Team ArisHost gets set for 2002's second half
With the first half of 2002 nearly over, ArisHost officials have promised to make the next six months even better for the company's clients. During the past few months, ArisHost has introduced a number of programs, features and promotions designed to improve customer experience and provide them with first-class services.
Worth noting is the ArisHost ISP Reseller program--probably the first of its kind from an enhanced domain registrar. There's also the Webalizer, Unlimited File Backup/Restoration service, POP DNS and the most recent feature, the ArisHost Webmail.
AH! caught up with a company official and she had this to say, "We really are very pleased to have done considerably well early this year, I say that in terms of providing our clients high-quality services. Now we're looking forward to giving them even more in the coming months."
There are a number of projects already in the final stages of development, so be sure to watch out for product launch announcements here at AH!

That's the style!
Surprisingly, it was only recently year that browsers became compliant to standards that make Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) usable. Before this development, CSS-though touted to eliminate browser-specific markups-has not been viewing correctly in certain browsers since it was developed back in 1996. CSS support has been a bane for those using non-CSS enhanced browsers. For these browsers, style tags are ignored while still displaying their content. The outcome is then a splotchy website with text content where there shouldn't be. Web designers have learned to go around this problem by enclosing their style tags within HTML comment tags. Still, skirting the problem has not offered much of a solution.
With the present standard compliancy, there's a greater chance that most browsers will view CSS formatted websites correctly. But then, these CSS-enhanced browsers continue to be limited by varied bugs. One might ask if it's even efficient to use CSS. Bugs include ignoring text-align and body-width commands in Internet Explorers of Windows 95 and NT, and the loss of style after using tables in Netscape Navigators for both Windows and Macs. Most CSS users would again advice going around these glitches-but is it worth the bother?
The advantage with CSS is that it eases formatting for multi-paged sites, and helps foster layout consistency. A lot of expert designers would attest to these, and just brush off browser flaws as minor considerations. In the end, it is them who decide if CSS is to their benefit and if they are willing lose a fraction of the Internet audience in favor of ease in style format.

A number of online tutorial sites have called htmlhelp.com as one of the best resources on Cascading Style Sheets. We found ourselves agreeing when we visited the site, with its no-nonsense layout and topics; and, of course, in depth discussions on the basics and techniques in CSS. Their HTML tutorial is also one of the best and most comprehensive we've seen online. Instructions are simple and easy to follow, and there are even examples to help illustrate lessons.

From the Web... a collection of material actually posted on various church bulletins:
Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles, and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.
The Ladies Bible Study will be held Thursday morning at 10. All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B.S. is done.
22 members were present at the church meeting held at the home of Mrs. Marsha Crutchfield last evening. Mrs. Crutchfield and Mrs. Rankin sang a duet, The Lord Knows Why.
The Pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday morning.

Don't let worry kill you off - let the church help.
