proof reading
« on: January 18, 2011, 07:53:34 AM »
Hi all,

i've got a new interview to post on flyguitars - and i'm looking for a few proof readers.

What I need, is not so much proof reading (ie looking for spelling mistakes - although that is welcome too), but more looking for things not looking right, due to odd browsers/operating systems.

So, although you can still help me if you use windows/ie, I really want people with macs/linux/safari etc etc to have a look - make sure theres no odd display issues with other set ups.

anyone got 30 mins spare to help?

Thanks
Jules

I will. Windows 7, IE9, Chrome. Could set up a Linux box pretty quick.

I can check how it looks on a Mac in Safari and Firefox

I just checked on an old Mac Powerbook and checked in both Firefox and Safari. I looked at the link (page) itself and went to the Bob Daisley and Glenn Cornick interviews (both pages). They all look fine. The Cornick interview sits to the right of the page (with blank space between the windows on the left and the body of the interview) but reads easily. Each page looks the same in both browsers.

And it looks like I've got some reading to do!

I just read all the interviews on a Mac running OSX 10.5.8, looks fine in everything including Opera.

Don't torture us! Who is the new interviewee?
