Yes! Yes! Yes! That's a real effort! I was pretty excited to hit 60,000 last week but 92.000 is a real achievement! Congrats!

Jean, I have a rather long list of websites that offer free javascript coding to do specific things.  I always check one of them before I try to add any to my page.  I can almost always find the code already written in one of these websites.

Hi Jean, I don't think that you'll find a WYISIWYG program to write JavaScript. The page is probably written in HTML with JavaScripts to run specific things on them. Can you send me a URL?

Carol Sue: This is a 1908 model T. The front seat is high like the one in the photo. The rear appears to be a "bed" for hauling cargo - similar to the one in your photo.

Hi Carol, my friend who's into cars says: "I can't nail it down exactly, it doesn't appear to be a Model T there are a few nuances. But it looks very much like a vehicle from around 1908-1912. Several of them had the flat rear fenders like that, where by 1915 most of them all followed the contour of the wheel itself."

Yes, it should be. It is in Safari. I'll have to check more browsers. Gale On Jul 13, 2014, at 1:19 PM, [email protected] wrote: Gale, I noticed that your page is not centered, is it supposed to be?

Gale, Creating a website that researchers will find useful takes a lot of decision making and sometimes trial and error. Eye-appeal and frills are two different issues. A pleasing use of color and an easy to navigate page are essential. And font size is an important decision because of sight impaired researchers. Backgrounds that are busy also make it difficult for those researchers to discern what is text. Large cemeteries make load time a real concern and researchers lose patience if they have to wait too long for a page to become visible. In the end, the CC's have to decide what is right for their individual sites. No right or wrong, just what they feel right for the site they maintain.

I understand wanting to see it all with minimal effort but the tradeoff is a LOT of page turning. For example, I look at cemetery pages that have the alphabet for me to choose which page to "turn" to, and then there are sites with the entire cemetery listed alphabetically on one page. My preference is the latter but there is not much difference in the time or effort to locate the record you want. On font size I agree bigger is better IF you are trying to sell something. In our case we only have free information. My goal is to make this information clear and accurate with no added frills to make it more "attractive." To me this becomes a distraction to serious research. Gale Gorman, Robertson County

With the changes at MicroSoft and the advances in hardware technology, I recently had to shelve my old PC. I have a newer home-built now with a high-def video card and HD monitor and am using Win7. Imagine my shock when I first visited my Rusk County site and couldn't read the text because I'm staring 60 in the face and didn't own a pair of reading glasses. I spent three days redecorating because I didn't know what I was doing when I started using CSS so I'll probably spend a couple of weeks rebuilding the site this summer. I think I managed to change the text size on all the pages and to use text colors with more contrast. I also used W3C to check the whole site and found a LOT of bad links. Today I would like to challenge everyone to really LOOK at their counties and make sure that visitors can SEE them and find what they are seeking. I have to say that the last few USGenWeb counties I visited, I was sorely disappointed that I had to 1. use Google to find anything because the site had broken links (from a move over a year ago) 2. use the enlarger to read the information (Ctrl+) 3. give up and go look elsewhere because I clicked on four links and still hadn't found the cemetery list that was promised on the front page There are a lot of interesting articles on designing web sites scattered across the Internet. I read about font size, page length, and "excerpts" (using a short excerpt from an article instead of a link). I didn't bother with excerpts, I think our society has become too blog-oriented but I learned a few tricks to use with font size and page length. If you're using CSS, set your main font to 1em or 100%, then use percentages in other areas to make the font bigger or smaller. Either one of those settings will set the font size to whatever your visitor has set in his browser. Using 12px or 14pt may look good on your monitor but hard-coding 10px on your page means that I can't read it. 16pt is the default in most browsers. Page length is very important. I think newspapers use the term "below the fold" to refer to items on the bottom half. People don't like to scroll and pay less attention to items they have to scroll to see. That means most of my site is not getting the attention it deserves. I would really appreciate comments from the surfers for Armstrong and Rusk. Tell me when my site has issues. I promise to accept criticisms gracefully, I'm not a diva who will get hysterical if you tell me my site is ugly or hard to navigate. Is anyone else having issues with the new Yahoo changing font sizes every time you hit the Enter key? Gina Heffernan Rusk Co, Texas http://www.cnocandoire.com/
