Fraser: Just a few comments. First, I suppose I'm flattered that you have "borrowed" my background from Baltimore City 19th-Century Photos <http://freepages.hobbies.rootsweb.com/~ruppert/>. It was one I created myself, and although I certainly wouldn't have objected if you had asked to use it, I was surprised to find it in use on your new site. Secondly, if you're going to use this background, I have found that it is preferable to employ a heavier style font, as it is difficult to otherwise read the text. I have always used Bangle in bolded format on the Baltimore City 19th-Century Photos site. You have a lot of useful info included, however the opening page is a little "dense" ... just a bit too many words. I'd condense it or reformat it to break it up a bit. Thanks for the reference to my site. Gary B.
