    Some quick observations:

    Initial page: Clicking the English button does not change the sidebar text (on the right).

    Bio: The English version has a wierd text wrap on 1990 in the sidebar.

    Press: After clicking the picture, loading it in the current browser window, then clicking back, I am back at the initial page instead of the Press page. You might want to have the pictures load in a new window.

    CDs: Same problem as above when I click the link to go buy a CD. I like the "jukebox" pop-up window. That's a slick little interface.

    Contact: You might want to spell out the email address for Katrine like you did for her manager. Some people don't have an email client configured to handle a "mailto" link (especially web mail users such as Hotmail).

    Hope that helps. It looks really good. The only other suggestion I might have is a volume slider to go with the music on/off link in the top left.

    Hello and thanks for the observations :-)

    >> Well, - it's both in danish and english at the same time, - you are right it's a bit confusing and I'm going to change it.


    Bio: The English version has a wierd text wrap on 1990 in the sidebar.

    >> Again, - I didn't see that one, - but you are right it looks a bit wierd, - I'll have a go at that one too.

    CDs: Same problem as above when I click the link to go buy a CD. I like the "jukebox" pop-up window. That's a slick little interface.

    >> good idea, - I'll do that.

    Contact: You might want to spell out the email address for Katrine like you did for her manager. Some people don't have an email client configured to handle a "mailto" link (especially web mail users such as Hotmail).

    >> Okay, - you are full of goodies, - that one I'm also going to fix.

    Hope that helps. It looks really good. The only other suggestion I might have is a volume slider to go with the music on/off link in the top left.

    >> Yes, - thanks a lot, - I'dont know about the slider though, - well, - if I get the time I'll make one.

    -monster.


    >> Regards from Godowsky, - thanks for the help :-)

    Ok, the music is very nice.. the girl picture that fades into black on the right.. is perfect. (Not many people really understand how good that looks, everybody seemes to like to cut images off, but anyways.. back to the subject) (And most people also don't understand the effect of HUGE text in the background... something that i developed.. or anyway.. was one of the first people on the net to use.) I don't understand why the main text "Katrine Gislinges ... øjeblikket" Should be Right-Justified. I would recommend making the text fade into black while the background of the text is fading into a yello-white color. And the yellow-white color should fade out when the mouse goes off the button. The scrollbar isn't needed on everypage, -- only if there is enough text to scroll. Ex "kontakt" Another thing.. i would recommend saving your pictures as *.jpg images, instead of Quicktime *.tif images. Not everyone has quicktime and -- jpegs load much quicker.

    Hello again and thanks again, -

    well, - I'm not quite sure what you mean about the "Katrine Gislinges ... øjeblikket" thing?? It sounds interesting though :-)

    The scroll bar is there because all the text on the side are loaded from different external textfiles, - in this way I have just used ONE movieclip for all the text and it's very easy to update, - just open your notepad and you're done.

    So, - because it's automatic the scroll bar changes it's size automatic, - and when it's not needed, - well, actually there isn't a scroll bar, - just an indication that in this aera we have a scroll bar if it's needed.

    The reason it's tiff and not jpeg is because its for offline material like newspapers and magazines and not the internet, - also the target audience are journalists etc who normally are on high speed connections at work.

    And tiff is not and unknown format to photoshop,- the program most proffs use, - and actually the free image software provided by windows also knows the format.

    Regards again and thanks again
