The reason the web pages are opening that way is that the css style is missing. There should be a file called style.css in the same folder as these web pages.

If you'd like a cheaper graphics program, this [link] is pretty good. I end up using both it and Photoshop.

If you send me the jpgs, I'll see what can be done with them. Profile addy is good.

(Inevitable cross post. I neglected to mention the js file, but I think it controls the rollovers.)

Dur. Of course the css and js files were in that folder for a reason.

I uploaded them, and all the graphic bits I could find, but the pictures are not showing up (the leaf and flame, etc.) Do I need to put them in a subfolder or something for the html page to grab them?

Ginger, you are a goddess among women. I'll get those images to you toot sweet. I'd like to upload them to vistaprint...for the cheap printing, of course...but when I put up the image I created, it was all kafloogitty.

Bless you all!

Oh, and xara looks like it would do me fine, except that I'm all mac all the time. Sometimes that reality makes me go 'oh, woe.' But, I'm dyed in the wool, so...stuck!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, it looks like the images should be in a subfolder called "images".

The graphics need to be in a folder called "images."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You could try GIMP for Mac OS X [link] It's free.

All the images are safely tucked away...but a few seem missing. I'll have to hunt them down. But...it's getting closer!

I'm off to check out GIMP and see a client. Back soon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

FYI for anyone who may need this tip later.

On my computer with Vista I noticed that my capacity was getting eaten up. I started with about 25gigs free and then when I looked up a few days ago, I only had 4 gigs free. I thought it was a virus, or adware and I did a complete inspection of both issues. Still no dice. I downloaded a program to examine my hard disk and it showed about 50gigs occupied, but there nothing showed up that would explain the phantom 25 gigs.

Until I did some more google searching and found out about Vista's system restore feature. Apparently, that feature was gobbling up space, so I had to stop it altogether (which suddenly recovered my 25 gigs of space) and then I put a maximum limit on how much space the feature could take up (3 gigs max) and then I turned the feature back on.

Just in case someone encounters this problem here.

Ginger, Have you received any messages from me?

I think the first two may have gotten through but all the rest have been bounced back from two different addresses.

I meant to send you the font, bembo (sounds very lotr) but both those messages and subsequent 'did you get it' messages got tossed.

No, I haven't. How odd. I just sent you an e-mail with another address.
