And writing that goes over several backgrounds--can't see it!. I'm a boomer; lots of us are my age group, or older and tiny writing gets harder to see with older eyes. Why make it even harder by using a background that renders it almost invisible?

Easy to read, familiar, good-looking. I'm not a professional designer; I'm an amateur so I use them a lot. I hate the fonts things are published in so if I'm copying an article for my reading, I always change it to arial. So shoot me. If a publisher wants a designer to use something else, that should be part of the job description. It's not cheating unless instructions requiring something else have been stated upfront.

Doing what we've learned through training is not easy. What we are currently doing is comfortable to us and easy to stick with because it's what we are used to. Here's the clincher, we stick with it even though we know the better thing we really should be doing. The other major factor is the fact that change is uncomfortable.

You've given me some things to investigate, certainly. I should have provided you a URL before, sorry. Its www.mikedesigns.co.uk. I was given the webspace as a favour from a friend and so have never had direct contact with the hosting company nor have I got a host control panel. He gave my the ftp address and username/password. Having run a trace search from my URL it says the host is fasthosts.co.uk. Should I try contacting them anyway or ask my friend what to do? Once again, thank you. Mike Hi Flash
