David, I’m using version 6.0.2800.1106 of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Your little ‘ctrl’ mouse wheel suggestion worked, so I’m not having problems anymore. Thanks!

Just added a few more. One more Dulac and three Warwick Gobles, I think.

We really should put up some kind of page listing what these images are.

That would be great. I always want to know who the painter is. It’s one of the first things I do with a book when I like the cover art: check inside for the name of the artist.

All of the paintings you’re using so far are excellent.

Right now, there are three by Kay Nielsen and two by Edmund Dulac. I might be adding in half a dozen more, including some by Warwick Gobles.

David,

Are all of the rotating painting at the top from the same artist?

Well, I’m posting this comment from an IE6 browser, and it looks like the comment form problems have been fixed.

Now if I could only get those damn gray boxes next to the subheadings to line up correctly in IE6…

Oh woe, David, I hit post too soon and just figured out that the navigation bar is still covering up the comment box. I’ve come across this problem with other sites, and there might not be anything you can do about it and I refuse to give up my low-resolution, really big text addiction. (did I say high before? I meant low). Thanks for trying.

You are the best webmasters ever (I say that as someone who gets to play webmaster too).

David, all my comment box problems seem to be solved. Thanks!

Kevin — I’ll have to check it out. I know I haven’t seen these illustrations before.

Argh. Appears that there’s an IE6 Windows display bug that’s causing the comments box to not work properly. Be patient, I’ll see if I can fix that…

(Of course, you could always upgrade to IE7 or use Firefox… but don’t worry, I will fix this for IE6.)

Debbie: What browser and operating system are you using? It might be a browser-specific bug that I can try to fix. The main text is just about the same size as it was in the last design, except for the comments, which are a point size smaller.

(FYI, you may not be aware of it… but in most modern browsers nowadays, you can hold down the Ctrl button and roll the mouse wheel backwards and forwards to quickly resize the text.)
