JPEG photographs, Acrobat PDF files, and illustrations were inserted into HTML table-based pages. In October, 2011, after upgrading my computer operating system to 64 bit Windows 7, I rebuilt the website using Xara Web Designer 7. Kind of like moving out of the WWII barracks and into a suburban ranch house. The pages and pictures are pretty much the same, only the code has been bloated. Some high resolution jpegs have been replaced with compact gif and png images. Other images have been added at the 1920 pixels width to fill the displays of high def monitors and phones. (June 2021) The pandemic is waning, it’s ten years now with Xara Web Designer. This site is now 13 years old and I’m updating some pages with some new content and new links.
