VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I've used "slices" for things that had a million rollovers (my barnyard, for instance) but I don't really see the point for a single image.

Let's try this as an experiment:

http://www.vo-bb.com/PatFraley.com/

See if it loads faster.
It might just be Fraley Boy's server.

Deirdre,

If anything the images seem to load slower to me.

Connie--I was thinking of you and people LIKE you who prefer smaller browser windows.

The deal with the right-offset is an experiment with absolute placement.
It's not centered, it has a static placement in the browser window.
It's all part of another motif that seemed more artistically necessary, which has so far trumped centering the tables.

Loads quickly for me. And I'm on a laptop fed by my wireless router.

IE6 has some issues caching images which may account for some people loading slower on every visit.

Steve,

I'm using Firefox. The slow load is only visible the first time. At least for me. And it's not that is's super S L O W. It's just that the graphic sort of unrolls onto the screen rather than pops, whcih is what I'm more used to seeing.

Won't it be harder to maintain a calendar of events as an image vs. using text? Plus, what about people who want to copy and paste the list of events? I'm sure I'm not the only one who does things like that-- I sometimes will email a list of classes or somesuch to someone and ask if they can join me, etc. Or I'll email the list to myself so I can check my calendar...

The webite loaded up fine.
I knew a Pat Fraley a long time ago back in Baltimore. He was a car salesman... probably not the same guy.

I have a wi-fi internet connection, not as fast as cable is reputed to be, but it loaded quickly and smoothly for me. Everything looked good - real good!

Easy to navigate and no clutter. I like "easy to navigate". I like "no clutter". I like "loads quickly". Websites that load slowly, are difficult to navigate and are cluttered and visually unappealing just don't hold my attention or interest.

It appears as though some minor flaws were discovered and corrected, and if I were to find any fault of any kind, it would be that I like to copy and paste certain things so I can print them for future reference, so on this I agree with Amy.

All in all, I would say "Good job - well done!".
