Archived from groups: alt>www>webmaster (more info?)

Just gave a facelift to an old site and would like some feedback.
Especially curious about page load times on dialup.

www.rigrunnersfishing.com

The owner really likes it, although he accused me of being stoned when I
made it for some reason......ha ha

Thanks,
Mike

The red, white and blue theme doesn't really match the content, but
otherwise it looks pretty good.

Hey Charles and Matt,
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.beachhousetexas.com/Aboutthehouse.html" target="_blank">http://www.beachhousetexas.com/Aboutthehouse.html</a>
This was a link on the site ... if it's still there after the hurricane,
it's just what I'm looking for Smile

Mike, you were stoned when you made it, weren't you?
I think it's great. Very fluid and actually visually appropriate for
the topic. I use Moz Firebird on a broadband connection and it loaded
quickly for me.

Yes it does say that. Dolphin (a.k.a. dorado and mahi-mahi) are fish, not
porpoise like Flipper! LOL

The top left pic on the home page is a dolphin. Great eating!

Note that it's biologically correct to refer to them as "dolphin fish" or
"dolphin-fish" as they do in scientific journals. JFYI

Great picture. Not sure which looks better.. that fish or the
fisherman holding it. *grin*

Hmm Galveston is not that far. Maybe I need to go fishing.
*laughs*

Texas rivers are nice but having lived on an island a good portion
of my life I miss the ocean and ocean fishing.

Yeah I guess that would clarify things a bit. Guess I should've read my
scientific journals more closely. But ask most any saltwater fisherman what
a dolphin is and they will tell you it's a much sought after fish!

Does this mean you're a marine biologist in addition to webmaster?

Catfishing in our rivers is fun...but absolutely nothing compares to a good
day of offshore fishing!

You would like to rent this house? You definately need to check if it was
damaged by the hurricane before you start making plans.

The site's owner now calls me the "Jim Morrison of the internet". But I

Sorry, it was an inside joke ... for when the world ends %^)
I'm a reclusive, old hippie chick looking for a hide-a-way home. The
beach house is safe since it's not only in the US but down 'dere in
Texass.

Yeah I hope it wasn't too bad there. Not much happened here...
too far inland. Did get some moderately high winds and rain though.

Yes I love catfishing. One time while going after catfish I got about
a 40 pound Carp on the line. It put up such a great fight. I was so full of
adrenaline
by the time it was over I had the shakes. *grin*
