Hey all... appreciate the replies.

My responses:

>> "I like the Q/A however, who comes up with the answer? Is that the
>> last word? maybe there should be the ability to discuss the question /
>> answer"

Whoever submits the question also submits the answer.  I do plan in
implementing a "comments" area where people can comment on the
question and/or answer.  the answer given is by no means meant to be
the "final" or "only" answer.  I'd love to see discussion on whether
or not the answer is a "good" answer... whether or not there's a
"better" answer, etc.

I'd actually rather see people run the code on their own.  If they go
"hmm... I'd like to see that in action", cool.  copy/paste the code
and run it.  Modify it if necessary.  If you make a modification and
see something cool, post it in the aforementioned-still-to-come
comments area :)

At this point, I'm not terribly worried about layout issues.  I'm not
a designer (no, really <g>), and did put a lot of time into just
getting this one working (my first real table-less CSS site.  w00t!).
if there's nothing glaringly wrong, i'm ok with leaving it as-is for
now.  I have functional bits that need to be added first, and those
would take priority over any aesthetic re-design.

>> sell your condo yet?

Got a lease-to-own person in.  They won't cover my full expenses per
month, but they'll cover about $1500 of the $1800 that place runs me.
So I have full-on wood over that.  Thanks for asking :)

>> After you view the answer, there should be a link to the next question in

Agreed about the link.  Will add that.  As far as posting a response
before viewing the answer... I didn't really intend this to be an
interactive test/quiz kind of site.  But if the masses clamor for
it... I can add it to the to-do list.

>> Maybe that comment box could keep a running tab of the questions you

See above regarding the running tab of questions that you answered.
However, I do like the idea of printing out the questions.  Hadn't
thought about that.  Will definitely be adding it to the list.

Thanks again, everybody! :)
