Re: html changes not showing

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It's looking better, but there are still some things out of place.

You may have a far, far worse problem than that, though. When I click on view source, two frames come up One of them is About:Blank, a nasty virus that can direct people to porn sites and others. Take a look at this thread related to A:B

Could you take a look again in FF. Wondering if changing from western european to unicode will help. I've compressed and optimized pictures. I've known we have a firefox problem but all of our money currently goes to the print side of project (We're a golf newspaper) I hope in a few months we'll be able to hire a web developement company.

I don't take it personal. :-) I tried to help, but I'm not an expert at how Publisher creates web pages. But I do know - from visiting thousands of pages, what is easy to read, what makes people want to stay or leave.

My impression was that you did a page for a relatively new golf course, one that people might want to learn more about. If I was doing that, I would try to entice people by doing something other than a story about the designers. But that's just my opinion.

BTW, there is nothing wrong with looking at other sites that have the same goal (or par!) as what you are trying to accomplish, and using things you like. I think every web designer except for the early pioneers have done that.

I also probably need to add this: no matter how good or bad you are at web design, people will find things that will help improve your site. You can evaluate their thoughts and see if it makes sense or not.

IME, people who suggest changes do not do it out of animosity or to hurt feelings (though that sometimes happens). It's your site - how it will look is completely up to you.

WOW. People use Google search because they pay us to use it. I'm aware of the refresh situation. Thanks, but you provided no help at all, but don't take it personal.

First, be sure to refresh your page if you want to see changes. Most times, your browser keeps a copy of the page in its cache and will display it, even if it has changed. Use Ctr/F5 to forced it to load the newest version.

Not sure why your images are not showing. They are being referenced as being in index2_files/ and that exists. Perhaps it is a "Pub" thing."

I wouldn't take this personally, but in all honesty, your site looks like crap. Small text, needs scroll bars to view at 800x600 resolution, a search bar that is in the middle of text. (Why do people use a Google Search on their site? It searches the entire Net, not just a site. The results "always" seem to take the visitor away to a different site.) The text is butted up so tight to the left-hand side of the page that it is not inviting to read. Not to mention that you are trying to slay visitors with stuff they probably don't care about - like who designed it, why and how.

Keep your Home Page simple.
What
Where
How to contact

Of course, YMMV.
