| | | I don't know. It doesn't seem homey enough. It's not inviting to me. Too big.

| | It looks nice, less bland that the old one. The only problem is as mentioned by Ivan, its too big. It causes me to have to scroll to the right to see the rest of it. This could be because of the size it is on the test page or whatever though. 
Is it possible to download the MP3s rather than streaming on line via M3U?? It is very seldom that I am able to sit down at my computer to listen to anything, but I have an MP3 player that seldom leaves my side. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Sonoftheday For This Useful Post: | |

How much bigger is the banner than your screen? Do you have to scroll like another 1/4 page?
Here are two workarounds for downloading the mp3s for now. (Part of the redesign will be to add direct links to the mp3 files so that they can be downloaded).
For volumes 1 & 2 you can right click the m3u files and save them to your computer then open them with a text reader (such as "Notepad"), then you will see the direct path to the mp3 files.
For volumes 3-7 you can enter Index of /Edinburgh/vol3 into your browser and it will take you to the Index page for that volume where you can then right click and download the files. (Note: be sure to capatalize the "E" in Edinburgh and just change the number after "vol" to 3 - 7 to access the individual Index pages). Hope that all makes sense.  |

| | | Its actually less than a Quarter of a page that I have to scroll over. It could very well be the settings on this computer I know too little about this kind of thing.
Thanks for the advice on downloading, Im gonna try to download them today. |

| | James, it looks nice. The place where you have letters, if you'd prefer to work in a nice, earthy, grain background pick (as opposed to a solid color), I may have some different pics you could work in? It looks good as is, though!  | | The Following User Says Thank You to joshua For This Useful Post: | |

Can you give some examples of what would look like Edinburgh? I'm swinging in the dark here, as I've rarely been outside the State of Virginia and never outside the U.S., much less an exotic place such as Edinburgh. |

| | Speaking as an Edinburgh man the style of the picture more reflects Tudor England rather than Edinburgh. To have a web site under that title discussing Christianty how about a picture of John Knox's house such as http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_buildi..._-_harding.jpg
John Knox was a very affable character always willing to discuss Christainity especially with his neighbour Queen Mary who lived just further down the hill.

I.E. You don't have to be a theologian to discuss and benefit from the discussion of God's Word. And it is a takeoff on C. S. Lewis' book of the same title.
Do you think is has a negative or derogatory connotation?  |

A picture of Edinburgh castle would be good (or something along those lines).
