2)
This site relies heavily on graphic files, each of the journal page is a separate
jpeg file. Please be patient while each page loads, the faster your
connection the quicker the page will load.
3) The Font used on most of this site is "Brush Script
MT". This font gives the appearance of being handwritten,
which I feel is appropriate for the primary content of the web site, a
handwritten journal. If you are not seeing these letters in
handwriting but in traditional block lettering it may mean one of the
following: a) Your computer does not have Brush Script MT loaded as one
of its fonts. b) Your computer may need to be restarted to clear its
memory to allow it to view fonts other than the default font. c) Your
computer may need more memory in order to view this font along with
other programs you are running simultaneously.
If you have
determined that Brush Script is not loaded onto your computer and you
would like to add the Brush Script Font
to your computer click here.
4) To navigate
the journal pages faster you may want to use the Master Directory or Table of
Contents. The Master Directory gives all Journal Directories, with the
details, on one page. The Table of Contents gives a listing of all pages
available, without details. Use the Journal Directory pages if you know
the time period of a particular event you are looking for.
5) This site is best viewed with
Internet Explorer, Netscape may not allow you to view or hear some of the
features of this site.
