Yes, I'm Quality Computing. Yes, same basic coding. I don't need to
tell you that Project Management is my thing, not html. I am getting
somewhat better with time (www.minusforty.ca), but still have a
considerable way to go. Also, the quality standard is set by the
client - how much time (read money) they give me to spend on it. It's
been my experience that once they see it on their screen, that's all
they care. My clients visualize the page as being typed in Word. On
the other hand, it's partly me learning on the job so to speak, too.
I really enjoy the design and wording aspects, but I'm not a
programmer, and prefer to employ programmers for web development
projects.

Yes, hand coded if I understand what you mean. I use HomeSite, and
because I type fast, I generally type the code I remember or just
TopStyle Lite (in HomeSite) to pick options.

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'large empty *dark* blue box". This
website works in IE6, IE7 and pretty much in FireFox, has been for
several years, i.e. www.devitawellness.com works. Similarly, so does
www.energywellnessstudies.com. And the 'month of August'? Whatever
do you mean? It sounds like you're into the Tetigi software (the
webstats stuff) from the bottom of the pages. What browser do you
use?

Thanks for pointing me to the CSS validator. It will be useful
because I'm not sure about valid options at times. It's one thing
that makes me nuts. In HomeSite, when you right click a tag to edit
it and choose a StyleSheet style, you get TopStyle Lite. Then you
pick your styles (like font-style), but more often than not the styles
do nothing. It would be good if only the styles that are valid for
that tag will show in the list. I think I have to pick the right
thing from the Style Inspector drop down (I've got CSS2), but I'm not
sure hope that works. I just added that to my very long to do list.

Thanks again and sorry for being so green at this. Maybe I can help
you with project management sometime; I teach it.
