Hey guys and gals,

I just wanted to pop in and say hello and share my website with you.
It's at http://www.thegriddle.net and I serve up new free puzzles
every once in a while. Feel free to take a look and don't be afraid to
send me an email if you have any suggestions or want to request a
specific kind of new puzzle.

Cheers,
Dave M.

I use Firefox and your puzzle list appears in a little box, which is about
15% of my browser viewing area (10% of total screen).

I've uploaded a screen shot of thegriddle here:

I've scaled down from 1280x1024 for upload, but I assure you it can't even
be seen, yet alone solved, with the size I can see.

Nice bit of testing!

Also, why PDF and not HTML?

Hey Kev,

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences with my site. My choice for
PDF files was because the puzzles were made specifically to be printed
for use offline. I know it's probably not the wisest choice in the
world - sorry. I also keep forgetting how huge screen resolutions are
and how small my layout must seem, especially when you have puzzles
opening there. I'll see if I can get them to open in new windows or
tabs and possibly expand the box with CSS. I keep tweaking the layout
and this is one I finally like, so I hope I don't have to mess with it
too much :)

Please feel free to let me know of any other problems you encounter or
if you have any puzzle requests. I love to hear from other puzzle
enthusiasts.

Dave
