I see where you're coming from, Steve. I did read your first post,
but I thought that what I was doing was a little different. However,
I realize now a little better what you were trying to say and I'm
going to do it your way. It will probably be a little easier that way
and I'll have a little more freedom. I'll just define the name of the
title before I include head.php--makes perfect sense! Sometimes I
guess I make it a little harder than it needs to be... ;)
Thanks again!
p.s. - It's moot--not mute.
