Hey guys.
The site has been delayed because for some reason I can't FTP into my hosting. I have contacted support to see if they have been mucking about. I should get an answer tomorrow.
Since there is a delay I have been wondering about a possible change to the guide's layout. At the moment it is split into about 4 pages. At least 2 pages are pretty big and are likely to get bigger as things get added. I was curious as to whether anyone would prefer it if I split up some of the pages a little more.
Two possible reasons I have found are
1: Less scrolling to find the bit you want on a page
2: Finer granularity. Links go to more specific topics rather than being presented with a huge page and saying "scroll down to xx". [See 1]. It is also more obvious what is on a page. The Ubuntu Installation page for example has stuff about graphics, resolution and sorting out repositories etc. You don't know that is there looking at the top of the page.
Thoughts?
