Re: html changes not showing

I ran the compression, thanks. On the font size..I looked at several
websites and copied their text, took them ms word to disect. Lots came back
at around 8.3 verdana, 8.5, 8.7 These are other similar golf sites. So I
went with the same sizing. On the firefox issues, I've known about this for
about a week (we've only been up for about 2 weeks) If I unclick the vml?
Will this fix some of this? Still having the initial problem.

The problem is the size of your images...they are waaaay too big.

Ideally you will size and optimize your images in a third party program
before inserting them into your Publisher publication. In lieu of that you
at least need to compress them. Reference: Compress graphics file sizes to
create smaller Publisher Web pages:

As per Mike's comments, he viewed your site in FireFox and I viewed your
site in IE6, and FF. It does not work well at all in FF. It seems that you
have taken basically a print document and converted it to a web page. As
Mike said it is too wide. You should be using the default 760 pixel
width....or at least less than 800. Also, you do have a bit much on the home
page. Your goal should be to get the page lean and quick loading, and
leading into the content of your site. Think about using 12 point fonts in
the text boxes and perhaps introductory comments rather than the whole
story, and then link to the whole story. Also, the more images that you use,
the slower the page will be to download, and the more people that will just
move on out of impatience. And don't forget that a little white space is a
good thing. Think of the Google home page...and how fast it loads. Here is a
link to a tool to test the load time:

I also think that part of the reason the page didn't load well in FF is that
you have layered so many things with your images and your navbar, that FF is
left confused. You will probably need to simplify your design to get it to
work in FF. Also don't forget to run the design checker tool. It will help
you identify other potential problems. And finally, before you produce new
html output, go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML.." and
"Allow PNG...". This will also reduce the size of your final html output.

I am also curious why you chose index2.htm instead of the default
index.htm???

Don't feel too bad, and don't take Mike's comments or mine out of context.
They are meant to help you. What is hard for a beginner to web design is to
let go of print document design principles. You don't design a web site in
the same way. The good news is that you have made lots of progress and have
your content developed, and when you get things organized differently, you
site should be just fine. Please don't hesitate to post back and we will try
to help you with specifics. We promise to be nice ;-)

Although he isn't talking about Publisher, I think he does a pretty good job
in discussing some of the basic principles and I felt it well worth my time
to read. Opinions may vary...
