Website for my Guild

Very nicely done! Easy to manuver around. Found only 2 small problems you might want to fix. (1)The Attention alert on primary page in my IE was 2 1/2 lines and was sitting on top of the graphic of the frame. (2)The word "every" was mis-spelled as "evey" in the Events paragraph.

BTW--when I said half a line I meant you could see the top half of the letters of the 3rd line

Thank you! This is the kind of thing I need to know, 'cause it looks just fine in FrontPage.

Hello Betty!! I just checked this out..... nice work... good to see you again... hugs Mem Neets

The Attention now shows 3 lines minus the tail of the g and y. If there are more than 3 lines they are not showing. The typo is fixed though :)

-- Kathy in CA Quilting Stuff:

Okay, how's this. I scrapped the old graphic and tried a new one.

Thanks for the help. I don't understand it--it looks fine on my computer when I go to the website. What browser are you using? I'm on IE6.

It must be the Netscape Navigator that's causing the problem. Not much I can do about that! Sorry. :P But thanks, anyway.

Right on with the chocolate. I've been soothing my frustration with this thing with Peanut Butter cups and resisting the urge to get a bowl of "Husky Tracks" That, for the unfortunates who don't live in CT is a new ice cream flavor under the auspices of the UCONN Dairy Bar. It's Vanilla ice cream with real fudge swirls and little peanut butter cups. My DH inhales it. I get to lick the spoon.

When I put up a website using Dreamweaver, there was 'fix' for the way Netscape viewed the page. I don't remember if the fix was just for Dreamweaver or generic. You might try searching for this on the web and in the FrontPage manual. This sounds like that error.

Oh good. Thanks for letting me know. Apparently my mistake was telling the "table" that the page is based on to be 80% wide rather than a specific width in pixels. Now I just have to remember what that measurement is for the next time.

I just went thru the website. It looks wonderful! You are doing a wonderful job for them! I hope they shower you with FQs and chocolate!

I am curious about one thing. The picture on the front page is of your raffle quilt. Are you still selling tickets to that? And is the group a charitable organization? 501c I think is what the IRS calls it. The reason I ask is that in Texas we can't do that because it's considered advertising nationally, which violates the laws under which we can get income as a non-profit organization. I don't want to open a whole can of worms about that, but I was just curious, and thought you might like to okay it. Probably it's fine and Connecticut laws are different than Texas ones, I'm sure.

Elena

This looks great!

Yes, we're still selling tickets, and we were debating putting in the info for where you could write for tickets. I'll have to check our state rules. BTW if anyone wants tickets, e-mail me privately or snail mail me--I'm in the directory now. They're $1.00.

Maybe it's time to start up another guild. The guild I'm in was apparently very clique-y up until about six years ago. I hate to say this, but what changed is that some of the older members died or moved away. It's too bad it took THAT to change things!

It's a very friendly guild now, over 500 members (!!!) and still growing. I don't think anyone would ever impose a waiting list.

Ronnie

Could you get the waiting list, call everyone on it and start a new group made up of everyone who can't get into the old group? You all obviously are interested in quilting, and that's what matters.

Nice site. It is too wide for me to read on IE5 though.

Also, for those of us who don't know which Thames River you are on, it might be nice to have that closer to the top somehow?

Mary

Nice site! Our guild gives the choice of snail or email newsletters, and also posts it on our area on Google....but it's nowhere nears as well-done as yours!!!
