I've decided that since I now have a job and can afford paid hosting I'm going to expand my website. I bought my host's biggest plan (8 gigs of space and 65 gigs of bandwidth) and will buy a .com domain name for my new site. My old one for texas will remain the same as a part of the new one but the new one will also have information on all of the Gulf Coast's lighthouses from LA-FL (Like I said, my TX lights page will remain). Now having a job gives me the money to do this but not the time so it'll be a while. Anyway, here's the banner for the new site, let me know what you think color-wise.

Congratulations on all fronts, Zachary. I like the banner. One of the few I have seen that uses a fancy script font where it was made large enough to read. (All too often people want to use a fancy font but keep it in the same small size as their basic serif/sans serif font which makes it pretty much unreadable.) Good luck on your project, and we'll look forward to seeing the pages as they develop.

I too like the banner. Let me know if you need info on Cape St. George.

Zachary,
While your new web site looks beautiful, the light blue background with white print -- although used on many sites -- makes reading the information almost impossible for me. Whenever I come upon a site with that color combination, I immediately leave.
My tired old eyes can't handle it.

Bob, I'll probably make another version for dial-up users and those who have images turned off, I'll make it using an easier to read color scheme.

Very nice, but like Bob, I too have a difficult time with that color combo reading the small print. Looking forward to your change and best of luck.
