ah, Netscape!  Okay, I adjusted things a bit so it should less scrunched now?

And please tell me, the MediaFan logo, the image with "MediaFan" repeated in a
circle, is that on the left side below the "webhosting, etc." or to the right
of it?  I'm curious because I have a separate style sheet for N4 users but
I've never been quite sure whether Mac/N4 users are seeing that or the fancy
style sheet that uses @import.  The placement of the logo image will tell me
which style sheet you're seeing....

are you talking about decimal codes?  I'm using hexadecimal codes which is
what PSP shows in the R, G, B boxes in the palette.  What's the advantage of
using decimal rgb codes versus hexadecimal?  If I change my palette to display
decimal codes and use that, the colors don't look any different to me:

(I've only changed the colors for the "Here, Here" text and the "Need
email?..." text below that.)

hmmm, beware of color shift.  There was an extensive study done about the
display of even the so-called web-safe colors at different color settings, 8
bit, 16 bit, 24 bit and 32 bit.  And at the most widely used color setting, 16
bit, it turned out that there were only 22 colors that didn't shift so I
generally use transparent gifs for titles and such or I create a 1x1 pixel
image of the background color I want and use that for my background image,
then everything on the page shifts the same way, background image, title
images, etc.

I like the green tho.  Purple is a bit predictable...but oh well, I'll play
with it later.  Hey Tamy, this is your site, how does the green look?  still
blue?  would you rather have purple?

LOL!

I got yelled at for too much white earlier on...<grins at Rauhnee>

I know the feeling, no pressure, comment whenever you can and thanks much for
