Keeping photos small in both actual and file size also provides a fairly reasonable guard against unfair use. If someone wants to make a copy of an image for their personal reference use they easily can do so, and copying several images will not require much hard drive space. However, if someone copies an image file and tries to enlarge it, the image literally comes apart. If a person really wants to use one of my images for a legitimate purpose they can contact me and we can work out an arrangement that will give them a file in a usable size and provide some form of reasonable compensation to me. I wanted my site to have a Southwestern or Santa Fe feeling.
Nothing is more in keeping with that ambiance than a nice tan stucco.
Tan is a restful color and I like the textured look of the page. Font Display I like a font that is easy to read. The lettering on this page is an Comic San MS font in 14-point bold. Miscellaneous Stuff Internal links are important and I provide hyperlinks to the top of every page, and to the Home Page and Table of Content Page. I also provide additional dynamic links to other pages in a series and to other relevant pages in the site.
