please dont think i am ignoring you or take my not replying as anything bad.
I do thank you and i am sure i will have some questions when i get up to
this point. but i do thank you in a way for helping me look into the future
for the things I will need to do.
the only thing I have now that I will probably be using in the end is
dreamweaver 8 - however by the time i am done will i really need it. i did
learn that a great way to make web pages is using tables and have already
made a few.
