dialyn, The poem is, indeed, set into the page as a graphic. Unfortunately, in order to use an unusual font, you must set it in as a gif to assure that all who view it will see what you wanted them to see. Explorer and Netscape only support a very few standard fonts, and if the viewer does not have the particular font you have chosen in their files, they will see something far different than you intended. I was not aware that the readers would not read the gifs, thanks for that information. As to the music...I don't write the poetry to be read to a particular piece of music, but i spend hours listening to pieces to go with each poem. Occasionally, I have to use a piece that is not quite what I want, but for the most part, I am very picky about it. I have been limited in my musical choices because I have had to use only midi files, but that has recently changed and I will probably change some of my pieces to reflect that. Obviously I would never choose a piece of music with words in it, lol. Thank you very much for you thoughtful critique, I have much to think about. Knot4U, This setting, like most of the others I use, is quite generic, and usually just sets a mood. I don't use portraits for the most part, very few of the backgrounds have people in them...they are mostly landscapes or textures. Thank you also for giving me much to consider.

Fractals will always amaze me!
