What is CatMoran.com?

CatMoran.com is my personal vanity site. It's a place to store the fan fiction and tutorials I've written, and to play with and show off my web coding skills.
 

Why CatMoran?

It's my 'net name. Long story short, I'm obsessed with cats; and split into two words CatMoran can be passed off as a real name.

The proper spelling is one word, with the C and M capitalized. It's pronounced kăt-môr-ăn.
 

What's with the cat logo? Where'd you get it? Can I use it?

The site logo is one of my tattoos. It was custom designed for me by Gary, of Tattoos by Gary in Terrell, TX. I'm very possessive of it, and it may not be used or displayed by anyone else.
 

What browser should I use to view this site?

This site is intended to work with all browsers. However, I only test with IE and FireFox, so if you encounter any problems please let me know.

However, I do recommend FireFox. It's more secure than IE, faster, and has better support for the W3C standards. You can get it here:
Get Firefox
 

What plugins do I need to view this site? Do I need to have JavaScript enabled?

None, and no. The only 'special' requirement for this website is that you must not have http referring disabled or spoofed, or the images won't display.
 

What is lucky.pl? Why can't I run/view it?

lucky.pl is a 'bot trap. The only thing that should be able to execute it is a poorly behaved web crawler that's ignoring the rules in robots.txt.

If I've coded the links to it correctly, you shouldn't know it exists unless you're viewing the raw html or using a browser that lists all links explicity.
 

Nuts & Bolts: How is this site is coded.

CatMoran.com is coded in PHP and uses a MySql database. PHP and MySql are both easy to learn, however your website's server must be set up to support them. For development on any Windows PC, I recommend using the EasyPHP package.

The images on this site are protected from direct linking with .htaccess. If you can't see the photos or other images, then the http referrers are turned off or spoofed on your browser.

All webpages conform to the W3C HTML 4.01 and CSS standards. They are coded to be accessible to anyone, please let me know if you encounter any problems.
