Ready to Run the Gauntlet! - 3/26/2002 18:08:59
Hi Veterans -
My site has been up a few weeks now & I have been tinkering with it here & there. I don't know what else to tinker with, so figured it's time to post here. Please check my index keyword & description meta stuff, too; I haven't submitted yet. And ... don't be put off by the "non right-click"  . That was recently addressed on the "Beginners" board - see ["Name" a graphic?]- & I am considering alternatives. Thanks-a-million!

Looked at your site with XP, IE 6.0, 28.8 on 56K modem and 800 X 600 resolution.
Your home page loaded fast.
When I clicked your Services page it took over five minutes to load. Cleared my temporary files and history pages and loaded again. It still took over five minutes. Remember my connection speed, but it seemed I was loading images much larger than those I eventually saw. Did you resize your images? I looked at the Internet connection during the load and I was waiting at times. Unsure if it was bandwidth at your end or the Internet backbone I was running. Perhaps other members with faster connection speed can help.
The blue links on the light background were hard to read. Aging eyes looking at the page, but the text in general would be easier to read if darker.

Age is a high price to pay for maturity.

Thanks, John.
Of the three graphics on the Services page, one (props) is resized. It is a .bmp & much larger in file size than it should be I see. The other two should be okay (not causing the problem). They are not resized. A web designer friend of mine did those for me & I assume she knows what she's doing since she creates sites completely in html (no FP or other type program). Must be that one huge bitmap. I will have my friend help me with that one & see what happens. Thanks again.

Thanks EWD.
I see what you mean about the fragment sentences.
I had kinda been thinking the same thing regarding the font colors.
All of those colors belong to the theme, except for the stylist def stuff.
but I know the theme colors can be customized.
I'd like to see some more themes.
What's APlus?
Thanks.

Bringing a keen fashion sense and distinctive flair to every project.
Why not show a little of that distinctive flair on the website. I would like to see it with a some more pizzazz, instead of a stock microsoft theme that is on 487,000 other sites.
