Hmm... this almost looks like it was done on purpose, given the font size and color. Perhaps done to help bots easily find relevant content to raise page rankings? If so, it's a very clever idea, something I might investgate myself. Right on Avalon, that is exactly why I did it. Take note Albus. Hey, I came up with an idea before you did, Avalon. Seems I am some years older than you There are a few of us on the internet that are over 20 you know. I use Cute HTML, CSE Html Validator and to do quick edits I use notepad.

Very nice for a young person from my home town of Sacramento, CA. It is a site that the teenager will really enjoy. The subject matter is way to young for me , but the construction is very nicely done. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.

Yes, it is configured by percentage, so it will resize down to 640 with if necessary. I assume you mean in the index at the bottom. I have played with it for a while and decided this fits the best. If you are having trouble reading it you can go to the top of IE where it says View, scroll down to Text Size, and pick a larger size. You will see what I mean about the fit. Putting a new index on every page will take some time and I am busy right now trying to get the site completely up. Will deal with some of the suggestions people have made when I get that done. Thanks for the rating. Others have been harsher.

If you could tell me which ones it would help a lot since I could spend hours looking for them. Thanks. There is a place to turn it off beyond the center, but it only plays on the first table of contents anyway. Just put the music up, since most people seem not to like it, I will remove it. feel to it, but i would associate that home with a grandparents house.The graphic textures are also not my type of thing, as are the borders. The graphics are at a good resolution and the signature is a nice image. Tiled backgrounds of the style on your page also make it look old-fashioned, as do the frame graphics. Maybe that is because I am a grandmotherly person &8^) Point well taken. Thanks for the encouragement. I will try to modernize, but it will be hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

I am just wondering. I have seen this insert as it appears on Post #4 http://forums.xisto.com/topic/33552-full-tutorials-for-creating-website-wanna-the-tutorials/ What does it mean, please?

Hey, I really like the font you used. What is it? That is cool. I am not familiar with imageshack. Will take a visit over there and look around. Meanwhile, Thanks for the sample. Will probably use it, if you don't mind, to start with. Just what makes a good background and layout? Please go into more detail about what you mean. I guess I am a little dense.

I think you will have to offer the mods a little more information about what exactly you have done before they will be able to answer this. I am wondering what you mean myself. Did you remove folders and files that were there when you opened your file manager initially? LIke the following should be left alone.

I am back from my vacation and need to design a banner that meets your specifications. I have already put a banner/link on my banner exchange page to your site. Any suggestions for a nice banner for mine? My sig is the only one I have at the moment. Will you be hotlinking to the banner or downloading it to your site for use? Oh and, can I change banners at a later date?

I have run up a new desktop as of today 2/11/2006. It is a Native American theme.

Yes, this global warming is for real and we had better start listening. I have been following reports on this problem for some time now and the effect on the glaciers up at the pole is really alarming. They are disappearing. This is having a tremendous effect on the balance of nature. We are having all these world wide natural disasters as a result, in my oppinion. Consider the number of hurricanes we have had this year, just in the USA. Katrina was a warning of things to come.

Me too and dido. Who wants ads on our sites. It would really mess up my graphic design web sets and I have sooo many pages. The only ads that bother me are the animated ones that take a long time to load. I am on an ancient telephone line system and things can get realllly slooooow sometimes.

Thank you for the generous compliments. I have checked out your favorite and indeed like it as well. Have e-mailed asking for a link exchange. Hope it works out. One can also use the links page at that site to cruise the web for more wonderful graphic designs for homepages. Thanks again.PS We have exchanged links

I use Paint Shop Pro and am always learning/finding something new in it that I hadn't stumbled on before. When I have mastered it, I will probably try Photoshop from all the recommendations I have seen about it.

Well we had them at our K-mart for a while, but they took them out. Were more trouble than they were worth. I guess the customers were not handy enough to use them correctly.

I have similar problems under the same circumstances. We don't have fiberoptics yet and that creates phone line problems. The older lines are what you call "dirty" with static etc.To keep from having to type everything over again, I usually highlight and copy what I have written so if the post disappears I can paste it in when I start over.

My book says 1006 by 732 is the average screen content size to keep from having scroll bars. Anybody else know better?

Hi, dementeddemon. Tell us a little about yourself and what your plans are here at this site. People here are very helpful and friendly. I have only been on board a little while and have learned something new every day.

WELCOME Mario. Tell us about Macedonia and a little about yourself. Will u be creating a site here soon? If so, what will be the theme of your site? Mine is web set design.

No offense taken. I found it rather intimidating at first, but my daughter got me interested and I ran with it. Found it so much fun, I embraced it as a hobby. Keeps me from living at the refrigerator door. Or simply sitting and watching the boob tube. Well bless their hearts. So many older citizens are unwilling to give it a try. This includes my husband. And bless you for helping your grandparents to keep up their mental agility. I could never get my mother to understand that she didn't have to type as fast as the computor operated. She was very intimidated by the whole technology of it all. Thank you for the compliments. It was my intent to make people feel welcome at my sites. I guess that is why the quiantness is evident. I have visited a lot of sites that are more modern in their construction, but I do favor the simple html and use of tables. I am still embarking on the adventure of learning more advanced methods of coding. However, I think that most people want their homepages to be "homier" and will find it difficult to construct such things as flash pages for their own use. Don't misunderstand me, flash is super cool, but I feel just a little complicated for the average user.

Hi. You will find this forum very educational and helpful; I certainly have. Welcome aboard.

A beautiful Gardenia in full bloom, of course. It is of my own rendering done in Paint Shop Pro. Gardenia is my favorite flower and the theme of my web site.My Desktop

Do you have some kind of protection set up in your cPanel to keep people from hotlinking or viewing your file contents? I get "Forbidden You do not have permission to access this document. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Server at stopdesign.com" when I click on your gif link. Yes Zen Garden is a lovely site and has lots of sources for people. Went there yesterday myself and was really impressed.

Are you working with one of my sets or making one of your own? Or are you trying go make a seamless background tile? Maybe I can help if you give me a little more information as to what you are trying to do.

I don't use the webprotection option. I find it tiring enough to enter passwords for everything else. So, I certainly wouldn't want to have to enter it twice using this option. I just wonder why you haven't gotten an answer from at least one of the mods.

I don't think that time span is possible either. But, I would be interested in knowing the results of this testing. Like, if they didn't like the colors, your site flunked thier test. It would be nice to know which aspects made the like list and which didn't. Might help us web designers to know which designs we have wasted our time on.
