Evaluation of Philatelic Websites Revisited
Ten years ago and earlier this was a hot topic on RCSD, being related to the
then Annual FIP Philatelic Website Evaluations. The interest for this subject revived this year with the exhibition IPHLA 2012, where the philatelic pages presented on digital media are accepted again in the competition. Based on my rather long experience in stamp collecting and in the creation of philatelic web pages, I deal in my new article with the evolution of philatelic websites, taking a no nonsense approach to their evaluation. http://www.pwmo.org/IPHLA/12-evaluation-websites.htm Your feedback is welcomed. -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

In your concluding section on the new regulations, you intermix quotes without quote marks and your comments, both in the same font/style. This make is hard to read as I had to puzzle out what what quite or paraphare and what was your comment. |

I have checked in IE & Firefox, on the monitors of two different PCs, and the difference in font sizes has been obvious. Anyway, I inserted in the text quotation marks, which should solve the problem on any screens.

Anyway, I inserted in the text quotation marks, which should solve the problem on any screens. Your css says ..style3 {font-size: 10pt} *you use this for quotes* ..style5 {font-size: 14px} One chart I found says that 10 pt = 13px, (7% difference) but depending on OS, font, browser. One should probably add: perhaps also depending on browser settings and screen size and resolution. I have FF, Win7, 1680x1050 screen. In any case, I cannot see a difference, even with magnification. Same with and without Javascript. With Javascript on, there is a floating "Front page .... Exhibitions" bar which bobs up and down when I scroll, returning to a position down from the top of screen but on top of the text, which scrolls beneath. This is really annoying. It should either be tied to the top of the page, under the banner, or to the top of the screen. |

With FF, W7, one screen 1920 x 1080, the other 1920 x 1200 (both recommended), the bigger font looks about twice so tall as the other one. Anyway, I have changed the style3 and I hope that now it is OK on your screen too. As for the floating menu bar, I raised it to the top of the screen, this being one of your suggestions. Hopefully it is better now. Many thanks. -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

So many webpages go for 'effects' and forget that the -=information=- contained within IS the real purpose. Thankfully the days of flashing text and rotating colours seem to behind ... or are they? |

Additionally, while I understand that English is not your base language, you should have the page checked for grammar. Run it through MS Word and most of the major errors of tense, etc. should be caught. |

As in bad Westerns films, Sir Ryan is shooting anything that moves, forgetting that not everything that's flying is eatable (Romanian proverb). The moving menu is there for a reason but because of it he oversees the real purpose of the page, "the -=information=-" (cannot see the forest for the trees?) -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Interesting that you write about yourself in the third person - is this the 'royal we' creeping out? It depends on the context. When I speak about the author, it is in the third person. When I recommend something, I use the first person. And as a speaker for an organization I write "we at PWO". Haven't found a better way. Additionally, while I understand that English is not your base language, you should have the page checked for grammar. The page was checked (automatically) twice. If this article will be one day printed, it will be carefully proof-checked by a knowledgeable person. Run it through MS Word and most of the major errors of tense, etc. should be caught. This is an illusion. If you know well enough a foreign language, Sir, give your own advice a try, and I assure you that you won't be happy... BTW, the original of the article was written in MS Word. Of course all mistakes are mine and I assume them entirely. Interestingly enough, with all due respect, I noticed that some stamp collectors on the _French_ philatelic ng had much more to say than you about the contents of my article (no translation being provided).

Your floating menu bar is ok when scrolling down, but flies back up when scrolling up. It is your choice, of course, but I would have left the menu bar fixed at the top of the page and have it disappear as the reader scrolls through your document. Apparently nobody ever puts "return to top" links in a scrolling window anymore. Bill |
