WWW pages of the past
It's amazing how much WWW pages change over time. Thus I've decided
to take some screen shots. Every month or so I'll take a screen shot,
so that the development of the pages can be viewed. Here's a few that
I've managed to get a screen shot of. I've also added a basic set of
rules for the design of my Home page (although please be warned I've
not had any formal training in WWW design, so I may be teaching all
the wrong principles).
March 1999. The earliest one I can find is from March
1999 . I used frames for the main page (which now look a little dated,
but at the time frames were seen as the best way to design pages). The
main page had three main frames (top, right and main). The top frame
had five main options which changed the menu options of the right
frame. The top frame include the following options:
- Home. This set the page to the Home page [See March
1999 (main)].
- Books. This allowed access to information on my books[See
March 1999 (books)].
- CV. This gave a very basic HTML-based CV.
- Pictures. This displayed some of my Web camera pictures.
- Research. This gave some information on my research [See
March 1999 (research)].
August 2000. This is my latest WWW page, and I think it is
starting to look a little cluttered, as my original design isn't
really coping with my new pages. Thus I'll be working on a new WWW
design, which is relatively simple, and usable (not an easy thing).
The design is based on a table (although it simulate a frame, as all
the sub-pages are built with the same table format. Most of the
sub-pages have the same menu options on the left hand side column. As
these are repeated graphics the sub-page does not have to resend these
graphics images, thus, once the page has loaded, it should not take
too long to load all the resultant pages.
I've tried to minimize the usage of Flash on the main page
(just in case that the Flash Player is not installed, but I've
included a little graphic on the top right-hand side which displays
the word Home, which gently appears, one letter at a time.
