TEST POST

CS.Com-DaveBilly.jpg

OK Guys. So apart from the TV page (which will be a little while as the drive with all my video is down!!) this blog is pretty much as I want it for now. A little Flash here and there when we get time, but nothing major. SO - I want everyone to comment on this post as to what works and what doesnt for them. Can you now read all the text? Can you find the hidden links in the Gallery and Radio pages? Is the site centered on your screen? Any other weirdness going on? It all looks fine on my Macs but I have no idea about PC's. Your input is greatly appreciated. Enjoy the music and the pictures, and keep an eye out for the TV page in a few weeks. Moving forward, we now start to redo the Freddy site. Its a never ending job, but a lot of fun. Thank you again to the inexhaustible patience of Allison, and thank you all for bearing with me. Now - how does it all seem to you guys .......?

Peace

Billy

I still can't see the text, I highlighted it to read. Maybe it's just me?

Posted by: amy at October 2, 2005 04:34 PM

I'm still getting the black text/background, too.

Posted by: Caffeinated Sue at October 2, 2005 04:38 PM

hey billy, like above, I can't ready any of the text unless I highlight it and everything is centered on the pages. Nothing is nice and neat in tables, the links are first then recent entries, then your posts, all centred. That's on my pc anyway. ;)

Hey Billy, i still can't read to test but i'm on a PC. From what i can see though, it looks great. Also got every sorted out with the pledge and shirt, thanks for you help. I owe you one.

As for shitty phones, check this one out. Dont even consider buying one - i have the same problem as you where people can hear you but you hear no one. Here's the link:

Thanx to my new best friend Nancy, I now know the secret handshake to be able to read this blog!
(the old left click drag)
If I don't do that, I just see the pics, links, blog entry headers & poster's names.
Everything else is black.
As for hidden links...I can't even find the galley & radio pages, let alone any secret links!
All script is centred in the middle of the page.
If there is anything else to comment on, just assume I can't see it.
I have a PC.
My puter skills could use some work.
Hope this is helpful to you! lol
Cheers!

Just wanted to add how great it was to go to your show Billy & hang out with such an awesome bunch of people!
You have some really cool fans/admirers/hepcats who like your style....whatever the label is! lol
Sorry to have missed you Wendy - we were probably only about 6 people away from each other!

Posted by: laurie tuttle at October 2, 2005 05:59 PM

I am getting pretty much the same thing here too.

Posted by: Julianna at October 2, 2005 06:38 PM

yeah same here - have to highlight everything to read it, everything's centered, etc etc. and i, too, am on a pc. maybe i'll check it out on the macs at school tomorrow to see the blog in it's full glory.

Posted by: acacia at October 2, 2005 06:56 PM

Good evening Billy. Here's my take.

Everything is centered on the page, probably not where you want to go with this. I used to be able to do a 'select all' to see everything, now it's a drag and highlight.

I'm on a Search and Discover mission on the rest of the site.... inch by inch, pixel by pixel, we'll get there!

Posted by: Kate at October 2, 2005 08:08 PM

Ok... found the links on the flash site and the gallery site, clicking them pulled up a page, but no pics or flash. Nothing came up on the radio link but that might be my lousy dial up connection.

We're getting there!

Posted by: Kate at October 2, 2005 08:15 PM

Billy, I know that you like Nike Dunks and I was just curious if you ever heard of Bathing Apes and what you thought of them.

Thanks, Jim

Posted by: Jim at October 2, 2005 09:27 PM

hey billy im getting everything fine its awsome. i like the radio page thats pretty awsome love thos songs!!. but the choose you destination part of the site you have to sorda search around for everything. but cant wait to see Morrison tv! alright thanks Billy

Hiya! Odd, I'm on a MAC and the text and background are both black, so I also have to highlight to read any of it, text is centered. I think I'm having the same problems as others have already posted. :S
I'm going to try a different browser. I'm using Firefox right now. It may be that. Lisa xxxx

Posted by: ylais at October 2, 2005 11:04 PM

Lisa again! :D I'm now on Netscape browser, and same thing. But I changed my prefs to use my own colour text and background; so now I can read and see it all much better.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like though! I'm getting the following, which it seems a few others are getting~

Anyway: the day's pic(s) are to the extreme left of the page, and the text is right up next to the pic, but centered, and goes from extreme right to extreme left.
The links are at at the very top of page and centered; recent entries are under that and centered. Then come the main posts with comments links under each entry; then under the last blog entry, to the very left, is the calendar.
Then in middle centered are the media links; then a search; then archives are same style under that.

