Hi Jan,

**I love that new background color ... red is often a problem for eyes but this broken pale red is very eye friendly and the text size on the home page is well done. So I can second Alisa completely ... **

Thanks!  :-)  Good...I wondered about the red but I love red so much...and like you say, that's kind of a pale red.  I appreciate your critique, Jo.  Seems you were right on.  :-)

But you should have a look to the site builder if it's having something like a general default choice. Then you could set the text size a general default for new pages. For now on the links page you have the old smaller size.  In each span argument for the text parts and links the text size is defined as small ( e.g. ) and this is mostly refering to a normal text size like 6 or 8 in windows terminology. This also is condensing the link underline to the link text not looking so good.

Err...technical stuff!  :-)  There is a default size to that template and it is tiny!  I wonder if the text size is looking different on different screens.  It looks HUGE on my screen.  I even wondered if it was too big!  I'll need to compare it on different computers, I guess.  :-)

Hm, download entries ... with those sitebuilders this is often working like setting up a gallery which also allows more than one entry. May be worth a check in the help file if even such is there ...  I have tried 4 or 5 such sitebuilders (including the strange behavior of M$-Word for such stuff) and in the end I have found it is much less nerving to do it by manual html coding ...  :laugh:

Now that is giving me a few second thoughts...the organization of that template and downloads.  I may have to learn coding, as you said, unless I want someone to maintain that site for me, which I do not.  I love working on that site...it's a joy!  I get a book and prop it up beside me and wait while the builder updates and wait...but I get a lot of reading done!  :-)  No kidding, it's fun!  Right now, while there's only Lady Anne, not so much of a problem.  And next time I can put the maps in the Runtime.  But people oughta be able to read the ReadMe before they download.  Maybe I could just post the contents on a page rather than making it a download file.  I like the way the Gallery is set up though!  Pretty smooth, other than a thumbnail merging into a thumbnail.  I hope people realize they can click the second thumb and get a BIG picture.  :-0

But you will learn it by the time I'm sure ... good success for that by now ... :thumbupboth:

Thanks!  I built a free Yahoo site YEARS ago but that's the only thing I've ever done, regarding website building.  I think you can start from scratch with that builder and add modules but I'm not that confident yet.  But hopefully, I'll learn!  :-)

Thanks a LOT for the input -- I'm so glad you will tell me the truth and not sugarcoat.  :-)   That is very cool!

*A wee bit Ot but I'm reading a book now called The Boleyn Inheritance.  It's got a lot about Anne of Cleves in it.  She was your countrywoman, was she not?  She's presented as a very nice lady, very down to earth, very good-hearted.  Thank goodness, she survived Henry's temper.  :-)

Anyhow, thanks again and I'm really glad we reconnected!  :-)))

The dog is being bad...do you think I should resort to the pistol-training again?  Joke!!!  :-)  I stopped that.  It was fairly ridiculous, wasn't it?

Jan

 

 

I love me some Modo!  :-)
