Although you might want to down size things a little - don't know what you are using for a web editor though so I can't offer advice. Thanks for the feedback. I had the pages set to 1400 wide that may be too wide for some monitors. I have reset them to 1200. It just seemed a little wide. Then again, I set mine for my monitor here in the office and when I looked at it on another machine the other day - eeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!! I need to work on that this winter. The software is "PageBuilder" on Yahoo GeoCities. It's a java based program that is really simple to use and does not reside in your computer ... you use it on line. It has to be simple given the fact that even I figured it out in a half hour or so. I've tried that - works fairly good. I've been using Namo Web Editor 6 which seems to be a fairly decent editor - has WYSIWYG editor, html editor, combo editor and a fairly decent web graphics program. I also removed the sound files from two of the pages as they were causing an "Active X" prompt on some computers. It didn't on mine, but did on Mrs. E's. Both laptops are the same, except she has the media enhanced version and I have the basic HP Pavilion zd8000. I've found the problem with sound is, if you are like me that is, you have music playing on the computer, or in my case WEEI in Boston playing in the background and when you click on a page, up pops the "other" music and you spend time searching around for the off - can't find it, yada, yada, yada... And, as you discovered, there is the activex problem. However, I like the page - especially Sam's page. Gotta love dogs. I haven't played with website building since back in the days of the original "Boats of rec.boats". I remember doing that one using a word processing program and everything was in HTML code. It got to be a real pain and confusing as the site grew. I was amazed at the ease of doing it now, years later, using a program like PageBuilder. No html codes to deal with ... it does everything for you. GeoCities even registers the domain name for you. The "free" website hosting that they offer is very limited in terms of bandwidth usage, plus they put their advertisements on it. I elected to go for the "Pro" option that offers more space and bandwidth usage than I'll ever use and it's only $8.95 a month. RCE www.eisboch.com |
