After MJ & I discovered how to make SSI work, I had incentive to update design of mediatinker.com again. Now the most recent work and other blogs are listed on the index page and all of the subsections are more clearly tied into the site.
I like it but websites are never finished and no doubt there will be more improvements in the not-so-far future. Right after I get some of my paying work done!

Posted by: gomichild on November 11, 2002 06:39 PMBTW if you want the whole message to come up (on the main page) instead of a partial message then you gotta change it in the blog config - from “20” to - well a lot more. Then the whole message will come up (dunno whether you wanna do this or not but it was tricky to find)…

Posted by: kuri on November 11, 2002 06:47 PMHi,
Just thought I would give my unsolicited two cents :)
The white background with grey text is a bit hard for me to read…perhaps black text? On the other hand, the white background sets off the photos nicely.
Also, center-justified text is good for poems and such, but it is harder for western eyes to follow.
I love the new header graphic, quite stylish
Posted by: Bob on November 12, 2002 03:17 AMCentered text? Where? It’s not specified in any of my CSS that way and I don’t see any in Mozilla 1.1, IE 5 or Omniweb 4.1. Are you using an older browser, Bob?
Thanks for your 2 cents. :-)
Posted by: kuri on November 12, 2002 08:11 AMGood Morning,
Ah, I see. In my browser all the text in your posts are center-justified.
I’m using Internet Explorer 6.0 w/Service Pack 1.
Take care.
Posted by: Bob on November 12, 2002 08:37 AMMy text here too is center justified (IE6 and IE5), but other then that it looks great. (There’s a div align=center right before the table that holds the actual text entry.)
Posted by: Mike on November 12, 2002 09:17 AMOK, I removed that but added an align=center to the that contains the content table (I don’t want the content squished up against the left edge of the main table).
It looks the same for me; any changes for those who saw centered text? Sorry I can’t check myself—no Microsoft OSes in my house.
Posted by: kuri on November 12, 2002 10:17 AMHi, nice update to your page. I am also seeing centered text for the blog using IE 6. Good work though.
Posted by: Jason Au on November 12, 2002 10:52 AMChecked on a PC with IE 5.5—left justified text. Opera 6.01—left justified text. IE 6—screwed up centered text. Even NS 4.76 showed the text left justified (though the CSS was too complex in another part). It also looks OK on Mozilla and Opera under FreeBSD.
So if this works in every other browser I can test on, do you think IE 6 is broken? Or have I nested code in a way that is non-standard? I don’t think so, but…
