Wired Pages is Moving...

Well after careful consideration I have decided to move my news service -- Wired Pages, from my AOL account to my business domain [qisoftware.com]. The primary reason why I have not done this before now -- bandwidth issues on my business domain, however I am coming nowhere near my monthly allotment.

I have also decided that Wired Pages will have the the new look recently deployed on the main "QiSoftware" site, however the color scheme will be a little different. Wired Pages is currently maintained with MS Publisher. I will miss the convenience of this software package -- however some of the constraints that Publisher placed on style issues have caused problems with several non-Windows browsers. I hope to alleviate most of these problems. What will I be using instead... Text Editors (i.e., vi, notepad, TextEdit...).

One other area that has caused problems -- I use a lot of Java applets on the site. This is a problem for recently released browsers for the Mac platform. Mac Internet Explorer and Safari don't seem to have problems. Mac versions of -- Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla, and Opera tend to have "skidding" problems with the applets. I am still looking at ways to correct this issue. Why use applets...? On the fly updates without refreshing the entire page. Developers of these [Mac] browsers are also working the issue. [Initial (Beta) releases of Firefox for the Mac, were painful for my applets.]

Anyway, this move will take a little time -- as I am not in any hurry and want to take time with the layout of each page. I also have other projects in the works.

I wanted to give notice and get any feedback you may wish to provide. I will probably post on this subject as the project evolves.
