Far too wide. It requires the viewer to scroll back and forth to read
a single line.

While you're making that change, change that image of yours. It's
over-sharpened and makes it look like you have a severe skin
condition. Red-eye is easy to correct with any image editing program.

My sincere apologies if you actually do have a severe skin problem and
red eyes.

Tony, Hay thanks for the comments. You are right, I compose my web site on
my Toshiba notebook which has a 17" screen. In the past I always composed
my old web site on Geocities to the left as they would put up ads which I
did not wish to block my items.

I'll try and fix my home page based on your comments.

On my browser much comes up in dark blue writing on a black background,
that is difficult to read.

My other comment would be that you seem to have large blocks of
garish colours, which are from 'At Our last Coin Club Meeting...'
onwards - see my screenshot at

Tony...I can not thank you for enough for helping me. I have a local friend
"Jeff" in the stories, who tries to check what I put up. He is very good as
an editor. He knows the Kings English better than I do. But he never said
anything about my site layout.

Please take another look. I made it smaller. I'll work on the colors next.

Thanks

Don't know which "Tony" you mean, but I'll chime in:

Much, much, better. No scrolling is required now. You look healthy.

About the colors...I think they're a bit garish, but that's personal
taste. They are not what I would choose, but they don't bother me.
Number 1 is readability, and you pass that test.

The early family pictures and family pictures are done tastefully.
The family story page is still too wide. No scrolling is really
necessary, but the line width makes readability a bit difficult.
About two-thirds of the width you have now would be more readable.

The Depression page requires scrolling to read a complete line. That
just doesn't encourage readership.

Don't you think it's time for you to change that old 12" screen you must be
using ;-)
