Facelift and other such things

Alright, I messed around with the color scheme of the page (at least the main page for now). I also worked on a new style sheet so hopefully the text doesn’t go wacky on pages. If you hate the new look, let me know. If you hate the logo, let me know. If you hate that I haven’t got all the pages up and/or converted; well, I already know that so you don’t have to let me know. Also, went back to a DHTML type menu. The other one was causing all kinds of oddball errors depending on your browser and version.

A couple of treats for you.

This is a test called What Country of the World are You? Take it if you are really bored.

And THIS particular nugget is a highly irritating and addictive game that was linked to me a few days ago. I loathe ever seeing the page and figured I’d share it with all of you. Enjoy it and don’t blame me if it drives you crazy too.

New News

The Headliner.net news feed apparently died while we were gone over Christmas. Currently I am trying out the Moreover.com feed. If you have any input on this, let me know. And since they have an ungodly number of feeds, I will be putting those on other pages, including the computer support type pages. Basically, there is a wealth of information out there and I’m willing to set up as many of these as you’d like (on various other pages of course).

New site layout

And now we try again. New layout, less dependance on fonts you may or may not have, and hopefully some neat features.

A couple things I have noticed right off the bat:

1. The headline gathering script is sloooow. If I can find a new one I will load it in quickly.
2. Netscape really hates the table I have the text in. I’ve tried forever to keep a format that works across all browsers so I’ll either try to fix it or just learn to live with it.
3. Netscape also hates the menu system. Do NOT resize the page until the menu loads or it will crash your browser window.
4. Half of the links go to really, really dead or non-existent pages. I actually have content for most of them. I just have to convert it over. In the meantime most of our “friends” pages are working.

Updates

New message board. Try it out. Barring a major server crash from the provider, I am not going to move to a new one. And that is a promise. Also working on an archived page, setting up more picture pages, and maybe a new site design if I’m really bored.
