Re: My first attempt at a web site - comments are welcome!
Hey Pavlos, It looks very good :) It's great that you've started up your own site. Some comments (meant to be helpful, not critisism):
-The pink names aren't really easy for me to read, because they bland in a bit with the background, the greek letters in brackets are easier to read, because they're brighter (maybe reverse them?)-would it be possible to make a comma thingy (to indicate the daseia) on the A when the name starts with an H (because otherwise it isn't really clear why it should start with an H)-maybe 'meaning' would be a good idea, to start with rigth away because otherwise it might get hard to distinguish meanings from additional info. example:
---from agathos (good), a woman of good character.
---from agathos (good) and archon (leader), name of a painter from Samos.
The explanation 'a woman of good character' and the additional info 'name of a painter from Samos' now have the same layout, which is fine for now, but once there are heaps of names there it might get confusing. - I like the blue and pink for male and female, it's good to have it so clear whether the name it male or female. I like the way the site looks as a whole. The font is easy to read and I like the name of the site :) Good luck with making it into a more extensive database!btw: I didn't know it was possible for a Greek word with an A to transliterate into a word with an S, I thought it was only into an H.

Hey Mar, thanks for the great feedback :) > The pink names aren't really easy for me to read...
Agree :)> would it be possible to make a comma thingy (to indicate the daseia)
I will try to install polytonic script :) I am sure it will take a lot of trial and error before getting it right.>maybe 'meaning' would be a good idea, to start with rigth away
I Agree 100%!!!> I like the blue and pink for male and female
I Stole that idea from Cleveland Kent Evans's book :)> btw: I didn't know it was possible for a Greek word with an A to transliterate into a word with an S
Yes :) I cannot think of one off hand but I am sure I will find some on the way. An example is the word salt, which is derived fron "alas" (which has a daseia).Cheers,
Pavlos
