IK!

I think the whole of my ascii site is now stylesheeted and sorta compliant with
HTML 4.0 Transitional thanks to Ilmari for introducing me to Stylesheets, of
which I had never looked at b4. I`m now looking into XML which seems cool <G>

* http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/ascii.htm
My gallery of my art which is hopefully totally Stylesheet enabled and I didn`t
let my crappy web page editor (of which I have now uninstalled) anywhere near
it!

* http://vibes.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/asciiart.htm
This one is my gallery of art by other artists:
	* Joan Stark
	* Jonathon Oglesbee (nu)
	* Morfina (nu)
	* Hayley Jane Wakenshaw
	* The Dutch Dude (nu)
	* Other Artists (nu)

(ones marked 'nu' arn`t uploaded yet as they are undergoing major surgery to
remove the evils of MV WebExpress 2.)

and if course the second one is the home of the FAQ on my sites, which badly
needs updating (are you making an HTML version Matthew, or shall I make one
myself?)

The other artists site isn`t intended to be useful to find pictures from... it`s
just a tribute to the artists that made me say 'WOW'! :o)

Anyway, if ure bored, stop by and have a look (and let me know if they are Lynx
friendly now I got rid of all the extra tags)

Thanks,
Martin
