I use a light shade of gray, close to white but it cuts the contrast enough so it's not so glaring, like #dddddd or #eeeeee. > Interesting about the printing problems, I don't think I've ever thought > about that. My computer automatically ignores the black background and > prints the white text in black and leaves colored text as is. I don't know if it's older printers or newer ones that have this problem. I know that HP laserjets love to print colors in shades of gray (found this out when I had color coded different numbers in a report and found the b/w HP laserjet was printing the blue and red numbers in a light gray, eep!) > My current solution is black background/white text with an option for text > versions.

I can't tell you how it does it, I can't write scripts like that, I just know it works. There's a particular script that it uses. You could download the automated archive scripts and find that one and adapt it to your own uses... And even tho your archive is small still, you might look at using the automated archive, it's much easier when you start out with it, than having to convert hundreds of stories later when the archive gets big (alice says after having converted a 2,000+ story archive and a couple 300+ story archives in the last four months :-)), I run every archive I set up or maintain on the automated archive now, even little ones. Once you get used to setting it up, it's easy. alice ttlg http://idiotbox.populli.net/ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ...a user was complaining that there was something wrong with the archive for a group because it looked like it was in Chinese.....It was in Chinese. - Brandon Long, eGroups.com _______________________________________________ Fanficwebdesign mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://populli.net/mailman/listinfo/fanficwebdesign_populli.net
