Re: St. Louis Old & New Website

Couldn't agree with you more Mary Ann...

Paulette,

Mary Ann is right, the bottom of the index page is a shocker to say the
least. Make a separate links page - it's pretty frightening right
now...other than that the graphics are very nice (though I agree with Mary
about the counter too - a simple text counter would be fine)

Keep up the good work - (BTW: my father's family is from St. Louis and I
gave him the link, he found it to be very helpful...)

Hi Paulette,

Here were some of my thoughts when I looked at the index page of your
site.

1.  Drop the fancy counter and put a simple counter in the middle or
on the bottom of your page.  Those houses make it too difficult to
read.

2.  I wouldn't bother to say that you have moved from AOL.  Probably
all your usual readers know this fact by now.

3.  The bottom of your index page in daunting.  Phew!  I would make
separate pages for webrings, logos and/banners, etc.  Too, too much
all crammed together here.

4.  I would leave the guestbook and the HWG logo on the index page.
Put your copyright on the bottom of the page.

5.  I love those building graphics.  Your background and the
buildings give a nice clean look.  Sorry I didn't have time to check
out all those other pages.  Too bad I have no ancestors in St. Louis.
I bet your page is an excellent resource for people.

Please realize all these comments are just MHO.

Sincerely,
Mary Ann
