Fair enough. Many of the bugs I show there I have reported... though the
COLA "advocates" still deny them.

Thank you. I do use screencasting quite a bit with the classes I teach, so I
have a fair amount of experience with doing so. Those videos were made, in
part, to get me back into the swing of things before I went into a "real"
project.

Fair enough. I have taken some programming classes years ago and do basic
scripting - enough to do thing like my recent script to allow me to go up a
directory in Safari by hitting Command+Up Arrow, but I am by no means a
programmer. The whole script is maybe 20-30 lines long and, I am sure, could
be made shorter (and more clear) by someone who really knew what they were
doing. That is true of most of my "programs". I have a few exceptions, but I
think my biggest program (script, really) was 2000-3000 lines long of
AppleScript (hardly a "real" language) and was designed as a AIM room bot.
It worked pretty darn well as a psuedo-Turing machine... people in chat
rooms would think it was human (if a bit odd) for hours at a time.

It has its flaws... as I said, anyone using a blocker will not be counted. I
use it for basic stats such as what browsers are common and the like -
mostly to see the low end people use. People using the low end in terms of
screen resolution and browsers are not likely to use blockers so it serves
my needs well.

I do not worry too much about hits... even with my real sites, there are
other things I care about more (which pages are being viewed, how many calls
I get, how much work I get, etc.).

By default the server should show the index.html file but no doubt
technically, yes, I should include the /.

I can set Safari to not show text smaller than a size I select (that is
available in its preferences) but that would not make fonts bigger than that
increase. If I wanted all text to be bigger I could do that with a CSS file.
As it is I have one now that I add the right scroll bar to all pages (I have
a pet peeve about centered sites jumping back and forth when they are or are
not taller than the browser window - this fixes that) and it overrides
Google News's stupid behavior to *not* show you visited links.
I could, of course, also set the resolution to be lower making everything on
the screen bigger (I have done that for sight impaired people).

I think just about any browser lets you define a user style sheet... and
doing it that way seems to give more control and to my mind is more straight
forward.

Doing it with CSS you could also set the font-face. Here, I just added this
to my CSS file:
* {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
font-style: bold;
font-size: 30px;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 0px rgba(126,255,59,0.75);
color: #EE0EF2;
}
And to me your page looks like this:
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/AmazingFont.png>
I am now going to put it back to how it was before my eyes burn out of my
head.
