: : Do you think you could remind us how the site is set up regarding font, size etc.?  Since getting this new computer, I haven't been able to set it right to be able to see the site as you do it.  

: : Thanks guys.
: : K.

: Sure enough ...

: We view our site, when creating it, at a resolution of 800x600, 24bit color. That's fairly universal, though there are people who use different monitor settings.

: We check the site in both Internet Explorer (5.5) and Netscape (4.7), using font sizes of "medium - largest". In IE I prefer the look at a slightly smaller scale. In Netscape I think it looks best with a larger font size. Using those settings & monitor resolution keeps the photos from overlapping. If you find overlap, use a larger font in your browser.

: Then there's the font style. Throughout, we use Prose Antique, though Book Antiqua is a pretty good substitute. Then, we also throw in, here & there, Calligraphic & Park, both of which were used in the guide booklet, so using them here creates a sort of continuity. Of course, you need these fonts installed on your computer to see them, otherwise, your system selects something else. In a few instances, we've used other fonts, but off-hand, I don't recall what they are!

: It is next to impossible to ensure that all people see the same thing ... too many variables. Creating gifs or jpgs with text solves the problem, but takes up more space & makes it more difficult to edit later on ... we've used those very selectively.

: To FULLY enjoy the site, you also need Real Player, version 7 or higher, and Adobe Acrobat ... both free downloads. See our Home Page.

: OK?

: So, what's the new computer?

: Oh, and our tech guy says today's the day for site transfer ... so, if the Board disappears, that's why. We shall return!
