Dating tips for genealogists The cemetery is not a normal rendezvous point for a first date. Resist the temptation to wear a t-shirt that says "I love dead folks" or "I feel happiest in graveyards" Making the observation that your date's soundex code is K564 is unlikely to impress them If your date likes you enough to reveal their date of birth, do no ask for an independent source of proof When driving your date home after dinner, do not take a "romantic detour" via the local history center To aid recognition on a blind date, wear a bright flower or carry a copy of a well known book. Do not carry a copy of "Olafson's Illustrated Guide to the Swedish Cemeteries of Illinois" When asked what you would like for your birthday or Christmas, do not say "Dead Relatives" When popping the question, do not start it by saying "We Could Make a Beautiful Family Tree Together"

Lumley Cemetery has a link to the Cemetery page, it gives a 404 error. Page not found. Mesquite City Cemetery checked on photo and got this error: The requested URL /~txcmesqu/images/Ebrite 1/ALLEN-lawrence.jpg was not found on this server. Same for Abbot, James Carl.

I didn't click on every link, but I clicked on a bunch of them. All seem fine.

I would suggest caution when using non-standard fonts. The font has to be on the users machine, or it has to be embedded in the page to download and install (not a good option!!). If you are going to use a non-standard font, and by non-standard I mean a font that does not come with the operating system (whether Win, Mac, & now Android!), be sure to use font-family in your css and "fall back" to where you have default fonts at the end. ie: font-family: Alexbrush, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; (which you do)... but most surfers will not have Alexbrush on their computer so they will never see it the same way you do. Or if possible you make an text image using the font and everything will be fine. Basically, I wouldn't try to use a specific font since odds are the user will never see it!!! (I never use the font-family property). Suzie told you about the CSS3 myfirstfont, so you can try that.... but I'd still be leary about it as you are downloading something behind the scenes!! As for updating your pages to be html/css compliant, there are a few errors... mostly obsolete html parameters that should be in css. And the css has a few syntax errors, but it is close!! Let me know if you need more detail or anything. jimmy On 07/17/2013 11:32 AM, John Quigley wrote: > I have added a new font to my Kinney County site as well as added birth and > baptism records from the 1880's/90's.

John, did you upload the font to the server? It has to be on the server to auto download to the client. Also the Font Rule in CSS3 only works on IE9...no earlier versions. It is supposed to be compatible with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari but it is not showing up on my admittedly OLD and OUT OF DATE Firefox. There is also information on IE only working with .eot fonts and the others supporting .ttf and .otf... so it doesn't look like anything is gonna work across the board...especially on IE. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_font-face_rule.asp You might subscribe to the CSS discuss list and see if anyone has any advice.

Have you looked into using the Google Fonts API? I use it on a few sites and it works in almost all browsers. A few lines of code in your CSS is all you would add, no uploading of fonts to the server required. Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
