One other bit of information that would be nice is to post where the plane
is located... A quick search of the FAA database shows that Kevin is located
in Riverside, CA, but it might be nice to include that bit of information on
the page... It's also possible that a voice phone number might be useful...


Yup. The surroundings sure looked familiar, and I guessed Riverside. But I was
missing actual confirmation of the location.

I hope it ok to post this in here.


Is it your plane? Yes

If so, what's the story? I am buying a bonanza
If not, what's the story?

FIX THIS!! Everything should fit 800x600 :-)
I always liked big pictures. You can see more detail.
I will adjust them to fit.
I also put my name and phone numbers on the ad.
Thanks for the advice. Plane should be out of annual next week. I will
deliver it anywhere in the US for fuel and a ticket back.
This is a tuff group.


My input:
It is NOT ok - since relevant story is missing and that website is evil.

BTW, your saving grace:

1. The asking price was included in the link. g
2. You're a regular around here

What did you "fix" other than adding your name and phone #?

The contact info isn't set properly and starts on the right side of the
screen, then goes over to the left and is overlapping the other text. Same
for the "plane hangered its whole life". This is extremely annoying.

The pics are still sized around 1120 X 750. I would suggest that you take
Grumman-581's advice and make thumbnails that will link to a larger picture.

I am not trying to be an ass and nit pick your page, but if I were in the
market for a plane, I would be looking for a little more of a professional
looking page. It's not hard to do, especially with Front Page.

If you need help with any of this, I will be glad to help.

I always liked big pictures. You can see more detail.

Put the small picture on the page, and make it clickable (or put a text
link) to get the large picture if the user wants to.

Much better!

But don't center the text. Align it to the left. I would use bullets as
well...

You lost the "Asking Price" this time around. Doh!

"1967 Cherokee 180 C For sale Asking Price $49,000"

That said, it looks (much-much) better.

Nice plane, BTW :-)

Quite a bit better... Personally, I wouldn't put the requirement for
Javascript on the page... At least you didn't use Macromedia Flash though...
That would be a quick way to alienate quite a few potential viewers...

You really should change the name of the file though... It's rather bad
style to put spaces in the file names... Some people put underscores, but
personally, I don't even like them -- I prefer hypens instead...

The large image files are useful when someone is wanting to see the image in
full detail... I would keep them, but have them as a hyperlink under each
image... They shouldn't be the image that one gets for clicking on the
thumbnail though... They are large files, so one should have to explicitly
click on some sort of "(full resolution image)" tag for them to come up...
For the thumbnails, I would go with somewhere around 320x200 or so, but with
high compression on the JPEG so that it doesn't take too much space...
Clicking on the thumbnail would result in another window coming up with an
image that would fit on an 800x600 display... Providing a hyperlink
underneath it for a full size image would also be nice and it could also
come up in another window... Basically, you're looking at three different
image files for each photo...

What is the problem with this aircraft that causes the pilot's toe to break?

BTW, you list the KX155 twice... Do you mean to say that it has dual KX155s
or was this a mistake?

This thread is amazing, no one has really assassinated luckyguess for
his transgressions, major or minor. The comments have been constructive
and occasionally even kind.

I can't be where I think I am, this must be rec.aviation.Valium, no?
