Hey Stephen,
Thats a pretty tasteful site

Im expecting to be building quite a few church websites this year, so its good to see what little gadgets people are employing.

What did you use for the podcasts mate?

thanks for the info Sir

Nick,

Thanks for the notice.  I've had that happen to me too, but sometimes I re-fresh and it goes away.  I developed the site checking regularly with IE 6 and Dimensions comes with PNG fix included.  During Development it was fine (a pain in the BUT, but fine).

However, I think the cache component and the PNG fix are clashing with each other a bit.  Still, I've asked the church to keep me in formed as to "the site looks crappy" remarks, and I haven't heard too many reports of crappy looking site from the church.

I don't have the link right now, but I saw an article where a top level tech guy in Microsoft was trying to figure out why the Alpha filters flake out - these are things the PNG fix uses.  So I think they are a bit unstable.  Next time?  no transparency for me. 

Thanks again though....I'll keep an eye on it.

Nick,

Yeah, I use fireworks.  Saw that others had the same problem as you with Photoshop, so I went ahead and got Fireworks.  I actually really like it for web stuff.

If I clear both my caches (joomla and other cache component) and then re-fresh with IE 6 everything is fine.  I'm guessing it still isn't fine for you?

Let me know if it isn't.  Maybe I can turn off the cache program and have you take a look at it after that to see if it is still blocking up because it is good on my end.

Thanks.

Steve

Ok, Cool.  Thanks for checking.  It really is weird because I've had people tell me that it looks bad, but on my end it is good.  I guess I'll just keep it as it is for right now - maybe look into the cache thing.  Thanks for the help.

Steve

Nope it does that automatically - there are some other effects too but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

JEM618,

Thanks for the kind words.  The site really isn't meant to be much of a community site at this point.  So I sort of wanted them to blend into the background as much as possible, but still be readable. 

You are right though that it is a bit hard to see.  If they desire more community interaction in the future I will probably change it to a more readable color.

Steve
