The T. R. M. P.'s experiment with fancy graphics has concluded. They have been removed from our pages because they slowed the downloading times too much. Gone also are the Java class hover buttons from the left-hand menu bar. These also slowed things down too much, plus there were very frequent problems with them. Now we'll use only regular text links, surrounded by shaded boxes.
All websites have to compromise between aesthetics and information.
Webmasters want to publish pages that look good, but often forget that graphics can get in the way. So the Theban Royal Mummy Project website will have a more austere look from now on, and perhaps this is appropriate to its subject matter. It's easy for me to get caught up in research and forget that websites also need to be visually pleasing. Consequently, I decided to experiment and add a background to the pages. Two new gifs. were also added to the left-hand menu bar.
