More on Crosswinds [net] ...
Read their guidelines and they suit me just fine. Only one problem ...
they apparently ran out of space and don't expect to be open to new
"sign ons" until tomorrow.
I currently need a website for a project in July. It's not gonna be
fancy, primarily pure text. But since it will be simply FAQs and tips
on things I've found out, it doesn't need graphics. I *may* import the
Arachne & Any Browser mini-banners though. <G>
