doug Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Thanks to a lot of help, I've at long last managed to include a couple of photos from my training route. Would appreciate comments especially from people not on BB because of the picture sizes. Newcomers click on the www button below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Shirl, you on BB or wet string? Could it be due to the images being too large or can't you get to the home page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I'm using wet string with a tin-can on the end and my cousin is surfing on the other PC......But I have ordered Broadband :DI'll keep trying......and no I can't access the homepage :(Shirl.

doug Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks, the route map is about to be traced out. Still hoping for a reply from someone not on BB though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 It's working fine for me now Doug :thumbup: Pics are a little slow but I expect that so nothing wrong there.Shirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks for the info Shirl. Couple of domestic jobs to do then I'll start on the map of my training route. Originally I had used sections of the large scale maps from http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/getamap/ but there was so much detail it just looked a mess. I'm going to try and trace out the relevant details. Some people have said they know this area so it may be of interest to them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 On BB but found the whole site very, very slow to load. Even getting to the first page took 20 or so seconds and then about a minute more to load everything on it. The bottom RH corner curve remained stubbornly absent until I forced it with a right click and a "show picture".Maybe the fault is at my end - I'll have another look later.May I make a point about the style? IMO it would look better in a font other than TNR which gives it a "letter/newspaper" feel. Also you may want to consider RH justifying. Just a thought :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks pops. Could you elabourate of you last paragraph with a couple of examples. I'm no good on style, or spelling or gramma for that. Took me 4 goes to do 'O' level english I am ashamed to admit. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Sorry Doug, that comes with talking to my son too much.TNR = Times New Roman - the typeface you are using. Windows and Office give you loads more (but be careful because tha Internet won't accept some of them) that could make your page look more like printed text rather than a newspaper or letter. Which one is best is up to you and the Internet. RH justify = is to straighten up the line endings to a (invisible) margin line. In Word it's done by highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl, JI can't easily give an example as the formatting here won't allow it but you should easily be able to try yourself.BTW, drugs I'm on are Atenolol 100mg (v.high dose), aspirin, Diltiazem, Diclofenac, Atorvastatin, Ramipril, potassium supplements :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 When I checked your site earlier, doug, I was on Netscape. I've just tried it with IE6 and it's much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Thanks for the input pops, I'll take it on board and play with different styles for the next but one update. Must get that map sorted - too many domestic diversions. Withe respect to your medication, I thought I had well with blood pressure getting down fro 170+ to 136/64 over the year. Unfortunately my Doc had too much time on his hands and give some serious thought to the cholesterol. He's now decided he wants to see it lower so I'm now taking Simvastatin daily. When do the docs decide that everything's OK? :bangin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
