The computers designed to read for the visually impaired have limited options and we have tried to accommodate them. It is not my favorite color scheme either but it does meet the needs of a segment of our membership.</div><div><br></div><div>Norman Cantrell, Vice President<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 3/4/13, John Formsma <i><formsma@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: John Formsma <formsma@gmail.com><br>Subject: [pianotech] Website for www.ptg.org is ugly<br>To: "Pianotech List" <pianotech@ptg.org><br>Date: Monday, March 4, 2013, 11:25 AM<br><br><div id="yiv1617316736"><div dir="ltr"><div

<span style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, the subject line pretty much says how I see it.</span><br style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The opening page for how the world sees PTG does not look attractive or professional. (In my opinion, of course.) Even the opening page for the "Master Piano Technicians" looks better. That brown color just doesn't do anything for us--YUCK!</span><br style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

Since the web page has the HL look, I assume the reason the page appears this way is that it's connected to the HL backbone.</span><br style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

What we have is not that. It's so dull and uninviting. </span><br style="font-size:13px;line-height:15px;text-align:left;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
