View Full Version : My website got a makeover

I taught my daughter it is always easier to get forgiveness than permission. So unbeknown to me she redid my website and if it is in your bookmarks you may need to re bookmark it. I'm still learning how to work it since it is a little more complicated than IWeb but it allows for a lot more "stuff". If you read my blogs you can actually comment back or ask a question and get a response. I'm not sure I'm wild about this part but I'll ride it out. At least I have full censorship power. She is trying to introduce me to all the elements of a web site and has been bringing me along slowly. Right now I'm still flummoxed and scared I'll mess it up adding and reorganizing links but I think I'll get it.

Post it and let me see it.......
Let me add that I'm trying not to create a slow loading site. Media I'm guessing consumes space but more importantly it distracts people from what is important.

Is it just me, or is the site loading really slow?
Also for your blog stuff you might want to do some paragraphs to make it easier to read.

I agree it is slow. I'll see what the deal is. Maybe competing web pages since my old one is still in there.
I don't do paragraphs but I'll consider having Audrey review my blogs since she has better english skills than I do.

It's all slow to me. I was wondering if it was my connection or something else. I WANT THAT FIXED. I abhor slow loading web sites. I am just looking at this for the first time and I've sent her a to do list with this among other things.

A web page is almost always a work in progress. It's always getting changed and updated as the owner or webmaster feel necessary.
Let her know I like it. Looks good. We meant to change the look of mine over the winter and I never got to it.

tsk tsk :nono: Not a good practice considering IE is by far the most used browser (unfortunately).

I'm sure you don't have to buy a PC to check it with IE. Who uses IE? Everyone I know uses Mozilla Firefox.

I sent you an e-mail No IE for MAC but it is the number one used browser. My GoDaddy acct tells me what browsers I'm getting hits from and Firefox and IE are neck and neck.
