Scott and all:
I have observed the following;
The problem with accessing the Aitken website is not one with the site
itself but the human error in the incorrect posting of the URL. People
seem to want to manually retype the URL instead of copying and pasting.
Just copy and paste the URL into the web browser location box. Easier,
quicker and no chance of error.(at least on your part!) One small typo
in the URL and your web browser will not find the site.
Anyway, this is where the problem lies - not the website. Scott, your
original address was correct and I got to it no problem.

As far as the color is concerned; this depends on your monitor settings.
If you have your monitor brightness turned down it will show black as it
does on mine, a slight adjustment changes it to maroon as you intended.
It looks good to me with black background too... in fact it looks great!
