L.S.
It may interest some to know that I have given Squeak its own directory on my site and have extended the html- versions of my user manual (in progress).
The relevant direct link is:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~maartens/squeak/squeak_index.htm
It contains almost 700 Kb of Squeak-related files on the moment, nearly all of which is in a transitional stage (and so is expected to be extended or rewritten in the none too far future, to end up in a Squeak Project).
Having seen my own site recently on a local internet-cafe, that did not display part of my site as it should (probably due to a combination of factors including MS buggery):
- my site should display in Arial 12 point bold - and is best read in 1024*768 resolution
The letter I prefer is fairly large because of my none too good eyes and health (and the 1500 files I maintain on my site), and you can easily get rid of it by means of your browser if it displeases you. (Also, for some learned academics of acute logical awareness: If I talk about Squeak on my website the text really IS in html and - alas! - not in Squeak. It is true this is a logically subtle point, for some.)
Finally, I am on the digest-form of the developers-list only, since I have no really useful code to contribute, and since I find it none too constructive to discuss philosophy etc. (including my own) on this developers list.
I wish everyone on the list a happy, healthy and peaceful 2002!
Regards,
Maarten.

Thanks for the link; your diary about discovering Squeak is interesting.
A minor problem: The "Map", "Tour", etc., links from your Squeak page seem to be pointing to invalid (local) addresses such as file:///C:/webmm/map.htm. You may want to fix these.

Looks fine to me on IE and Netscape.
Also, I don't mind your frequent use of coloring text (usually red) for emphasis, but I might suggest that you use a different color such as blue (ideally the default html-link blue color) rather than red for links, so that the links are easier to distinguish from the regular emphasized text.
This confusion is a bigger problem if you're using Scamper in Squeak... the links there are not underlined but are represented with colored text.
This makes me think that it might be a good idea to change Scamper so that hyperlinks are underlined. Ignoring the fact that all other web browsers do this, using underlines just seems like a better idea for hyperlinks... using colored text basically prevents you from ever using colored text for anything else. The underline seems to be a more significant change in emphasis than a different color, which, for a hyperlink, is good, IMHO. (Underline also seems more appropriate than bold, italic, strikethru, etc.)
Maybe I'll submit a changeset sometime if noone else does. :)
