for radical look-up put the following where I can quickly see them:

your method of scanning a grid for a matching radical is not good.

people who use nelson quickly memorize these kanxi # because they are used so much:

9

64

162

75

85

120

30

61

i had to scan your grid FOUR times just to find kanxi #85. i was outraged. 

so, in big fonts, make a list (not a grid) of those 8 most frequently used radicals i recommend.

then, beneath that, have your comprehensive grid. 

btw:

kanxi (163 <--> 170) and (30 <--> 31) look exactly the same, but are completely different.

it you want beginners to use this site, you need to figure-out how to communicate the differences (or they will get really frustrated).

Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write to me. I
really appreciate hearing from you. However I'm confused a little.

There are currently three grids,

kanji.sljfaq.org/mr.html
kanji.sljfaq.org/mr-old.html
kanji.sljfaq.org/radicals.html

Which one are you referring to?

People who use Nelson have to scan a grid on the front cover or back
cover of the book which is arranged more or less the same as mine.
Similar to any paper kanji dictionary.

I'm sorry to hear you were outraged but if I changed it for you, then
other users might be outraged as well.

On the multiradical page I've tried to indicate that difference using
the grey and black figure so the user can see that one is for the left
and one for the right side. The multiradical page is hugely more
popular than the Nelson-style radical page. "One of these days" I'm
planning to add figures to the radicals.html page as well. Note I have
about 1,000 bugs currently recorded in my Bugzilla system.

I've tried but it's pretty difficult.

Thanks for your message anyway, please let me know if you have any
more feedback.