It has to be a browser thing right!? Trying out some others.

Front page links to camp freddy, etc come up now for me.

Posted by: ylais at October 2, 2005 11:35 PM

I'm still getting black text and pix all the way to the left of the page =( But all of the titles and such seem to be centered, and I fnally found the radio and I love it!! I could listen all day Thank you Billy and keep up the good work. I can't believe you're learning all this so fast!

Posted by: Abby at October 2, 2005 11:42 PM

YEAH! It works on Safari! :D

Posted by: ylais at October 2, 2005 11:53 PM

I love the radio, and the way the pics are set up!!!

Posted by: ylais at October 2, 2005 11:58 PM

Still have to highlight to read the body text. Text is generally all centered, doesn't matter which browser I use. The site is probably full of nice content, but it's so miserable to try to read the entries that I don't spend any time checking it out.

Posted by: Marie at October 3, 2005 01:00 AM

hey billy im on my 'great' PDA and it looks fantastic, much better than the PC. i spose this heap o' shit is good for at least one thing now...

Posted by: Simon at October 3, 2005 03:58 AM

Oooh one of my pics in the gallery! cool =) I can finally see the text! Everything is aligned to the left...if that's how its supposed to be then it looks perfect!

Posted by: Abby at October 3, 2005 04:17 AM

Works in Safari perfect.
Does not work in Firefox.
I really like it,

Posted by: DaveC at October 3, 2005 05:09 AM

Its coming along, tho it would look alot better in colums with links on either side of the main body... the radio links are a bit tedious

if you need any help just ask!

Will

Posted by: Will / willd at October 3, 2005 07:52 AM

I feel like the boy in The Emperor's New Clothes...I just don't see it, I have tried on three computers, but I know I lack the technology that all the other Morrisonites have, no Apple, no Mac, what's Safari, all I have is generic computers at work and home, but, don't fear, where there is a will, there is a way, and I don't mind highlighting text, and clicking my mouse maniacally...

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Posted by: jezebel at October 3, 2005 08:11 AM

Everything seems to work for me except the comments, which have to be highlighted to read.

Posted by: Jim at October 3, 2005 09:54 AM

Victory on page 1!!!!
I can now see links etc but when I click on comments, it's black 'cept for names. Still have to highlight to read what all you peeps have to say.
I'm now off to explore the rest of the site I can see...yipppeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Posted by: laurie tuttle at October 3, 2005 09:54 AM

I came to the blog today wondered what happened? There is no banner, all the links are centered and all the font style has changed to Times New Roman. For a minute I thought you lost all the posts, until I highlighted them with my cursor. For me all the text is black with a black background, the only thing I can see are links. Sorry, if someone else posted this... ;-)

Posted by: Karen at October 3, 2005 10:43 AM

ROFL!!!!
OK, so I just pop back in to listen to the radio &.....it's all gone again!!!!
No front page/links etc & the blog is back in black!
A new twist is no pics & all comments (when I highlight) are now starting from the left hand side.
Is it helping to tell you this or do you already know?

Posted by: laurie tuttle at October 3, 2005 11:42 AM

A little AC/DC.. Back in Black! LOL!

Ah, s'ok. But is the Phone up and running yet Billy?

Posted by: Kate at October 3, 2005 12:13 PM

Have to highlight to read....

