Hi walanghiya.

I really like most of what your doing there. The one BIG exception is the centered text. It's fine for links lists but it's very very difficult to read a paragraph that way.

I'll take a closer look later cause it's a site that interests me.

Went to site & I am finding the text hard to read. Not sure if it is font size or color that is issue.

Since I am to young for bifocals - I would probably not go back unless something changed.

richard and erin, thanx for the initial comments.

richard, i'll try left and right alignments for the text and see how it looks. unless you have other suggestions?

erin, it's not the first time i received comments on the text used in the site. i've already tried other fonts, sizes and the comments were to bring it back to what it is now. maybe it's the black background, maybe i should put more space between the text portions of the pages; not sure what's generally acceptable.

please advise. and thanx again.

It's the fact that it's white on black that makes it difficult. Change the white to cream and see if it helps - that's actually the higest contrast combination.

Thats a hard call. Since there is so much text on the 1st page if you made text larger you would have to scroll more. (not good)

What if you made the boxes on the left smaller so you had more room and could go up a size in font?

The black could be part of the problem. I am not sure if another color would be better on it. However a size 8 font is small. I might try a 10 for us "seniors"

yea, i'll replace the text color to cream. should be good. thanx darlingbri.

erin, you're right about the sizes of the boxes on the left. on my next update, i will make those smaller and use a bigger font size for the text in the middle.

thanx a mil guys.
