h2g2 Web Site Testing Group
Created | Updated Mar 25, 2004
Do you have an external site? Would you like to have it tested by
other h2g2 researchers to see if it looks good, if all the links
and pop-out menues and other gadgets work in all browsers and all
resolutions?
Then you've come to the right place! Start a conversation below
titled something like: 'Testing: Titania's photo site' (and that's just an example - don't post Titania's photo
site unless your h2g2 researcher name is Titania, and unless
you have a photo site!).
Please note that this entry is intended to be a forum only for
web site testing and only web site testing!.
For other queries, please check the 'Links' sections.
This is early days yet, so I haven't finished thinking yet - I was
thinking that maybe we could offer to check h2g2 entries as well?
I have noticed that some user pages don't look good in all skins -
and some researchers can't check their user page in various skins
(Digibox users among others, I think).
Anyway, to get this thing started...
