Hi cousins, Well, the new front page has been online nearly 24 hours now and I still haven't heard from anyone regarding its look or loadtime. Do you not like it? Is it taking too long to load? What? Please talk to me. If the majority doesn't like the page, I'll redesign it but will need time to do so. If you like it but it's taking a fortnight to pull up, then that most definitely needs addressing right away. I've been playing with the graphics again all day and cut one of the larger ones in half so it will also cut load time. I hope it works out well. I realized after sending my last message that I neglected to add our URL. For those of you who are new and wondering what I've been talking about, go to: http://bowercommunity.com/homestead There, you'll see the front page. However, you need to go inside the site for the other Christmas pages which start in the parlor, then clicking on the Christmas tree once the page has fully loaded. Comments ... good or bad ... please? Since the site stands for all of us, you certainly have a voice in how it looks, too. Thanks everyone. Colleen
