if this is seen as a shameless plug i'll edit the entry and make a click link.

thanks in advance

Hi,
Small gray text on white bacground should be changed. Maybe it's 'artsy', but black is a whole lot easier to read quickly! :D

Just my opinion, anyway....

I agree too hard to read.

Well they are right about the not being easy on the eyes, but worse yet you have a horizontal scrollbar. I have resolution at 1024*768 on a 15" monitor, and I get it. I image people using 800*600 get it as well, and it's quite annoying.

ill update it tonight after work.. anyone know how i can archive the pages in a convenient way, and work in 1024*768 without having to keep changing the res in the properties?

Hi,

Are you using some sort of news posting script to add your daily entries ? If not, what does your host allow as far as Perl, PHP, MySQL etc. ? For example do you have a cgi-bin ? Full FTP access ?

Considering the nature of your site having a news posting system (which incidentally would archive your posts) would make your life considerably easier for you :)


and work in 1024*768 without having to keep changing the res in the properties?

The horiz scroll bar wasn't there yesterday (1024*768) when I last checked your post. The scroll bar is there because of the dimensions of that big photo you have on there. If that were gone everything should be fine.

www.150m.com if you wish to have a look for the scripting allowances

and the site is purely using tables in dreamweaver mx.
