personal. All the things that a great personal site should be!

Nice work!

[CDN_Blood]

Thanks again, everyone!

The Old Friends page was added a day or two after I first took it online. I can't forget my old friends ya know, they're the ones that got me where I am today :)

The Ophidiophobia page was just uploaded today. That was spurred by a neighbour asking if I could help another one try to get over her fear, so now I have a page I can point people to so they can prepare for what's coming when they ask for help with that particular problem. It's something that's rarely addressed, so I figure it's good to have at least 1 spot folks can point to for ideas in helping others past the fear :)

[millertime89]

I appreciate it, I'm gonna be using it with my new roommates, they're a little... skittish about snakes in the house.

[jaleely]

wow, you know what? I really like it! It's plain, but in an elegant way. I'll have to check it out on my phone before bed!

[CDN_Blood]

Thanks, folks!

Does anyone find not having links underlined to be a problem? I have applied the Underline standard to links here and there which aren't in sections clearly containing links (e.g. Photo Albums), but I know most folks aren't really used to that idea quite yet...

I catch links even if they're not underlined, but that's only because I spend a lot of time on blogs that don't use them. But it's much more helpful if they're there to make it more user-friendly. Either that or you can put in parenthesis (link) so people know where to click for more information. Just a thought :) Like I've said before, I really like the website as a whole

[millertime89]

I think its best to underline the links so people catch them.

They're underlined now, but I hate it, LOL :)

[KORBIN5895]

The remove them. Its your site. People will catch on.
