I'm looking to get screenshots of my website. I'd like to know how it looks in other browsers/platforms. I designed it completely in XHTML 1.0 and CSS2. In the browsers I've tested it in, it works everywhere.
I'd like to get screenshots of my website as an example of what XHTML+CSS is capable of.
Specifically I'm looking for IE3/4/5/5.5 for Windows; any and all browsers for Mac (Classic or OSX), BeOS, Linux, Unix flavors, Palm Pilots, or whatever else you can take a screenshot in.
My URL is http://www.skyzyx.com . Current screenshots are posted at http://host44.ipowerweb.com/~skyzyxco/screenshots/
If you could upload them to here, provide a link from your website, or email me at skyzyx(at)skyzyx.com, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Also if you want to provide feedback on the site, I'd be glad to listen to suggestions on how to make it better!
Thanks in advance!
Yar baby. IE5/Win2K, that's me. :cool:
Here you go (http://ababa.net/cf/Skyzyx.png).

Wonderful! You've been most helpful! Anyone else?

Here's one of IE5.5 on WinNT; only, it's 800x600 since I'm using a 15" company monitor, and I deemed a higher res unusable.
(I had to compress it like crazy to fit it in the post, but you get the general idea; I can assure you it looked fine on screen without the jpg artifacts).

Nearly overlooked the "... I'd be glad to listen to suggestions..."; gotta use that! :D
Layout and visual appearance are great; very nice touch, those bevelled edges (seen before, but applied with taste)! Looove the dark-grayish-blue headers, too.
Navigation is a bit... well, unclear. Where do these links take me? I keep looking down at the status bar to find out if I'm navigating through the site or get sent elsewhere!
In relation to that: where's "home"? Everbody needs a home... (how 'bout the site logo?)
Don't make the pages soooooooo long; break 'm up into smaller ones. Oh, did I mention navigation?
Although the layout give a pleasant, roomy, "airy" feeling, in smaller windows there isn't much usable space left; you might want to consider cutting down a bit on margins and padding, especially outside the main div: I feel the most can be gained by cutting that down without compromising the roomy feeling I mentioned earlier too much.

What do you suggest? The only off-site links are those to Coding Forums, and Web Standards (Zeldman, A List Apart, W3C) sites.

Good idea. I meant to do that earlier.

As far as length, mainly only the front page blog is very long. Most of the other pages/articles aren't very long. Anyways, most people I've talked to prefer things like articles all on one page. It also allows me to set up a print stylesheet easier.

In order to not spoil my layout, I've set up a second (and a third) stylesheet and a style-switcher script for people using smaller monitors. I had anticipated this problem before, so I set up a button to toggle the right-hand navigation, but apprently it wasn't obvious enough. Hopefully, this will be a better solution.
I appreciate the feedback! Has anyone else got any more screenshots (preferably Linux, OS/2, Mac, etc.)?

Okay, I gotta take that back for parts; I got thrown of by the "real" urls. Still, to separate onsite from offsite links a bit more, I'd suggest moving the onsite links categories to the top of the menu, and move the offsite links categories below that, maybe with a little header indicating that following links take you off the site. Links to your own site should be the most important ones, right?

Well... I checked "Articles" and it took me 18 page-downs to reach the bottom with the default style, and still 14 with the "small screens" style (which isn't as pretty, you got thát right). True, the javascript pages are far shorter and with the small screens style they even fit my window!

Yep; found them! They all say "abc" and only reveal their true intend on mouse-over; smells like "mystery meat"... ;)
How about setting the body margins at a percentage instead of a fixed pixel size?
