    Hi Doug,
     
    I just doug out my Collins English dictionary as my Oxford mini English
    dictionary/thesaurus and my websters reference library didn't even entry
    'Gothic'. Apparently it means to type "using a heavy ornate typeface",
    ornate meaning highly decorated. Maybe you could index all the super ornate
    typefaces and label them Gothic. I know what you mean about sans though as
    I have 'Franklin Gothic Medium' and 'Letter Gothic Standard' opentype on my
    machine and they are sans but probably more ornate than the the regular
    typefaces of 'Letter' and 'Franklin'.
     
    Hope this helps some more and I didn't waste too much of your time when I
    hit the bottle and started waffling.
     
    Regards, Stuart.

    I don't know what Gothic means in script, but in typography it is
    sans-serif.
     
    Yeah, in hand written script, it is very complex, like the old german
    style, Black Letter.
     
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackletter
     
    But in Typography it is sans, means the same thing. Confusing, I know. To
    complicate matters, Copperplate is said to be a gothic style font, but it
    isn't, it has glyphs that accentuate the abrupt stops in the ends of the
    letters, but those embellishments are the same flourishing that Roman
    style, or serif fonts are.
     
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif
     
    When looking at the above link, Gothic seems to be out-modded?
     
    But look at the write-up on Franklyn Gothic...
     
    "Gothic" is an increasingly archaic term meaning sans-serif.
     
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Gothic
     
    OK, so you have a point. Which brings me back to...
     
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copperplate_Gothic
     
    While termed a "Gothic" (another term for sans-serif), the face has small
    glyphic serifs that act to emphasize the blunt terminus of vertical and
    horizontal strokes.
     
    So it just goes to show that I shouldn't get my info from Wikipedia. :P
     
    I still have to figure it out, but I can't just use "Gothic/sans-serif" as
    a category. That much seems sure.
     
    I wonder if Roman/serif would work? Probably not.
     
    Art. Why should we classify it? To make it easier to find. LOL

    Here's another question... my SSL certificate works both with domain.com
    and www.domain.com, but GeoTrust only validates the certificate (with that
    little "live" GIF) if a page from www.domain.com requests validation. I
    think this is because when I registered for the cert, I entered
    www.domain.com as the domain.
     
    I've seen a couple pages on how to use IIS to force browsers from
    domain.com to www.domain.com.
     
    Anyone have any experience with this?
     
    Thanks!
     
    Seth

    I probably should have clarified.
     
    *.domain.com is covered by the cert, but for some reason the validation
    graphic that you can add to your site only works when it's with
    www.domain.com. It is kind of strange, yes. Maybe I should ask Geotrust
    about it.
     
    As for htaccess, I've never really used that, but it would make things a
    heck of a lot easier if I could just put entries in there for SSL, rather
    than using the ASP code.
     
    I don't want the whole site to be SSL, but only certain pages.
     
    Thanks for the help. Anyone else?
     
    Seth
