I .... (Navigating 'Dreams)
~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Quickest, And Easiest Way To Navigate The
Site Is Via The 'Left Input' Console's.
You Have Probaly Noticed That There Are Individual
Sub Link Routine's Within The Console.
If You Let The Mouse Hover Over The Text It
Will Tell You Where It Will Take You.
There Is Also A Top 'Navigation Bar' To Enable
You To Jump Between The Different 'Graphix'
Categories. These Will ALWAYS Take You To That
Main Gallery Section.
In the MAIN Gallery Sub Routine You Will See
Two Scrolling 'Throttle' Type Bar's, Toward The
Top Of The Screen. These Are The
Control's For The Text Area Below.
They Are Labelled 'Scroll Down' & 'Scroll Up'.
And That's What They Will Do To The Text.
Hover The Mouse Over Them To Opperate.
(There Is No Need To Click)
Down The Bottom You Will Often Find Three Other
Navigation Link's. These Are :
Main Page - Take's You To The Main Page.
Gallerries - Take's You To The Main Content Page.
Mail - Drop Me A Line .. Go On :)
When In The 'Galleries' You Will Find Available
Work's Listed To Your RIGHT.
These Will Take You :
1st - To The Main Thumbnail Pic.
Clicking This Will Open A
New Window ...
2nd - WIth The FULL Size Pic In.
(See Section V For Help On Saving)
~____________________________________~
II .... (General Trouble Shooting)
~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Site Uses Frame's & Java. (See Section IV).
- - - - - - -
If You Find Square's Where There Should Be
A Graphic :
1st - Try Reloading/Refreshing The Page.
2nd - Right Click The Mouse Over Where The
Pic Should Be, Goto
Show/View Picture.
- - - - - - -
AOL Users :
If The Graphics Look Somewhat Wrong,
(Colours Out Or Blurred)
Check Your WWW Properties & Uncheck
Compress Graphics. This Should Stop
Tour Browser From Trying To Compress
The Graphics (.jpg's Are Already Compressed).
- - - - - - -
If The Text Doesn't Seem To Fit, Check Your
Browser's Font Setting's :
IE - Goto Browser Menu Bar -
-View
-Text Size
Netscape - Goto Browser Menu Bar -
-View
- -Increase Font
-Decrease Font
- - - - - - -
If Any URL's (Clickable Link's) Don't Work,
Again Try Refresh/Reload. If They Still Won't
Work The Link Could Be Broken ..
(Misspelled URL; who me?, The Server Is Down/Moved,
The Object No Longer Exist's At That Loaction).
In Which Case PLEASE E-Mail Me So I Can Fix It . :)

III ....(IE vs Netscape .. Other Browser's)
~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Mainly Seem's To Be A Matter Of Personal
Preference. (I Prefer Netscape .. But !!).
IE Pretty Much Come's With Everything Now.
Netscape Is Also Freely Available :-
The Diffrence .. Ah Well ..
There Are Certain Command's And Effect's That Work
In One But Not The Other :(
This Can Cause Loads Of Compatibility Problems When
Designing Web Page's. If It Won't Work It Often
Crashes Out!
.. Oh Example's ..
Welllll ....
If You're Viewing This Site In IE (5+ Preferably)
You Will Have Noticed Dynamic Text Effect's .
(Coloured Link's, Flashing Mouse Over Text etc).
You Won't See These In Netscape (?yet?), Or Older
Browser Version's. The Other Text Effect's Will
Mostly Be 'Java' Or Animated .gif's. These Have Been
Coded To Work In All But The Oldest Browser's.
- - - - - - -
Other Browser's .... ?
Ummm ... When I Get To Know Them A Bit Better ..eh?
~____________________________________~
IV ....(Enabling 'Java' IE /Netscape)
~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Java Is Usually Enabled As Default In Most Browsr's.
It Is A Programming Code That Allows Use Of Flashy
And Complicated Effect's, Post Forms etc.

About 3 Scrollbar Click's Down 'Java'.
Make Sure It's Not Disabled.
Netscape - Goto Browser Toolbar-
-Edit
-Preferences ...
Then Click On 'Advanced' In the Left Pane
Java Option's Appear On Right (enable).
