I like the set-up. I can't see any of the pictures though but I'm sure you realize that. The worst thing about that site is that horrific team name. My favorite coach is Jeff Shiner because he had the good sense to don a Red Sox cap.

the pictures of the kids are very, very dark on my screen.

That is pretty cool. When I was in Little League, team communications consisted of the wife of the coach calling my mom on Friday night to remind her to bring drinks and treats the next day.

I noticed that you have a game against the Dodgers this weekend. The interesting thing is that the Riverton Minor Yankees would probably beat the actual Los Angeles Dodgers right now.

The baseball cards are a little dark, but the site looks great.

I'd take the emails off to avoid them getting picked up by spam crawlers. Or break them up when you spell them out.

Thanks for the feedback. We took our team photos last night and the pictures I had someone take had a really bad sun glare, so I tried to darken them. Sounds like I may have darkened them a bit too much. I'll have to mess with that today.

Thanks again.

I have had problems with the lighting of my photos since my old monitor died.

I just ordered this product to correct the situation. I'm sure your monitor is poorly calibrated.

Sorry. Didn't check the code first. Should have realized you'd have already protected from spam crawlers.

Actually, I appreciate the tip, I hadn't done anything. It must be a built in measure in Joomla. I'm way too lazy to actually type out that code.

Probably didn't help that I built the site on a laptop at 1 in the morning.
