>>>I don't know if you've seen it but AOL does have a Webmasters page,
there are some browser stats for their system, as well as some FAQ that
might answer questions on poor image content etc.<<<
Yeah, I've used it frequently. It addresses some issues well enough,
but doesn't cover the things AOL thinks don't matter...like the image
compression (destruction) and whatever else it is they do that messes
with the format. I had one site I inherited that had a style sheet that
turned out to be the only thing visible when AOL loaded the page! This
is a nasty thing for any designer to be surprised by...
With over 50% of the market using AOL, I have to *see* the pages myself.
This is really an important thread for any designer who wants to grow.
Unfortunately.
