Flag Day is a good time to change over to our patriotic Stars and Stripes theme for the blog. The new theme will also be appropriate for the Fourth of July and the summer season, so it will probably be here until Labor Day or so. Enjoy the new look.
Incidentally, the flag image in the background was taken aboard the SS Lane Victory, a WWII Merchant Marine Vessel, still in operation out of San Pedro, Los Angeles Harbor.
Wow! I love the flag picture in the header (and the other parts are great too!). And also the way the title floats in etc. GREAT Theme!
How did you DO that?
Please let me know if you would be willing to explain it to me 🙂
Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments.
The header is a Flash® animation. Animations like this can be created using Adobe Flash tools. I use a product called SWiSH to generate animations for this site. It takes some practice and a little techno-whiz-knowhow but most anyone can create simple ones like our header.
