Your web is pretty cool but it has problems. See attached. You must test your site with different sized fonts.
That is the screenshot of a HTML page, beyond the SVG the original poster asked about.
The problem I have is that my ISP does not support SVG. When you try to download a SVG file, it says its MIME type is text/plain, not text/svg. Check out http://www.magma.ca/~shawnhcorey/200710/circulatory.svg To view it, you have to save it on your machine and open the file.
Your hosting provider has a badly configured web server (wrong MIME type), this in entirely his fault and you should complain to them or switch to a decent hoster.
Sigh.
I recommend that you convert your images to PNG or JPEG. It will be a long time before everyone supports the established standards.
This is a self-defeating attitude, we should do something (the easiest is to make some cool websites and a lot of noise about them) in order to get the various parties to support SVG. And don't wait for "everyone". If Google would index SVG I would publish *right now* some pages as SVG.
Ok, how about helping some noobs out (me) then. What is the best way to get started with SVG web graphics (svg and html). I think that I would like to make a mockup for myself to better understand things. I already know how to make a layout and add links. Do we simple just call in the svg file as an object (for the quick-n-dirty)?
