How Does It Look to You

Statistics on the number of visits to our class website show that about 1 out of 3 visitors are not using the resolution setting on their monitor that provides optimal viewing of the website. If you aren't sure what that means let me explain it this way - you may not be seeing the website in the way it is designed to look. For example, check the "Fair Park High Class of 1961" black and gold banner at the top of each web page. If the banner doesn't extend to both edges of your monitor screen then your resolution setting is not optimal for the website. If the banner already extends to both edges of your screen then your resolution setting is optimal.

For optimal viewing the resolution setting needs to be on the 800 x 600 lines setting. If you aren't sure how to do that, or if you prefer not to change your resolution setting, the following tip may help. However, it may not work unless you are using the Windows XP operating system and IE 7 as your browser. Open the website to any web page displaying the banner mentioned in the paragraph above and then press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard. Then press the + key on your keyboard as many times as needed to make the banner fill the screen from left to right. If you go too far, you can back up. Just press and hold the Ctrl key and then press the - key. Repeat this process as often as needed for any page you visit.

This process does not change your resolution setting. And you can use it on any web page of any website that you think might need it. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
