Yes, I am about 20 miles north of Philly....
I have everything that Genesis ever put out........

I assumed so, judging by what you mentioned you listened to. I am north of Baltimore in Harford County.

Enjoy the sampler.

I think we took over this forum topic (hehe)

I can see you put a lot of time and effort into your website, and yet it's optimized for 800 by 600 resolution.. that's a tad small for most people. I'd consider upping that to 1024 if you want more traffic.
Just a suggestion of course...

Usually it's just me in here by myself, hee hee....

I must be one of the last of the few that still likes her desktop at 800 x 600.

I am always tons behind what everyone else is doing in the computer world.

But I accept your suggestion, in the spirit it was given. I really need to get on with the times.

I just got a new puter though, the old one, I wasn't very brave to make a lot of changes.

Nice to keep you company!

Thanks, I didn't mean it as a criticism...
It was difficult for me to let go of good old 800 too, but 1024 is nice, you get used to it real quick.
I'm actually using 1152 now, I tried 1280 but it was too tiny for me to see well.
Nice chatting with you...

I see you're using Yahoo Messenger, does that interface with ICQ?

Well, I see you're skinning for ICQ, so obviously you must use that too...

If you can call what I do skinning! (hehe)

I made feeble attempts at both icq and yahoo!

I have been on a cantankerous computer for ages and it has stifled my creativity a great deal. Perhaps with this new one, I will get back into things, including changing my screen size, (hehe)

Why are changes like that so hard for people like me? So tentative I am!

I should look to my stats to see what is the main size that my visitors use, and make my sites compatible for the majority. It makes sense.

I think that a majority of people are using 1024 by 768, I base that on my own observations so it may not
be entirely accurate.

I haven't had time to really go through your site yet, but it looks pretty well put together and interesting.

I wish to thank you for having a peek at my site. I appreciate that.

Apparently my stats doesn't allow me the information I wanted on screen size, so I went to another section of the site with that information and apparently, believe it or not the top size was 800 x 600 making up 51% of the users...
1024x768 would make up 35%
1280x1024 totalled 6%

The rest were usiing something even larger, or...smaller, hehe

I am sure glad though you brought it up, its something I need to keep investigating on my sites.

Well, that is very interesting indeed, and contrary to what most people were telling me!

Here is my reasoning...
You belong to a community of savvy computer users, and I am willing to bet that indeed the majority use the settings you say.

I am also willing to bet that for the most part that figure I mentioned is likely close to correct, (pertating to my sites) because there is a whole group of people, who use their pc's at factory settings, they are not as knowledgable.

The mails I get, asking for help with downloading and installing skins, you would not believe. I have to teach some what is a .zip file.

I believe you, and what you say makes a lot of sense....
There is an obvious disparity between say the users of this site and the general public...

Thanks so much for your comments and input, Ms. Xerraire; I appreciate it!
