Re: critique needed

Hello,

On: yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au/~rickman/myinttimeline.html

The page was a little slow, but eventually came up. But I'm on the 
east coast of the US, so it may not be important. Your other URL 
never showed up. Also, could you prefix your URL in e-mail messages 
with http:// so that it will be clickable in my e-mail program? It's 
one less step to do to critique a page. Also, what's the deal with 
the "(or .htm)" comment? It is probably better to use one naming 
format and stick with it.

Comments on the page:

1. For the decade years, maybe a highlight, similar to a background 
color in a table. Use a one cell table the width of the page. Before 
1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990 you have a horizontal rule, but not before 
1950 and 1940.  

2. In 1987, I'd spell out "number" instead of putting "No"

3. Resource #7 could be a hyper link.

4. 1996: the discussion of T1 and T3 connection isn't a complete 
sentence, so isn't similar to the rest of the page.

5. What's the relevance of the Watergate scandal and Nixon resigning? 
Either add a reason why, or add the other important political events 
that have occurred, for example, the assassination of President 
Kennedy in November 1963. And the Watergate scandal was in 1970, but 
the resignation was a year or two later.

6. Should you include exact dates when they are known? Nixon resigned 
in August, 197?, but does the exact date really matter on this page? 

Overall, I liked this page. Good job, Michael

I hope that helps. Good luck. Michael
