If you move your mouse pointer across the header (top of the page) you will see that it changes indicating the embedded links contained within the graphics.
The left and right Piasa Bird Icons if clicked on will take you respectively to the Democratic and Republican web sites. The Missouri and Illinois flags will take you to their State web sites and the forum logo will take you to the U.S. Government web site.

From these 5 links you can find out exactly what your Government and your Elected official are doing, you can check on bills, News, Voting records, you can also E-Mail your Elected Representatives and find detailed information about State and Federal programs or Organizations.

This is very good to know, although no sign of these links as I pass my cursor over the icons. Shouldn't they tell me that there are links here? Question

This is largely dependent on your particular system and how much indication you desire!

My system uses a standard arrow pointer which changes to a hand/w pointing finger when it rolls over a link indicating that it is a link.

This is all the indication I need, but I can see where it might be nice to have the image change say to a state seal or a U.S. flag indicating more clearly what the link is rather than just relying on memory.

We have tentative plans for more links and will see if we can accommodate your wishes in the process.

If you or others have any idea what you would like the images to change to we will see if we can do it, I am not even certain that
I will be able to do it, but I'll try

Admin,

I do not need for the image to change. There just is NO indication whatsoever that there is a link connected to the image. Usually writing will appear to announce that this is a link to something more, but that does not happen on any of the header images, although I do now realize that they are all links to other pages.

We have made some progress in redoing the mouse overs in the header. they still are not right as they have some flicker if you are not positioned right.

We are working on getting the images resized to eliminate that problem. So let Admin or I know what you think of it?

That is wonderful. It works so much better when the picture changes when you point at it. It helps to make it stand out better when you are looking around the site. There are a lot more dummies out there like me that would not have realized that there were links in the top of the page, but now there will be no question of that fact. Great job!! Smile

Thank you, its very kind of you, one of the other team members out in Oklahoma was able to get the images resized quickly and I forgot to update the message about the flicker being corrected, but I am glad you approve of them.

While I am here what are your thoughts on adding more news links at the top of the page?

I am working on a change that will add another 16 news sites, which will include at least one for sports that lists school games, and at least one of the current news links (news gazette) I am considering dropping from the list and replacing with another.

I would appreciate any thought you or others might have in that regards.

Witch will get you if you don't watch out!!
