    I finally got around to updating my website and adding some new content. The Genetics page is the biggest addition. Still a work in progress and plan to add alot more information to it but here it is.

    I would like people to check it out and give me their opinions.
    Thanks for looking.

    Played around with it some more and made the window a little bigger. I had in mind about the size when considering that not everyone has a wide screen yet and I didnt want them to need a slider bar across the bottom of the Web Browser.

    Something on the page is slowing my computer down... maybe the animated DNA strand?

    Maybe the animation is a .GIF that is 1 MB in size.
    I was thinking of switching it to a still shot which I could make a fraction of the size.

    Why is the text in a box at all? On my large display I'd normally be able to see all the text on a page at once, so a tiny box with its own scroll bar on a mostly-blank screen greatly reduces readability.

    I'm not seeing any significant cpu use from your page, so that problem may be Rapture's PC.

    I like it but I agree with Jeff, having it in a text box makes it kind of a pain to view. The info is very well put together though. Thanks!

    Jeff I made a second test page http://jamillsreptiles.com/test.htm Take a look at it and tell me if you can view it better this way.

    As for the " Super I already had an explination of the Term "Super" following the first use of it. I believe I am going to leave use of Super alone because it is so widely used in the hobby and very rarely do you hear someone use the term "Homozygous Pastel" and it could cause confusion for some. Though I do know that the correct term would be "Homozygous Pastel" and the term "Super" is not. So to please those hardcore people out there that agree with the use of "Homozygous Pastel"
    I added "(Homozygous)" after each use of "Super" in the text. Maybe someone will learn something new from seeing it stated that way.

    Again thank you all for your comments and opinions. Please keep them coming. I would like to make it as user friendly, Informative, and visually appealing as possible and your insight will help.
    Thanks
