| | | | | | Thanks for the feedback. I've been enjoying your web site recently. It has nice organization and plenty of stories. When is "Lion's Cove" going to be complete? Nobody I've asked is hot on guest books. I suppose it doesn't hurt to leave it in. Shiri (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | Just started looking at your site, and I like what I have seen so far. I take it you built your site at 1024x whatever resolution? You are not the only one who posts big beautiful pictures, but it does make it difficult for those of us at 800x600 (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | | I had actually been thinking that myself. Actually, I run my screen at 1200x1000 but my typical web window ends up being about 1024x700.
