Don't worry Jerry you are not the only one having this problem. Here I thought it was aol.

I was just glad to see that she decided to think for herself and on her own.

I agree, the index was very poorly laid out. I also think it was unecessary to have the under condtruction signs be quite so big-if you have a slow connection, it's all that time wasted. There are also a few other filk sites on the web, which I'll post, as soon as I find them. I have them around here somewhere...:-) Otavia That's funny, I didn't see any contruction signs at all! I hope that they are still under contruction. Can you imagine if one of us would have put a link to that in one of our pages........(shudder). Or am I being to cruel? >(Yes, OK, I have a leased line here, but I test everything I write from my >dial-up at home as well to make sure I haven't maxed out on the graphics... >the only exception to my "keep it small" rule is my cat's page, and that's >'cause she's too cute to fit into a smaller pic. :)) And I love Mitzi's page at that! Once I get my page up can I link to it? Is that proper protocol. Ask to have a link to a page or does one just do it? So to speak..... I truly would love to see the Larry Dixon art up and running soon. Stefan Not if its going to be like the other graphics I saw. No thank you . I think that I shall pass on that one. Now that I am all caught up......I will cut them some slack, first page and all. Shall we call an interior decorator?
