Frequently Asked Questions
Web Site
Q. Why does the text in the titles on your web pages have jagged edges? It doesn't look very good.
A. All information on our site is in text format. This ensures that the pages load quickly and all text is fully searchable. Many other sites use pictures for large font sizes. You can fix the 'jaggy' edges of your text by turning on 'Smooth edges of screen fonts'. In Windows, select Display from Control Panel, then make sure 'Smooth edges of screen fonts' is checked on the Effects tab.
Q. Why does your web-site look different depending upon which browser I am using? Using older browsers, your site looks very plain.
A. We have tried to design and develop this site to adhere to Internet standards. As such, there is only one version of this site. We do not use any special tricks to try to ensure this site looks optimum on all possible browsers. If this site does not look good in your current browser, we recommend that you upgrade your browser to the latest version. You can read more about a 'grassroots' effort for web standards at The Web Standards Project. You can read about our efforts here.
Q. Why am I asked for a user name and password when I select 'Edit Page' at the bottom of your web pages.
A. The 'Edit Page' link allows our web authors to easily perform on-line updates to this site. Please contact us if you would like more information about this feature.
Q. Why did you try to obfuscate the e-mail addresses on the contacts page?
A. Unfortunately, spammers have started using "robots" to search for new e-mail addresses on web pages. Although the code used to "hide" our real e-mail addresses is very simple, it should be enough to foil the "spambots". For more information, please see the Coalition Against Unsolicited Comercial Email, Spam Software: Email Harvesting, and many others listed on Google.
