Alright, here’s my new site… it’s a lot better than that crappy bubbly one, I think. It’s about as done as it’s going to get for right now. [http://raf.lavaland.net/flash.htm](http://raf.lavaland.net/flash.htm) Oh, and check out the text me feature - I finally wrote the whole thing in PHP. Anyways, I could use some constructive criticism. Raf ---

Wow - this site really is awesome!! The navigation, the cool banner that displays new images near the top is very good 🙂 The only problem is that any pixel fonts that are scrolled have a tendency to get blurred when the user stops on a non-pixel value while scrolling. Great site overall! Cheers! Kirupa 😛 ---

yeah , nice work Raf :beam: Much nicer than the blubbly site. Great work. One thing i found kinda annoying, is when you switch the nav (by the way great idea 🙂 ) and you mouse over a bubble , it follows your mouse, when i went back to switch the nav again the bubble was still following my mouse, so yeah maybe make a safe area or something around the switch butt , other than that, nice site 🙂 ---

A couple of other things, titles on top migh be a bit too big, You could make them a bit smaller and could be just as effective. -the text in your resume in some places is very close to the scroller. - text can be made smaller in the bio section. Thats all i can see now. -by the way did you create that image on the top in the bio section? ---

thanks for your comments. Soulty, I got the picture from a stock photo site. It was nice and wide… I’m working on doing something for when you catch all the bubbles. I’ll also create a safe area for the bubbly menu… that’s a good idea. ---

yeah, I did a preloader… but it was something thrown together, and my connections at home and at work are fast… so I can’t notice the preloader… I have to check that it’s working right. I had a feeling it wasnt. ---

ya its not working buddy what you could do is emulate a 56k connection in flash by pressing ctrl enter two times and you will see exactly how the site behaves on a 56k connection ---

yeah you could do that, or you could switch on show streaming, test your movie and on the tabs above go to View/show streaming and you can select what type of connection you want to test by going to debug menu. ---

Raf, looks very nice One thing that happened to me was that the “home” button got stuck on the view it turns into when the mouse is over it. I don’t know if I’m just a moron and I broke your pretty work or if it’s something that can be fixed. My favorite part is how I’m under “cool people” in the links. 😛 ---
