Thanks Brian.
Peter, I already replied to you in an email, but I thought it appropriate to address you in "public"about the help you have been. you sent me the homepage index file with changes you felt made it stronger, and by my installing it and viewing those changes really helped me to understand, at the very least, how you went about designing it. I may not have agreed completely with your idea for the layout, but there are elements to the design that i feel i will include in my next tweaking. Also, by seeing how you did what you did, I will go at it differently than before.
thanks again, for your time and generosity of your knowledge.
Chris, I'm glad to hear you like how it has come along thus far. With the help from this forum, it has been tweaked and altered to look better than it did originally.
