TIPS FOR VIEWING
THE WWW.CHRISTMASTRADITIONS.COM

For your maximum viewing pleasure.

Recommended Browsers:

This site has been optimized for Netscape versions 3 & 4 and Internet Explorer version 4. This site has been produced using a Macintosh, but all efforts have been made to make sure the pages on this site will display properly on both Macintosh and PC computers using one of these browsers.

America Online's web browser in AOL's software package, including version 4.0, is not recommended at this time due to many display inconsistencies. We try our best to deal with these and check every page we create in AOL's web browser, both Mac and PC versions, and optimize the pages as best as possible.

Note to AOL Web browser users:

If you notice distorted lines running horizontally through any images or "fuzzy" images on this site, or other sites, try the following:

• From the selections on the menu bar at the top, find the "Preferences" menu choice.
• There should be an icon or folder that says "WWW" or "Web Graphics" select this.
• There is a box labeled "Use compressed graphics." Make sure this box in UNCHECKED so compressed graphics are not used. This should solve the distorted image problem.
• It may not fix the images that already suffer the problem, but will stop any subsequent occurrences. Actually, the files will eventually fix themselves when the distorted images are cleared out of the disk cache and reloaded with clean ones.
• Using the "Reload" or "Refresh" button from the browser may help fix the distorted pictures after the above change has been made. Try it.

Display Resolution and Monitor Size:

Every attempt has been made to squeeze every page down to accommodate monitor sizes down to 14" (640 X 480 pixel display). But there are a few pages that contain many large images and text that are impossible to fit into this size display. These pages are very few and all the information can be seen in other ways and views, so nothing is lost to those with smaller monitors. But for the few instances we recommend a minimum of 832 X 624 pixel display area (most 15" and larger monitors, although some 14" monitors will display this resolution but the information may look VERY small). Also, many of the ornaments on this site are very colorful, along with some of the graphics too, so we recommend at least a 16bit (thousands of colors) color depth.

Fonts:

The pages on this site call for either COMIC SANS MS and/or HELVETICA. We recommend that you have one or both of these in your fonts folder. Once again, all attempts are made to make sure other standard fonts will function properly, but default fonts and sizes can vary from one computer to the next. If you do not have either of these fonts and the text seems strange in form or size, check your default font style and size in your web browser and adjust them as necessary for best results.

Java:

Java applets and scripts are not used in any way on this site currently. Too many inconsistencies between Netscape, Internet Explorer and AOL make it too unreliable and therefore not used here.

We're Not Perfekt!

We definitely make mistakes too! if something doesn't seem to look right, feel free to let us know. Once in a while we'll put up a page with a thumbnail graphic linked to the wrong picture or a link to another page that comes up with the dreaded "error 404 page or file not found." Let us know, we'll fix it, pretty quick sometimes too.

enjoy!
