Mark,

The site (http://www.charissewilliams.com) looks OK on my FireFox, IE7 Beta 2, and on Opera.

Howard, it is funny how one persons view can be so different from anothers.

There are also some alternative explanations:

1) We are all conspiring together to convince Mark Searson that he is slowly going insane.

2) You are right and we are the ones that are wrong... alternatively, our perception is warped and you are the only one that can see correctly through the Charisse's spell that enchants the rest of us.

Mark, are you using a custom DPI setting on your computer, or maybe a wide screen?

I have tried to change the "text size" on the page but it is static and makes no difference. Anyone else have a look at the site to see if they can duplicate Mark's picture?

(funny what a good photo editing tool can do these days ;)

www.mainsites.ca is my website, and yes, some of it is crappy.

Cliff, no, I am using 96 DPI normal settings. Am using a normal type 17 inch screen. This is a mystery to me.

Hi, Mark,
this is what I think might get rid of the problem you can see......
Was it Anna made the original post? I think so.......anyway
I don't think there would be any harm in removing that table height she has in there...........the height="900" just after the <body> tag
Might make a difference.

hey all
its very late here and i was just checking my mail before turning in and saw the post so came and checked it out
first of all THANKS for the compliments concerning flash photogallery etc-- do appreciate it--

go to unconscious impulse link at bottom of post and u will see the flash and photogalleries there-
-
if u are looking for free LOOPS go to FLASHKIT-- they have thousands and no fee involved-- i have literally spent hours there--

i have some really cool flash on site i am redisigning for friend but it probably wont be ready to show off until later this weekend or maybe even next week--

http://www.galvestonweddingdj.com cant get to this link-- so dont know whats up...

if u are looking to link from ur photogallery page-- look at my photogallery code and u can copy it -- then u can link back from the gallery to another page--
ok its time to say good nite-- or rather good morning - i have PT in the morning so gotta get some shut eye
later--

Sorry! I decided to take everything off of galvestonweddingdj.com until I'm ready to display something decent. I also dont want the search engines to find it prematurely. Here is a rough sketch: http://www.extremepartydj.com/wed.htm This is not the same intro that Mark saw earlier but I will change and make it smoother and into one flash file then have the photo gallery link to another flash with no intro so that I won't irritate anyone. So, I'm trying ideas and learning how to make it at the same time, learning as I go. I'll also make a normal, traditional, html version of the flash. Then I'll comepletely change extremepartydj.com to a format something like this: http://www.extremepartydj.com/brightlensflare35.htm maybe in a different color. People didnt like the font on the red background.

Anyone with any ideas on which route I should/shouldn't take please let me know.

Hi DJ,

I say, your site is looking very slick and clean. I for one can not wait to see the finished product. I have just one negative comment, and this is a 'ME' thing. After you enter your main site, the user is faced with a non-browser type window.

Now, if others a like me, then they may well have 4 or 5 other web pages open at the same time, I have 4 at the moment. However, they are unable to get out of your web site unless they hit the close button. That is a shame. It would be good to keep people at your site as long as possible, but if they feel trapped in there, they may just click the close button.

That is just me though.

Search out Sharron Hollman on the forum search, she has had a goo dplay with the photo gallery and music a s well as Firestarter and music. There may be some useful info there.

Now hurry up and finish the site, I might just book you!!

Mark

Congratulations on your engagment Mark and thanks for your comments.

About the non-browser window, I purposely made it this way only because it looks nicer. I realize the side effects of non browsing on that window may be a problem but I hope that the benefits outweigh the risks. That is, I hope that they find this format of a non-browser window is more appealing than inconvenient. If they have the need to click out or close the window then they weren't really interested in me. Those that are will bookmark my site and request info. I could be out in left field but it's ok because this is experimental. Very good point.

Thanks again Mark!

Well, so far CC software has been a good diversion from my day job. :) Give it a try. It's addictive.
