Time zones are a bit off, I'm in Central Standard, but it going by the time it says I'm in Eastern.

BTW, love the look of the site, haven't played with all the features yet, though.

Whoaaaaa. What alternate universe is this? I likey.

The main site looks fantastic team Italia!

And is it just me or does anyone feel there is not enough fanfare for Kellie's Flag story/article/legend? I was SOBBING by the time I was done reading it! Beautiful work, Kel! OKay, I gotta go wash my face now. I'm a mess.

Yeah, more props to DM for the fantastic flag article. Woooooooo!!!!! Is it me, or does the whole flag epic tale become more surreal the further time flies away from the Tourzilla's close? I find myself looking back and wondering if it was all dream when I think of the flag's tales. All the twists and turns during the flag's Herculean journey across the globe would definitely rank in the "truth is stranger than fiction" category. Thanks, Kel!!!!!

I like it! The home page is really cool! Dramatic yet not over produced.

I feel like a kid with a new toy. I haven't read the entire flag story yet. I know it will be excellent! (BTW I agree with how you handled that tricky punctuation, Kel.)

I think the font color I'm using right now--whatever you've got set as the default--could be a little darker. On my monitor at work and at home on the laptop, it feels like it's not quite dark enough.
Not that it should be bold but just a darker black. This seems more gray than black.

I agree with the suggestions to put avatars on the left side.

I like that the avatars are all the same size. I know sometimes it can't be helped but it is hard to read when all of a sudden the avatars are THIS WIDE and the text is squished into the side. :)

The smileys are not all working right now :) some of them are showing up as the characters you type rather than the actual smiley faces.

Kellie's flag story is wonderful. It explains so well the spirit and allure of a piece of cloth that formed a tight knit community out of a global group of strangers. The piece is very touching without one iota of sappiness. Bravo, my dear.

Strangely I'm in Eastern, and my clock has me somewhere over the Pacific ocean, minus half an hour.


Thanks for the kind words on the article, everyone. I appreciate it, and I'm relieved to hear that you guys liked it. Like I said, having the full set of photos there is really going to make the page.

Haha. That would be the Stewart quote.

Also a relief to hear. Thank you.
