Information about how these pages are created
Testing the site:
The site is checked using a variety of browsers. The main one used whilst creating the site, is Netsurf because it is very fast, and has good CSS support. It is also tested against Firefox 2 under RISC OS.
Occasionally I run over the website using MSIE 7 (if I can find an unused PC somewhere) to make sure it looks ok for Windows users. Every now and again I connect the Netbook up to the internet and check to see how the site loads and renders, using Web 2.0 and Opera 5.14. Also the site is tested with a range of older RISC OS browsers to amuse myself.
The main browsers I use for checking the site on the mac are Firefox 2, Opera, and Safari 1 and 2 under MacOSX Panther and Tiger. I occasionally start up a version of MSIE that was supplied with the mac mini just to see if all is ok.
To allow me to check the site locally on the Iyonix, using the RISC OS port of Firefox I use WebJames to serve the pages. It is also used for serving pages across the network to the macs and other network devices at home. Safari 1 seems to barf at running html pages directly off the Iyonix hard drive although Firefox 2 seems to work fine.
I confess to not running the pages past an 'official' html checker. They work fine for me, however if someone spots a 'show stopper' of a bug let me know.
Proofreading of the site is done by my sister Nina, and occasionally when she is very busy, by Damae. It is almost impossible to ensure error free text but it helps enormously having other people read your text before you upload it. Thanks to both of them.
