As some of you have noticed, a few minor CSS design changes were implemented on the site... the table was expanded to 948 pixels, to accommodate the typical resolution of screens nowadays, which is 1024x768. With this change, I upped the font size a bit. You'll notice the menu system is in all caps now, and it was a design change I decided to go with since increasing the font size made the text bold for some reason when in title case, and small caps just looks very odd on the menu, so I went with all caps (yet it's technically all lowercase  :thumbsup:)... Not sure if anything else will get changed, but I hope everyone enjoys it! I do! Now I'm going to bed, lol. ^_^

Keep up the good work Jesskitty! Hope you rested enough as well.  :happy:

The widening of the table on the main TWCT site was definitely needed.  I have a 1440x900 resolution on my screen, and it looks much better now with your changes.  Thanks, Jesse! B)

I'm really liking all these changes! :D One suggestion, if possible, is to make the font size on the pages a bit bigger. :yes:

WC with Jim and Alexander should really be formally named "Weather Center with Cantore and Steele." :yes:

Good logo, too! :D Nice change from the plain WC one.
