For those of us that know little about web design, we look to the genealogy 
program to create our webpages, and I did so for quite some time, but each time 
I looked at them I was ashamed of them, the font size was a real frustration to 
me,  the amount of options has had little change with each new Legacy, I 
started with Legacy 5 and have bought each update available.  Sometime later I 
paid someone to design a website that I could add the Legacy web creation to.  
I finally contacted Ron Ferguson and he graciously helped me and told me about 
LTools, and it's like totally different web pages.  
 
I along with others have voiced our opinion numerous times, but it seems to 
fall on deaf ears.  If Legacy doesn't want to include CSS etc., then why not 
try to work with a add on company that does.   I personally don't use the add 
ons that are available even though I'm sure they are good, but I am offended 
when those that are not interested in better web page creation complain about 
those of us that do.    I receive the Legacy User Group e-mails and probably 
75% of those I'm not interested in, but I don't complain about them.    We are 
all different and have different taste and as long as it's about Legacy we 
should respect others interest at least in my opinion.
