Hi Travis
I'm sure we have communicated on this site before.
About the topic in hand I am sure you are correct, but I came to my current
website design, via the bellringers' sub-site, after trial and error, and,
although it's not perfect I do like the way it works.
I have listened and watched here and Googled and searched at length, but I
can find no way to replicate the site (well no way that I can cope with)
that produces a result that suits me.
Of course I can use photo gallery software or even Frontpage, but I feel the
need to understand what I am doing and would rather have a validatable site
than not.
Sigh.
