Sorry, the Boa has gotta GO! redesign
Thanks for lookng and for the helpful suggestions, friendofpugs. (BTW, I see in your profile that you're from Aurora Illinois. I spent a fair amount of time in that area in my college days in Beloit Wisconsin and on a dig in southern Illinois).…

Sorry, the Boa has gotta GO! redesign
More good suggestions. Thanks again. Not sure why I have the 2nd wrapper. Guess I needed it at one time, or thought I might. (Now it's just one more thing to clean up before we launch.) I already strongly proposed losing the blue text and why…

Site Recoding - Up to Standards Finally!
If you don't mind reactions from a noobie... Professional, clean look. Good color palette. Good typography. Nice graphics in the header. But I find the scrolling to different image sets more distracting than attractive. 10 items in the nav a…

faux column display problems (IE works, others don't)
Thank you Chris, That did indeed let the background-image appear. However, it also introduced a gap between the bottom of the #content_wrap and the footer, noticeable because the graphic stops just above of the footer. I can get around this by app…

can't decipher validation errors
Thanks Doc (and Rob), Yes, it did eiminate the other errors. What a relief! It was driving me nuts, and I didn't find the "explanations" from the W3C validator very illuminating. BTW, I'm glad I stumbled across this site. Not ju…
