I did pretty much what Mark Langford suggested, but without his permission ;o) Back about 10 years ago when I set up my little flysquirrel.net website on what was then called GeoCities (free), I started by opening one of Mark's webpages, right-clicking on it to 'view source code', then copied and pasted the source code into Notepad as the starting point for my own website and subsequent pages. At that time I had no idea what HTML was or how to write it, but following Mark's coding was easy, and then viewing the result onscreen showed me what I needed to tweak. I am grateful to him for showing me how to do it, and I've never felt the need to go back and add pizzazz to any of it. I keep the pages reasonably short, images reasonably compact, and I stay the heck away from any sort of flashing lights, whiz-bang effects, fade-in and fade-out, music, ads, watermarks, wallpaper, or anything else on my site or pages.
GeoCities was taken over by Yahoo! and I have now opted to pay a minimal sum for some enhanced services, storage size, and a few other things... but the monthly cost is less than the cheapest family-size pizza I can get at Papa Murphy's, so I'm OK with that. Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR
