Who is the audience for your tutorial? Do they already know Ruby, or are they complete non-programmers? When I click a link on the index page, the material appears in a new browser tab (or window). Have you considered a navigation system like the one in Daniel Carrera's Ruby tutorial? (http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/) That lets readers page through the tutorial without constantly flipping back and forth to the index. At the moment, your tutorial reads as if it is a series of independent "episodes" rather than a connected narrative, so this may not be a big problem. If I were a total beginner, I'd be very confused by seeing something like this at page 00402_No.1_para.html banner : Character size 48 pixels title : 34 pixels subtitle : 26 pixels tagline : 18 pixels caption : 14 pixels para (paragraph) : 12 pixels inscription : 10 pixels Is it necessary, or just something that was left over? -- J.
