You should enable ClearType... it'll smooth the edginess of the text... I notice everything for a reason

I don't use Photoshop. I use GIMP.

ClearType isn't a Photoshop thing

the problem is the appeal in that picture. The yellow is clashing with the red and gray imo....

I like the way it looks during severe weather mode.

I've come up with a temporary workaround.... if the PHP code I've made detects you're using IE, it'll throw up 6 links up in the navbar, with one of them taking you to a sitemap page to get you to where you need to go. Firefox doesn't need this workaround, thus it won't be touched. I have to really think hard to fix this, and it won't be easy... when I'm done with the site, I'll email a ZIP with this temporary workaround.

Progress can be found here: http://jtmal.duffplace.com

I would have to figure out how I'm going to do this whole nav thing for IE because the menu system doesn't work for it at all... The workarounds aren't working either, so I'm going to have to resort to PHPifying something to hide the menu system for IE browsers and showing it for other browsers. This would mean for IE users, I would have to make a list on the main page. I just don't know how I'm gonna fix this. This is the only thing stopping me.

Hmmm...I wish I knew how to help...but that's just about beyond the scope of my knowledge. My PHP knowledge is pretty basic at best.

I'm keeping that in my mind while I PHPize the design so you can add pages as simple as possible.

Also, we still need to hold that contest for the new slogan for TWC Today, which hasn't been done yet.

So...I was just watching the local news and the weatherman says we may see our first major snowstorm of the year this coming weekend. He says a storm may develop in the Gulf and come up the east coast.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this! 

cue the Storm Alert on The Weather Channel!

all TWC has to really do is upload a new TWC logo, that's pretty much it. No coding changes whatsoever, so crawls, LDL, weatherscan, etc... simple change. I don't know if the XL, 4000, or the Satellite was updated.

Before making a final checkout, search online for some coupon codes. One guy I helped get a laptop, there was a 20% off coupon available that expired Oct 31 and he thanked me for it...

Weird thing last night, during SNL during a commericial it switched to the national feed of weather plus for about 20 seconds, then came back to the show.  Our NBC affiliate never had weather plus so I wonder if it was NBC's feed.

I did not see that happen for my affiliate (WCAU NBC10)
