I am the webmaster of only one site at this time.
http://www.omahaquiltersguild.org

I work a regular job during the day and this site - which just topped 300MB in size - is a hobby and a service to my organization. I have several different Coffee Cup products because they are easy to use and don't requiring any coding knowledge. I'm trying to tell you, I don't know alot about web sites.

Yesterday, I downloaded the new calendar program because it was just what I needed. Other than the pesky IE problem you refered to in earlier posts, I didn't have any trouble using all it's features. I had purchased it and posted it to the website by late afternoon.

This morning, when I went to the site, I received a message from my McAfee firewall saying "http://www.OmahaQuiltersGuild.org wants to place a cookie on your computer, is that okay?" or words to that effect.

Now, I am alarmed. The only software change I've made in the past couple of weeks has been the new Coffee Cup Calendar. Is it responsible for this?

The cookie is obviously there so that it will remember the dates you have entered into the calendar. In the same way that your online bank remembers your details, Ebay welcomes you back and message boards keep your log-in info whenever you visit.

Not all cookies are malicious, most have a job to do.

Your site looks great, and I like the way that you have intergrated the calendar into the site design.

Philip is right about that cookie issue, cookies are good things, and do an important job. However, perhaps th eprogramme should have had a warning about it before you uploaded, just so you knew. I will suggest that for the next release.

You do have one major problem Roberta. The navigation bar is showing twice on all your pages except for the index page.

Reason below:


You have called the nav bar twice. You need to do a find and replace through all your pages to get rid of one of them.

Thank you for your responses. Yes, you read so much about being invaded by malicious cookies, Ihad forgotten that they can be a good thing too. If anyone from our 400+ membership asks, now I'll have a good answer.

I see that I have called the NAV bar twice on some pages. 'Find & Replace'?? What a great idea! I hadn't thought of doing that. I'll take care of that corrected this evening. So many toys to play with and so little knowledge. It's a great way to unwind in the evenings. Thanks. Roberta
