In general, getting rid of excess code that serves no function is a good thing. Getting rid of code that makes your site look "over optimized" and serves no function is a very good thing. .

Sorry I guess I did use the wrong "Wording" out of date was the first thing that popped into my head without thinking more:-(
.

Actually the more I think of it "Outdated" probably isn't such a bad description. Not that the tags themselves are outdated (most of them were always worthless) but the designers that assumed they had some effect are the ones who were outdated. LOL

Probably not, but when you make up a metatag for the purpose of putting in that information, then it has a possibility. Most likely it would cause no problem by itself, but if enough other items were "stuffed" then it just may help tip the balance.

Thank you so much for your comments, Steve. We have removed the meta tags you mentioned. With regard to the picture size, here's the story: we had to resize the pics we received. At the time this work was done, we did not have Photoshop, so we used GIMP as an image editor. Subsequently, we compared the GIMP product with a Photoshopped version. The Photoshopped version was noticably sharper and it was 50 percent smaller! Anyway now we have a project to redo the pictures with Photoshop. It'll probably take us a week or two to get to this.

GIMP should be able to do it just as well, but it may be a stray compression setting hiding somewhere.

GIMP's numbers for compression are different than Photoshop and different than FIreworks. I found this conversion table that may help if you want to stick with GIMP.

Thank you so much for your comments, Steve. We have removed the meta tags you mentioned. With regard to the picture size, here's the story: we had to resize the pics we received. At the time this work was done, we did not have Photoshop, so we used GIMP as an image editor. Subsequently, we compared the GIMP product with a Photoshopped version. The Photoshopped version was noticably sharper and it was 50 percent smaller! Anyway now we have a project to redo the pictures with Photoshop. It'll probably take us a week or two to get to this.

I would love to see it but I have tried and cannot get you site to come up. I have tried every which way. What am I doing wrong.

hmmm that is very strange. Sometimes some ISP's accidentally block some legitiimate ip addresses in an attempt to block spammers, bots and hackers. I'd keep trying for a day or two and if it is still not showing for you, you may have to call your ISP and let them know that you are unable to get to a site that is up and running.

One last comment, the header text is splotchy on my monitor and hard to read. Beautiful header, it is the text needs some clarification The B&B portion. I think it is to be artistic, but hard to read on my end.

.

June, if you are talking about the graininess of the "Briar Rose" text in the rose logo, the story is that this font is called "Papyrus". It is supposed to look like it is printed on papyrus paper, i.e. grainy. I personally would like the font without the graininess but we couldn't find it. By the way, the logo design was outsourced for $400 to www.logobee.com. We thought this was a good deal.

Yes I saw it was papyrus, a reed/plant from Egypt. But the smaller font for the words "bed and breakfast" in papyrus are not real clear. With everything else being CRISP on the new website I thought you would like that to be as well. The Briar Rose is clear enough even with the grainy papyrus look - but it is larger text.

I just looked - - Actually it is not in papyrus, it is this header here.

Here is my last comment - when I go to the rooms page and click on MORE PHOTOS then I have to mess around to get back to the next room to view. As the photos are VERY LARGE on these indiv room pages.
As a guest viewing all the rooms before picking one, I would like a VIEW NEXT ROOM button on each current page so I can just click on forward to the next room..

June, thanks for the next room tip... we have implemented it:
