Ok, I have everything back up and running. Unfortunately I lost all of my Cumulus data, but WxLink is fine. I have everything summarized in this post. Long story short, everything is up, I will eventually get a refurbished laptop. I hate computers. Anyway, I suggest reading the post I linked to, it has a lot more information if you are interested. I am too tired to retype all that.

Forcing a page to open in a new window means that your website is not "accessible" and contravenes the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). So what you might say .... well a blind person visiting your website using screen reader software would not be able to navigate your website.

There have been cases of web developers/companies being sued because their lack of website accessibility was seen as discrimination. I'm not sure what it is like in the USA, but down-under we have legislation, Disability Discrimination Act 1992, that covers this very point,  ..... a person (discriminator) discriminates against another person with a disability (aggrieved person) if the discriminator treats the aggrieved person less favourably because of the fact that the aggrieved person is accompanied by a reader .....

I will be changing my website soon to take care of that. Thanks for sharing that information.

I like the page colors. Very relaxed.
Good job!

Okay, I just made all of my links open in the same tab. I also added a link to BOINC and an image of my stats at the bottom of the page. The weather computer is perfect for BOINC. monmouthcountyweather.com

Yesterday I signed up for Optimum Online Ultra 50, which comes with free web hosting. 12 GB of storage space included. I updated the nameservers a few hours ago, so I am waiting for the DNS to update. We'll see how Optimum is as a host. Even if they aren't a good host, I'll stick with the Ultra 50. It's only $5 more a month to upgrade to 50 Mbps Down/25 Mbps Up.

Ok, I have moved my main website to the new host. I still have my forum and photos hosted with e-rice, but I will move that over some day. If you've been following my other post you would know that the transfer was anything but painless. Anyway, glad everything is done.

I may be trying to do a major overhaul to the weather section of my website soon. The Cumulus templates are nice, but they just don't match my main site. I may try to design a template in iWeb. This will be a big project, but if I can get it to work, this will make my site look better.

Don't know if you are working on the overhaul currently but when I go to your link, then select "Other Sites", when I go back to the entry page the right hand side does not display, apart from "station" in the top left corner.

The site seems to be working fine for me. Can you put up a picture of what you are seeing?

[gluepack]

and the missing image that it is attemting to display is

http://photos.monmouthcountyweather.com/images/DSCN0177.JPG

It displays the same in Opera, Firefox, IE and Chrome.

FYI...when I went in to look at your site it also showed the same as gluepack said..
The right side of the page is blank...

Ok, now I understand. I had that image hosted on my subdomain photos.monmouthcountyweather.com, but when I moved to my new host, I haven't set that up yet. I'll probably fix that today.
