Thanks.
On the extra ‘space’. On my screen there is 80px difference between the top of the content container and the top of Coment container in the Master and in the site folder of the template. Another 35 px between it (content-container) and top of van-gough-seeder in the template. It is also on Gallery & Shevela, Ka and Contact pages
With invisibles ON, there is the letter P above each image in the content-content container. Is this what needs to come out. Then How? While it is possible to type text there- what will remove the line? delete’ does not work except to remove the text, not the space. Nothing was found in the Appendix Keyboard Shortcuts.
What’s the solution?

Thanks… interestng… to different combinations of forward arrow and back arrow then delete; but believe that corrected it.
On different note. Today when I click on the catalog page it shows correctly that I removed the former brown image. But If I reclick on the catalog page AGAIN it jumps to the Gallery page. Some where I must have that as a link? without knowing it? How to correct?

The Links in the Menu on the main page are correct, however the Catalog link on the Catolog page is incorrectly defined as gallery.html
You might want to select the Nav container ‘fwNavContainer1’ and make sure that the checkbox - Use Master Content is checked.
Also on the Catalog page you appear to have 3 Divs that have text content ie Div ‘content’, Div ‘item2’ and Div ‘comments’. These 3 Divs have different widths so the centred text in them centers around different midpoints so does not align from top to bottom.
Thanks… interestng… to different combinations of forward arrow and back arrow then delete; but believe that corrected it.
Still seeing extra space on Katreena’s page - still got empty paragraphs in there.
Also the image on the gallery page needs to be cropped to remove a white border and it is not behaving responsively. Renaming the Div ‘item3’ on the gallery page to ‘content’ (as it is on the Master) should fix that.
Thanks David. Need multiple images on some pages and have confusing results, several crashes of FW7.1.1 as I try/test what it can do it on one page and it fail to work on another. The contact page is the problem one. So I duplicated the KA page as a test and I will upload it with the additional page as a test if possible. My thinking is to just remove the ‘defective’ contact page…(?)

If you’re really 89 and doing web design that’s amazing! Congratulations, that’s excellent. Most folks born before the 1940s are quite computer challenged. My 80ish y/o neighbor 2 doors down called me because here iMac mouse wasn’t working the other day and she couldn’t figure out why. I went over and changed the batteries for her.
To me there are some obvious issues with the site.
Page Headings - there are none. How is the visitor to know what the page is about?
‘Index’ in the Navigation means very little to most folk. Home would be more appropriate yet I feel that there should also be an ‘About’ page - what is this site for? Its purpose?
Image quality - it is not good. Especially in the images that have text included in them. Unreadable at smaller sizes. Use real text instead.
Bold text - there is too much of it. I thought that Richard had provided you with a Typographical styles page - have another look at it and decide on consistent styles. Keep bold text for headings and sub headings.
Thanks Karen… physical body was born in January 1926 and got into Macs with the very first one in '85 writing a manuscript on typewriter and the Mac changed everything. Now ave 3 from Tiger to Snow Leopard to Yosemite (with dismal small characters inherent in it so it’s hard on the eyes.)
On FW, etc I read manuals, print and study, but need to Experiment and try… Comparing inspector views is helping; adding a ‘new’ page and testing this and that helps. My memory is a challenge now, so I have to write info down or forget I deleted padding or margin to see what the results would be…which leads to a stack of paper with screen shots of inspector panels, etc and still questions… but in a way it’s satisfying accomplishing the visual result… something inside says it’s always p ossible… whateve ‘it’ is. Thanks for the post Karen.
And thanks to Richard and Delta Dave and any others who posted.

Do you use any of the assistance features within the Accessibility System Preferences - I am thinking of the Zoom feature which allows you to quickly zoom your view by holding the Ctrl Key and Scrolling on the back of your Mouse.
I found it invaluable when I was having some eye problems. It means you can quickly Zoom sections of your screen without altering any settings within an app.

D… thanks… Testing the Ctrl+scroll in FW and Word, it works fine in Word but not in FW. However in FW and other software I often use the command+ to enlarge the onscreen items
On the contact page, after cleaning it up, it seems to work ok
On the images…some of them have been replaced… To do that I use Photoshop and reduce the size; sometimes going thru the ‘enhance graphic’ to get a clear result; and they look okay on my iMac and a separate Samsung 18" monitor
On the page headings and navigation all seems to work okay now except Index and gallery images are lower at top than others so I’ll re-examine and see what’s what.
Thanks

It is a System wide setting and works in all software as it doesn’t affect the individual application but the Mac OS.

It may work but you have missed my point - you have NO Page Headings. How does the visitor know what the page is about?
As I tried to explain ‘index’ as a Navigation item is meaningless to most visitors - you would be far better to change it to ‘Home’ or ‘About’
Index and gallery images are lower at top than others
The Gallery image has a white border that is why it appears lower - you need to crop the image to remove that.
There is also no need to use png files (unless you are using transparency) as png files are bigger than the equivalent jpg. You can save your visitors unnecessary download times by sticking to jpg.
Please look at the site NOW. So far as I know, it looks like the items mentioned above have been corrected
exception… I will convert .png to jpg as I did not know it made a difference in quality or size… I literally see no difference in them in photoshop or on the internet.

There is still a white border around the gallery pic.
You need to add some (more) padding to any html item that contains text (especially when it has a coloured background) - main culprits are the first text box on the Home page, the text container on the Sheveleva page.
As they stand the beginning/end of the text (and either side) are too close to the edges of the containers - it makes it look like it is squashed in.
Image quality on Catalog and More Art pages is still bad - especially the text portion of the images on the More Art page.
The ‘caption’ on the photo on the Contact page is illegible at smaller screen sizes - you would be better off without it.
Still no Page Headers - how do I know what page I am on, never mind what the page is about?
I will convert .png to jpg as I did not know it made a difference in quality or size…
Not necessarily a quality difference but for the same dimension of image a jpg is a smaller file size ie faster page load.
D what size screen are you using to make those suggestions? To my eyes on FF and Safari on line, I do not see the need to increase edges around text. I’ve spent hours comparing inspector entries (written out on a 8 x 11 sheet of paper… and altered padding and margins as best I can. What’s active now is the result. ( with NO experience in making any changes for narrower widths and NONE made by me.) As I understand it, the goal is to have the page fully functional and readable at any width, and that’s what I work to do.)
=== ON page headers (do you mean the name of the page?) If so, that’s the templace which shows in the wider windows, but narrow are hamburger so I’ve not attempted to alter that layout. I prefer a template with the page titles across the top with the page in use indicated.
++++
With the existing template to which I added pages, the problem seems to be the Gallery page where I had to create a new item one which comes up with a different CSS layout in the inspector and I cannot get to work correcdtly
++++=The ‘caption’ on the photo on the Contact page is illegible at smaller screen sizes - you would be better off without it. What words to you refer to?? All look fine here in all widths although I do not have an iphone tiny screen, the narrow width shows fine even when I use command minus to go to the smallest screen. (not arguing here, trying to understand. I’ve spent at least 10 hours working on it from your post and what’s there now is best I been able to accomplish.

after that post I altered the CSS Menu for pages to show the current page, and darkened the page names
Not enough - and it doesn’t tell you what the page is about.

But, at the end of the day, if your client is happy who am I to criticise. I just would be concerned that you are not giving them the best quality service/product that you can.
Thanks D. Just added test on the illustrated page to see how it may work. At times the resulting CSS menu is different (CSS icon is in upper right corner of inspector instead of 5 lines down in another view and getting it to respond correctly is a problem.
