Wayne, just checking to make sure you had scheduled our meetings into the library's meeting room schedule for 2004?
Also, as an update to the website hosting situation. I already have an account, space and login on the Train Yard Software servers for our website. By show of hands i.e. private email to me, can we see who was interested to be part of the HamLUG website design team? Any thing on your end Wayne with regards to the other offer we got?

Some options as a fallback.
For a different track of topics, I could do a presentation on HTML and CSS basics.
I think most people these days have idea of HTML or do they? (I am curious because there are many good tools out there that hide the details of what's happenign in the code from the user.) Knowing HTML coding basics can be helpful in debugging Web pages.
Cascading Styles Sheets have been around for a while but many Web developers still don't avail of them. I can show some of the reasons why they are a good tool for Web sites.
I believe that either doing CSS alone (if the audience already knows the HTML basics) or doing a very quick HTML basics with most of the presetnation on CSS would work. Of course, this will be done in a Linux environment.
An alternate would be Linux Web approaches in a world where it is assumed "everybody uses IE." This might be trickier to pull off. Maybe I can better handle it within the other presentation by noting poor Web design practices that assume "everybody's using a particular proprietary browser."
