Have you thought about getting a QR code?

Thanks for replying, Linda.

No but would be interested in doing so. Can you point me to how to get one?

Also, any suggestions on my original question?

Thanks,
Murad.

There is not much you can do at this point since the template is fixed and I control the template. Even if you modify your content, it is contained in the template which you cannot directly modify. Per our Terms of Use, you own your content, but we own the template that makes the system function.

I will be doing some things in the future to make the template more responsive to varying screen widths, but it is just not that high on my priority list at this time. As I do this as a volunteer, I have to carefully manage where I put my limited spare time that I invest in developing the system.

With that in mind, what you should do moving forward (being proactive) is to make sure all images are sized in terms of percentages instead of fixed pixels. Also, you should make sure that all fonts are sized in terms of ems or percentages of normal font size. These are standard fluid design practices that most users do not follow. The image size approach is pretty easy, but the font size strategy is a bit more difficult, since the editor plugin forces you to use fixed pixel sizes for fonts.

Here is one site to create a QR code and you can color code it to whatever color you want. You can match the color up with a TI color, or/and your website color.

Thank you for getting back to me on the question, Steve.

Will be looking forward to a time when the site renders itself on smaller screens so we can encourage prospective members to check us out on their way home from work or any time they are waiting around in line anywhere!

Thanks again,
Murad.
