Images are intentionally left out, I don't know
what kind of images I should use either. The only
images I use, are my own, I'm so tired of the
standard oak tree clipart you will find on every
genealogy site.
A perfectly reasonable way of approaching the problem.
If you don't like the color scheme I have picked,
well, I could choose another, and some others
wouldn't like that.
S/he describes them as 'nasty colors.'
I really don't understand. You're using
blue and blue-green only, a classic analogous color
scheme used for thousands of years by artists from
many cultures.
But if the text is difficult or unpleasant to
read, then that is a problem. Should I have
broader left and right margins? Any other hints
please?
Visually it is just fine.
Internally, it is an outdated morass. ;(
If you ever decided to change it's look, you would have to
change almost every line of the markup instead of making a couple of tweaks
in a CSS file.
Really, if you're going to be giving *technical* advice on
your page you should show you have the savvy *yourself* by updating the
page to modern semantic markup. (The crack about Frontpage is particularly
bizarre, since your pages internals show almost exactly the same kinds of
problems! It appears that you're just parroting something you've heard.)
When you do update your pages, their markup will shrink to about half the
present size, perhaps even less, and they will be much easier to read and
maintain.
It's definitely time to be doing some reading at w3c.org, webstandards.org,
alistapart, meyerweb, and realworldstyle. After doing the update you can
give your technical advice with a bit more authority.
