Changes to the Header

Post by **tex** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 10:16 am

Hi All,

As you can see, I've made some more changes to the header. I like this arrangement, because it gets the marquee up above the logo, so that it doesn't look like the marquee is running into the logo. Also, I feel that the larger, red, bold, font, on the site description, makes it much easier for a newbie, surfing for information, to quickly determine what the site is all about.

I've also added a note beside the link to Sally's Photo Album, which should eliminate a lot of questions about how to get photos into the album.

It seems to be fairly well balanced this way. Jean, if you see anything wrong, from a graphic design standpoint, please let me know.

Or, if anyone sees anything significantly wrong with this layout, please don't keep it a secret. Thanks.

Love,
Tex

Well IMHO, and with my limited knowledge of the english language, I think it would read better like this...

Discussion and Support Forum for Collagenous, Lymphocytic, and Microscopic Colitis, as well as Related Issues

I think currently it says 'colitis' too many times. But that's only one opinion, right?

Well, I agree with you, Peg, but the more times key words are repeated, the higher the index ratings for those words for the site, in google's ratings, and colitis is a very imporant key word for this site.

Since google doesn't seem inclined to find us anyway, though, it might be a moot point. LOL.

Hmmmmm what's up with that? How does one search for us? I tried microscopic, collagenaous, colitis, etc and no hits on this site? I don't know enough about how one gets closer to the top when a search is done....let me see what I can find out.

Maybe Google's spider hasn't crawled the Web since we went public. Usually it takes a while.

Sorry, Peg, about the insect.

Love,

Sally

Well no wonder--you mispelled collagenous. LOL.

Sally's right. I haven't caught any googlebots indexing the site yet.

I still haven't installed the "guest sessions MOD'", which will allow the bots to properly navigate the site. I had just done that last Thursday, when the server swarmed on us. Since then, I'm a bit gun shy about accidentally "killing" the site, as it seems to worry some folks, and so I'm a little self-conscious about it.

The problem is, every time something like that happens, in addition to trying to find the problem, and getting the board back online, I also have to answer a bunch of e-mails, which of course, doesn't add much to the enjoyment of the adventure. LOL.

Love,
Wayne

I just spent a few mintues looking for us, but to no avail.

Amazing....I googled keywords "microscopic colitis support" and there were 45,200 sites.

When I googled "colitis support" there were 1,110,00 sites!

It's mind blowing for sure. We are "out there" somewhere in space and soon to be discovered..

Love,
Joanna

Wayne,

It meets my picky approval.

Love, Jean

Jean,

I know you're just saying that to make me feel good, but I appreciate it anyway. LOL.

Love,
Wayne
