If I were trying to sell an airplane, I would:

1. Read the FAQ's or even just ask first
2. Provide contact information on the webpage
3. Learn to write HMTL properly, or in this case use Front Page properly
4. Resize pictures so that they fit on the screen and load quicker
5. Use lower case letters instead of all caps

Personally, I commend the OP for *only* posting a URL.
This is an improvement over most other off-topic posters.

And as for the comment " use Front Page properly",
isn't that an oxymoron?

Is it your plane?

If so, what's the story?
If not, what's the story?

FIX THIS!! Everything should fit 800x600 :-)

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

Sounds like someone whose eyesight has gotten so bad that they are having
to use the computer equivalent of the "big print" books... grin

Since you mentioned it, I figured I would check out the site... My laptop is
running 1024x768 (physical screen resolution limit) and is acceptable to me
from a screen real estate standpoint... I don't like having to go down to
800x600 for some older laptop screens... The only thing that can be said for
800x600 is that it beats the 'ell out of 640x480... Of course, 640x480 beats
the 'ell out of the PDA screens... I've recently been working on a GPS
program for a PDA-type device and I find it difficult to display all the
information that I want to display at the same time on the real estate that
I have available on it...

Even at 1024x768, his images are too large... Perhaps he was wanting to
create a single page that could be printed and posted as flyers around the
airports... In my opinion, he should rethink this... Layouts that look good
on flyers do not necessarily look good as web pages... For a web page, I
would suggest smaller images and creating a hyperlink on the picture /
thumbnail to bring up the larger image... The smaller images should be true
thumbnails, not just using the 'width' and 'height' attributes to resize it
at the client side... If you do it that way, the full image still has to be
transferred to the client even though only a lower resolution version of it
is being displayed...

Having everything in all caps is not exactly good style either... One could
argue that what is supposed to be capitalized is not and what isn't, is...
For example, he mentions "Mp3 PLAYER"... This should have been "MP3" and the
rest either not capitalized or perhaps only the first letter of "player"
capitalized... One other question is whether the aircraft is really
currently being "ANNEALED"? If so, what happened to require this? grin

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...

Some of us just like our aircraft nice and soft. Cushions those hard
landings :-)

Well, that's fine if you're giving your entire screen over to the web
site. But if you're doing more than one thing at a time, you may not
want to do that, and the site should resize itself intellegently with
the window.

Layouts that look good
on flyers do not necessarily look good as web pages.

Yep. Web design is not about layout.

Awh, 'ell, that's why you have multiple monitors !!! grin

I recently hooked up a spare 17" LCD monitor to one of my PCs and now
have two 1280x1024 screens... Damn, I could get spoiled with this...
