Default Bridgeport mill website for a friend

Hi,

I am just a HSM and after meeting Don I took a liking to him and he to me. I
made this web site for Don, he is the guy I bought my Bridgeport mill from.

When you get to the pics page, the customers mill is the one I bought from
him.

He's has about 9 more mills ready to sell, but does'nt want to ship them,
just sell locally?, (still have not figured this out), but I might be able
to talk him into shipping one or two, really do not know, but I can ask.
Link below.

Anyway, let me know what you think of the website and now I am going out to
my shop to make more chips.

I think his website isn't up yet and
you should specify where he is located.

Take the apostrophes out of the URLs. I think this is probably what is
stopping people viewing the pages. Otherwise it looks like a nice site
and service!

Comment about the website:
Rename the main page (you call Don's_Entry_Page.html) to index.html

Comment about Don and his machines,
I bought MY BP from Don :-) The machine is in excelent shape, just as good
as those pictures look.
Although I didn't opt for one of his more expensive machines, (no DRO I had
one, no Ball Screws) mine came with new class 3 spindle bearings, new screws
and nuts, servo powerfeed on X, and a reground table (as Don says "to get
rid of all those fricken pecker tracks") and a oneshot lube system. I'm
quite happy with it and would certianly recommend him to anyone willing to
drive to the bay area to pick one up.

O.K. In order of them becoming apparent to me:

1) The apostrophe ("'") in "Don's_Entry_Page.html" is a pain on some
systems, such as my unix systems, when invoking the web browser
separately from the newsreader. Can you please drop it?

Once in the browser, it is no real problem, but from the unix
command line, it is a nuisance, as the system want's another one
to finish quoting whatever it thinks is being quoted. :-)

I had to fight the system to get it accepted on the command line
just so I could start the browser on that page.

2) It would be nice to have at least city, state, and country
indicated on the front page, especially since he does not wish
to ship anything.

3) On the "pictures" page, since there is no real text interleaving
the pictures, it would be nice to be able to click on arrows
once you have selected one larger image, to step through all
photos, instead of having to return to the "pictures" page,
remember which one you last clicked on, and click on the next.

Actually -- a bit of text accompanying each image on its own
page would probably help as well.

4) Some of the photos are a bit dark, and could probably be
improved by tweaking the gamma a bit in your favorite image
manipulation program.

5) The addition of a link on each page taking you back to the main
page, or just the next level up, would be helpful -- especially
for those who got to a single photo by following a link posted
by someone. (Yes, I know that my own page is guilty of the same
thing in places, but there are a lot more pages to fix than you
have at present. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.

It is up, but I suspect that you got hit by the same problem
that I did when I first tried to go there -- the "'" in "Don's".

Enjoy,
DoN.

CLIP

Rename it to.... (drum roll please....)

index.html

That will erase almost every problem you are having with the entry page.