Posted by: Junebug at October 3, 2005 12:25 PM

i can't read the text either. have to highlight.

i am running netscape rather than IE, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Posted by: Six7Six7 at October 3, 2005 01:35 PM

billy
im on a PC
so heres my 2 cents on the matter

~ gotta highlight the posts to read them
~ the pictures and text all sit to the far left, as well as when in full screen mode....I didnt read any of the previous posts, so this could just be more of the same info......peace.

Posted by: skot at October 3, 2005 01:51 PM

I have IE, Netscape, and Firefox, and in all three browsers the blog looks the same. Everything is left aligned, and the comments pages still have black text on black background. I can read everything on the main page now... :-) Hope this helps...

Posted by: Karen at October 3, 2005 02:04 PM

Hiya Billy! Hi everyone. All these comments on what the page looks like!!!! (oh my)

If you can't see the blog page properly, try using a different browser. You can download browsers from the net, which is very quick if you're on broadband.

How about the ppl who can see the page fine, let us know what browser they are using?

Posted by: ylais at October 3, 2005 02:11 PM

i could see everything fine befor but now i cant see shit. hahaha well just letting you know. see ya

Posted by: Alec from camp teddy at October 3, 2005 04:06 PM

I could see everything fine this morning.Now it is all fade to black again. Have to highlight to read.
Thanks for the pics from the show they are great!

Posted by: Terri at October 3, 2005 04:15 PM

i see white text (ariel?), black background, left justified. i can see your post, and the comments. found the photos (thanks for those cult pics, billy!) and the songs. viewing on a pc with internet explorer. no idea what version. does that help?

Posted by: linda at October 3, 2005 05:21 PM

Hey Billy, looks great now but still can't read the text in the main page. It does appear though when the comments are shown.

All the links are showing down the sides though. Starting to look even better from a PC running IE.

Posted by: Simon at October 3, 2005 06:13 PM

OK, now the text is showing in the main page but now all links are down the bottom instead of down the side...funny.

Posted by: Simon at October 3, 2005 06:14 PM

YAY! I think I'm finally seeing it pretty much how its meant to be seen. There is a white border all around though and the banner graphic is a little off-center. Looks like its oh so close though!

Posted by: Abby at October 3, 2005 07:28 PM

This is pretty funny reading all these comments: I can't see the posts, now I can't see YOUR posts! Maybe I'm weird but I find that to be hilarious.. Anyway, I can see YOUR posts and the comments, but not the Morrison Radio and all that...But I'm sure you already know that.

Posted by: amy at October 3, 2005 07:41 PM

Billy,

As of 10PM central time, I can see everything as it should be..

Good luck,
Jay

Posted by: Jay at October 3, 2005 08:00 PM

Yay I can see it all now!

Posted by: amy at October 3, 2005 08:30 PM

Wow, what a difference a day makes! Looks great, sounds great, easy to read. Love the radio and pics.

Posted by: beth at October 3, 2005 08:48 PM

you know, I have visited this site 5 or 6 times today, and every time, it's a little different, and BETTER, I can SEE ,I can SEE, I LOVE the pics,Billy, you are SUCH a stud muffin, especially with blue hair!! The radio, the links the artwork, Alison, you ARE the guru, the webzenmistress...

jezzi

Posted by: jezebel at October 3, 2005 08:56 PM

Alright! It's beautiful. Well done!

Hey billy, check this out:

It can be done with just about every single site by the looks of it.

Posted by: Simon at October 3, 2005 10:21 PM

Okay, can see the text now (11 pm West Coast time). Looks nice.

Posted by: Marie at October 3, 2005 11:03 PM

Agree with Jezzi, it now all looks the way i think you intend it you. Even if what i see isn't 100% what you want it to look like, it still looks great...

Posted by: Simon at October 3, 2005 11:03 PM

OK...nobody move...nobody breathe, blink or look away....IT'S PERFECT BILLY!!! :D

Now...on a non-site related note (and I'm thinking maybe you answered this before so I apologize if it's redundant) do you know what song(s) you played on for Tommy Lee's new cd??? I asked him....he said Dave played acoustic on "Good Times" and he could not remember what you played on! rofl

Anyway...just wondered if you knew.

Have a nice week, Billy!
