    3. I can change the colors on all of them very easily, it is the change of one line in a css file. Do you have any suggestions fro colors that do work well? Or anyone else have suggestions for the colors? I'm not very good with decorating-- interior design or web design-- I never know which colors work best. Let me know opinions.

    3. Alice, I think if you stick to black and white where names are concerned it will be easier to read. I also had a problem reading some of the cemetery lists. Thanks for all you do.
