Fair Warning

I'm tired of the SoBig emails clogging up my mailbox, so I've set up a rule to permanently delete any emails with attachments. I've also removed the handy "Email Me" link that was formerly to the right and replaced it with a plain written address that hopefully can't be read by the crawlers.

I'm going to be looking around for a script to protect any address left on my site. If you have a good one, let me know. In the interim, if you want, please feel free to leave a fake or altered address when you're commenting....I don't mind at all.

I'm also planning to start mucking about with my template today....the black background is starting to bug me....so if you have any display problems, just let me know. I can't promise that I can fix it, but I'm hoping to find something that works on most browsers.

The old "One size fits most" approach.

A fact that my husband has begun to hate me for: I have yet to receive a single virus email. He, on the other hand, gets around two hundred per day. I guess those nasty virii just know better than to mess with me.

I like the dark text on white - used to be, I was in love with the white on black but anymore my old tired eyes just can't deal with it. Whenever I go to white on black blogs I have to copy/paste the entry into Word so that I can read it. So you know I'm going to be loving anything that makes my life a little easier. :^)

My progressive lens-enhanced eyeballs thank you. While you're tweaking, is there a way that you could make the title of each entry a tad darker? I read the entry before I noticd its title. You always "do great title," and I would hate to miss them.

Natalie, Mike's jealous because he's yet to get a single virus email either. I'm getting tons of them, and ones that were rejected by other ISPs since my bloody address got spoofed. I'll be glad when this one expires.

I know Jim, I'm having the same problem with this stylesheet. I'll keep messing with it until I can read it with my bionic bifocals.

You're more than welcome Jim. Now as long as it displays alright for most everyone, we may have a keeper.

It looks fine to me but then I'm running IE 6.0 so take that for what it's worth.

My on-the-fly fix for hard-to-read blogs: highlight the text. It almost always makes it perfectly readable.

And if the blog is always difficult to read, I eventually stop reading it...

ps - I don't know if Andy has mentioned it to you yet or not, but your blog looks good in Netscape on his Linux machine.

Thanks Natalie. The only one I've had problems with in the past was Opera. I keep meaning to download it & check but I ain't got around to it yet. Guess if it wasn't working, someone would've said something by now.

I hope.
