on it. Just go to:

http://www.truthtowel.com
and click on "election special"

I don't claim that this is a great, or all-inclusive, site. It is just my effort to try to get people to see what is going on in their country, since the news media, and now even the print press, is beginning to fall under the wing of the administration. So constructive feedback is appreciated, but please understand this site is a hobby and I am the only one who works on it, so it is a lot of work to keep perfect and all-informative. Thanks!

:wtf:

2. Thanks for the feedback. I added the link, but I'll leave the font
size as is. I hate big fonts, but you can always adjust the fonts on the browser, so I figured it wouldn't be too bad. If it is TOOOOO hard to read, I might change it. Thanks again.

3. hard to read
Looks nice and obviously you're putting a lot of work into it! Good show! :thumbsup:

Remember, though, that you want things to be extra-easy to read when you're on the Internet.

Some suggestions:

1. Try changing from Times Roman to a sans serif font like Arial or Verdana.

2. In the main menu box to the left, try darkening the font because it's hard to read against the orange background of the menu box.

Actually, judging from your other pages, that orange font is hard to see anywhere.... Try black or dark blue maybe?

3. The "ruth" and "owel" stand out more than the T's in the logo, btw.

4. I caught a type on your Mission Statement page, with "pseudo".

And the paragraphs need to be shorter. Think attention span of an 8th grader raised on sugar and Nintendo. Your website may be intended for more educated readers but imagine these folks after a hard day of work, with their brains all jangled up with other thoughts....

Otherwise I like the clean simplicity of it all. Maybe one or two little graphics might help direct the eyes to important points, though.

Question: How'd you come up with the name Truth Towel? Is it a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide or...?

Cheers!
