[OT] Website formatting Q.

Just a quick question...

On my webpage, I've realized how hugely long the lists of links I maintain
have been getting - the main Links page
<http://warbard.iwarp.com/links.html> is more than a dozen screens. I
can do the following:

A - leave it, and let viewers (you lot, mostly) scroll down, and down,
and still further down... (there are internal navigation links, though)

B - put most of it into double columns - two side-by-side columns of
text & links. This tends to clutter the screen, I think...(part of the list is
like this now...)

C - split it off onto several seperate pages by subject, and make people
wait while each one loads... (one large page loads faster, usually, than
several smaller pages...)...just to find that the link they _really_
want is on another page...

So, I'm kind of stuck on what exactly to do...given that hacking the Link list
down to a shorter version isn't going to happen!!

Opinions, please - A, B, C or some D I haven't considered?

Off-list is probably best, and thanks for your time,

C, for all its disadvantages, has my vote. As regards not finding the one link
you want, there's nothing stopping you from having a link on multiple pages.

e.g. subjects Wargames, Shops, Model Supplies might have John Doe Model
Supplies listed in all 3 categories, but with different explanations for each.

You might also consider having a link to a Huge Alphabetised list as well.
Depends on how much space you have to play with, but links aren't generally
memory hungry.

Finally, have a look at the links page from my own. I deliberately put
in the full http:// etc so if someone got a hard copy, they'd be
readable.
