Disclaimer:
I'd like to say right up front, that I am not a web designer. I'd like to know more about it and I probably will gain more knowledge over the years, but at the moment, I'm pretty far from it.
If you are a web designer, please forgive me.
There are many issues. My code is not "valid." I use frames. Although the idea of CSS is clear to me, how to use it is a mystery.
Comments are always welcome and I will attempt to reply to any email sent to me up until the hate mail fills the inbox.
That said, here is more about these pages.
Concept:
The idea behind the website design was to have a really cool frame around the outside with awesome graphics. If you are familiar with the video game "Myst," you'll know what I had in mind. It was supposed to resize perfectly to any screen resolution and be color coded per topic.
But my lack of webmastering skills got in the way. Realizing that a full frame would take up too much space on the screen, especially if others did not have the kind of screen resolution I did, I had to shrink it to a console along just the top and the left side.
Well, I had trouble implementing that. Compromise after compromise was made until you have the website in the form it is now.
The only thing left of the original concept is color coded topics (this one is yellow in case there is something wrong with your monitor).
I call it a webbook because I figure it's a whole bunch of webpages, right.
Settings:
To view this site the way I do, your screen should be sized to 1280 x 1024. It still looks decent at slightly smaller resolutions and of course larger ones are not a problem.
Also, you will need to load the font "Isadora" into your fonts folder. I'll make it available here if I can figure out how.
If you have any questions or comments, you can send them here:
Please put "WEBSITE:" as the first word in the subject line, exactly as it is here. If you don't I'll more than likely delete it as spam before it is ever read. I can also be reached through the following forums under the name of either ozone or Profozone:

Layout:
New content that is added to old pages will be in grey for a while before the font is changed to its native color. If the update is significant, then it will be noted on the home page, as well.
Dates indicate when an entry was made, not necessarily when the work is done. It often takes me a while to upload picture of my work.
