Most of my questions will be about design. The header picture not being center is really bugging me. things like that.

Sorry
What do you think about the Blog?
I just saw you updated your WYDC. I'll try to catch it tonight after dinner.

[joandsarah]

It looks good, but the pictures are a bit small. You prefer blogger to LJ?
Maybe you could bold the text? I find that’s a little bit small. Sorry I'm a bit long sighted... or is that short sighted? I don't know, but I need reading glasses now ugg.

[holleyberry]

I can make the text bigger.
Those pictures are old and were taken at Medium. They look a bit grainy if I enlarge them. It's only the older chapters that that is an issue.

edit: I forgot to say that the problem with LJ is that you need a photo sharing site for the HTML. At Blogger you upload the pictures directly.

Thanks for being the blogger guinea pig, Holley! I'l be joining you there shortly. I like the format so much better, and having a chapter list in order available is a huge asset. I'd like to see how Val & others made that bio section, like on the Krisis blog.

I suspect the Bio section is its own Blog. I PM'd her to ask, but I haven't heard back yet.

I saw she had some problems with her hands from typing too much, so it may not be until tomorrow. (at least for us!)

Well if you post your pictures and text directly onto LJ you do, but that's hard work, why not just use Scribd or Slideshare?

They seems to diminish the quality of the pictures and it limits text to that smaller area.

Well a little bit. Might depend on your monitor as well. I thought that WYD update might have all grainy pictures because it was only the in game camera, but it looks surprising clear to me. How do they appear to you?

I always upload mine as a PDF as I read that improves picture quality.

As for there not being room, that can happen, but I've found if I use 'insert text box' down one side it gives me a lot more room. So last Mobacy chapter anytime I needed more room, I put the picture over to one side and used a text box.

Surprise!

I have a headache so I skimmed. I'll read it properly and leave a proper comment later, but woah.

[holleyberry]

So sorry you have a headache. I'm sure that made it worse, huh? ;D

[joandsarah]

Well, like I said I skimmed, I want my head clear before I read it properly. I took some Nurphen before, but it hasn't helped much.

No it won't make it worse, as I said I really don't mind what you do with Angel here because she isn't playing herself. -unlike another story which we won't mention here because *I'm not talking to you there!*
