I don't use those add-ons in Firefox, but just for fun, I installed both Add-ons that you mention, so I could duplicate your scenario. Initially, the banner was unchanged, still visible, however, if I right clicked the banner and manually set it to be blocked, then it was gone. I also looked for a setting that would automatically block certain items and could not find it. I was able to go in and switch the block off, so the banner appeared as it should. I think using that type of add-on will give you some benefit but can also interfere unnecessarily. Thanks again for the info, keep in touch! Jim David, thanks for the info about adblock.

The opening header is AMAZING. It kept me mezmorized for a good 3 minutes. As one completely ignorant of tech. but knowing a little about consumer marketing tactics...KUDOS to you both. Great site! It's user friendly and still cram packed full the VALUABLE information we are all seeking. I will continue to put your name out there and good luck!

I think this is because you used the word 'banner' in the file name of the graphic, so it is assumed that it is an advertisement. Sorry, just letting you know.

The site is very clean and easy to navigate. I'm impressed. I'm sure everyone else really appreciates the hard work you two have put into this blog as well. Thanks! Jim and Mary,

I wouldn't mind a timestamp on the comments / posts, but you may have been intentional in leaving those out. Also, there is an alternate comment feature in WordPress you may be able to use to tint every odd comment to help bring a little more "separation" to each. I wouldn't make it drastic, just a couple of shades darker on every other one. Just a couple of thoughts, take 'em or leave 'em. :) And it is good to "hear" from you, Mary.

I certainly don't want the new header to look like a skull!! ;) Thanks, Clint...I still owe you a couple of templates . Antonine, as I work on tweaking the stray pieces of code I'll see if I can't put some navigation down at the bottom of the page. Granted, you'll have to scroll, but it's the quick 'n dirty way of taking care of no nav for ya. I think the problem is the cool script.aculo.us js shelf up there is covering the header and the navigation on hand-helds (anyway, that's the way it looked on my phone).

I like that the green was kept. Granted, now I am looking at it on a computer monitor and not my Treo, but it looks good on both. The only issue that I'd have is that there is no way to quickly get to the content of the page when using the mobile. That's a minor thing for most though as I think I am way too wanting of sites to be mobile-friendly. Now, Jim and Mary, if you two can keep me in prayer for a wife that would clean me up this well, that would be great :-D Very nice. I like that the green was kept.
