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. << Gina, I have two different thoughts on page length. 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
