Re: html changes not showing

Test it yourself. You can't rely on others. Go to
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and download and save the FF program
to your computer. Then install it, but during the installation you will be
given the option of making FF your default browser. Choose no for now.

Publish to the Web to a folder on your computer where you can find the
HTML output. Open FF, go to File > Open File and browse to that folder, and
double click the index.htm file.

As per the font size, do what you want, but think about your target market.
Do they have young enough eyes to read the font size you are using? Just
because another golf site uses small fonts and didn't consider the target
market doesn't mean you should. In my experience that is one of the problems
young web developers have...they don't know what its like to look at the
world through bi-focal eyes, and to strain to read tiny font size text.

Unbelievable...I took the vml off and it les me add html now. Please
remember this for future questions. Right now I'm at "wesern european"
Should I go to unicode to help with firefox?

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.

After
waiting more than 10 minutes for the page to load I walked away from my
computer. When I came back most of the images had loaded but not all. I
refreshed the page and after another 5 minutes or so, I got all your
images.
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:
http://www.echoecho.com/toolhtmlinspector.htm

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 ;-)

Here is reference that might help.:Your complete guide to web design:

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...
